notification from specific email subject

Mt wife works from home and gets a time off email each day listing time off options for the next day. I have figured out how to have a certain sound come on when it is from the email address - the problem is, the corporate email sends lots of messages all day. We need to further cull the messages down to those with only a mention in the subject line "Time Off". Does anyone have a solution? Thank you in advance.

iPhone 6, iOS 9.2

if the subject line can be the identifier, i.e." time off options" etc. you could use your email client to forward (via a rule) these emails to another email address used just for that purpose, and then have your notification set for just that specific email address.


In other words... email app gets a message with an identifiable subject line.. it forwards it to email address C. You set your phone to only notify you if an email comes in for email address C. Since the only emails received for email address C are the ones you want to hear about, you achieve your goal.
