Can I silence calls from a certain contact but not block them?

There is a function in text messages to "hide alerts" (or the "do not disturb") for each contact that texts you. Is there a similar function for calls? I don't want to silence all calls and I don't want to block this contact, but I would like to silence the calls.

iPhone 7 Plus, iOS 11.0.2

There's no easy way. One way is to include all of the contacts that you want to hear in your VIP list, then enable Do Not Disturb full time.


Another, probably easier, is to get or make a "silent" ringtone and assign it to the contact.
