When you enable “Do Not Disturb” mode on iPhone, all Incoming calls, messages and Notifications, including Calendar Alerts will be silenced, which can potentially lead to the possibility of missing important events, meetings and appointments.
Luckily, it is possible to Get Calendar Alerts on iPhone, even when your device is placed in Do Not Disturb Mode and this can be achieved by enabling Time Sensitive Notifications for the Calendar App on your iPhone.
Get Calendar Alerts When iPhone Is In “Do Not Disturb”
As mentioned above, an easy way to Get Calendar Alerts, when your iPhone is placed in “Do Not Disturb” Mode is to enable Time Sensitive Notifications for the Calendar App.
Another way to make your iPhone provide Calendar Alerts during Do Not Disturb mode is to exclude the Calendar App from Focus Mode.

Enabling Time Sensitive Notifications ensures that Calendar Alerts remain visible on the Lock Screen of your iPhone for a period of one hour.
2. Exclude Calendar App from Do Not Disturb Mode
