How to Set Alert on Document Set Only - not the Documents inside the Document Set

We are trying to set an alert on a view in a Library that is filtered to show only Document Sets. When an Alert is set to send for New Items Added for this view, the alert is sent for the addition of a Document Set but also if a Document is added inside the Document Set.

Does anyone know if this can be achieved so alerts ARE NOT sent for Documents inside the Document Set.

I know a workflow can be set up but it would be easier for the End User if they could set up their own Alerts.

I don’t think it’s possible to set alert on the document set only. In the SharePoint server, all documents inside document set will be set alert when you set alert on the document set.
