Custom Shortcuts

Hi, I want to create a shortcut that will open the Ring app and snooze two locations so when someone is working in the yard, I'm not always hearing the ring sound and neither are my dogs who think someone is at the door, when in reality, there are guys mowing the lawn. I have two other shortcuts I want to create with other apps. One is simply to open the app, which does have a userid/pw. But not every app on my phone even comes up to be able to just open it, such as Ring. Shortcuts just won't see it.

Thank you,

Thank you. I sure wish this worked on what I need to do. It only find a very select few apps with which you can open, much less perform actions. Hopefully this gets enhanced, as it's really a cool function.
