Using Shortcuts to Turn On/Off Notifications

Im running iOS 15.1.1 on an iPhone 13 Pro Max, and I want to make a shortcut that turns notifications off for certain apps (Outlook, A Support Ticket app, Slack, etc.)


This could be for a period of time, or until I use a different shortcut to turn them back on.


The reason I want it to be a shortcut is so that I can activate it when I need to instead of relying on a schedule (screen time) or going into each apps notification settings.


Is this something I can do using the native iOS shortcuts app? I can't find a notification action when attempting to do so...


Bonus points if anyone can help me do it for a ~specific~ slack workspace.

iPhone 13 Pro Max, iOS 15

Hey destiny,

Does this work for specific apps? I'd love to still get notifications from apps like messages, instagram, and other apps while still keeping a select few quiet
