Cannot turn off Shortcuts automation notifications

I'm having trouble turning off notifications for my Shortcuts automations. When I go into the Shortcuts app and tap on the automation, there is no "Notify When Run" toggle. I've also checked in my main iPhone Settings under Notifications, but the Shortcuts app isn't listed there either. Is there another way to disable these alerts? Any help would be appreciated!

iPhone 16 Pro, iOS 26

It depends on the Shortcut whether you will have the Notify When Run option to toggle it off. Basic triggers such as Time of Day will give you the option to turn if off, but triggers that Apple considers as being privacy sensitive such as a Location Change or Connection to WiFi will always display a Notification without the ability to shut it off. The Notify When Run toggle is only seen when the Automation for those basic triggers is set to Run Immediately, since the Run on Confirmation is your notification that the Automation is going to run.
