I’m trying to make a shortcut that sets an alarm for tomorrow morning that varies on when I have first appointment that day. But there is no action for that.
Is that feature that is coming in later or what? I saw some beta testers (developer) on internet using exactly that action...
iPhone X, iOS 12
Don't see the shortcut that you want to use?
You might need to open the app and perform the action before it appears in the suggested list of shortcuts.
Third-party apps need to support Siri Shortcuts before you can add them to Siri. If you don't see a shortcut for a third-party app, make sure that the app is up to date and check the App Store to see if the app supports Siri Shortcuts.

the Edit Bedtime function can only be accessed if Siri Suggests it - as of 21st of October 2018. This might change in the future, however.
I have seen that Shortcuts 2.1 Beta 2 has introduced actions such as:
So we can rest assured that there are more actions coming into Shortcuts, and they're a mere AppStore update away. Here's hoping that Shortcuts 2.1 will come out around mid-November or before start of December, would be great.
There's no talk of entering Edit BedTime though, as that's a really useful feature to have on an iPhone, ever since Siri Suggested it, I've incorporated it into my Beddybyes shortcut that sets my phone up for going to bed, and the last action is to start up Edit Bedtime, I set that and then just lock the phone and zzz away.
We might get these features in the future. I certainly hope so. As Shortcuts is separate from iOS, and available on the AppStore, I'm crossing my fingers that we'll get way more hooks for Shortcuts than currently available, in the future.
In order to get an alarm function with Siri Shortcuts, all you have to do is create the alarm using Siri or create the alarm within the Clock app. Then if you go into the search bar and then to Siri Suggestions when creating a shortcut it should show "Create an alarm for...". The same goes for timers as well. However, there is no way to use Siri Shortcuts to start the stopwatch or open the Clock app through "Open App". I don't know if you can use Bedtime in any way since I don't use it.
Not the Clock app, but you could do something like this with the Calendar App. Depending how you have your notifications set up and whatnot it would functionally be the same thing.
No Clock App in Siri Shortcuts
