Request - Secret Alerts

I would like to have the ability for sensors to provide "Secret Alerts." By that I mean for a sensor to be placed on something like a liquor cabinet, refrigerator, etc. so that when the sensor is tripped, it sends a secret alert in ANY mode to your phone - that for instance "liquor cabinet door opened." Competition has it and I used it with them in the past so I know for example if the teenagers opened the liquor cabinet.

    Technically you can do that right now with Alexa. Just add the Ring skill to Alexa. Setup a routine for the "Secret" sensor to message your phone. Takes about two minutes to setup.

      For now that could work, but prefer to have it solely within Ring Alarm System. However, I have never used routines in Alexa…could you possibly steer me how to accomplish secret alert that way? Thanks!
