Add iOS automations in Shortcuts app

Good day!

I'd like to ask you to add some automations in Shortcuts app on iOS.

For example I have a wish to listen to music from my playlist (not from Favourites, but from a concrete one) when my airpods are connected. Of course It could be realized in your Settings too, now It's not avaliable at all.

I can open URL with my playlist automatically, but it doesn't start playing. For this reason I need to touch my screen when it's not convenient because of my profession (dirty hands).

Please add native iOS Shortcuts/App Intents actions for Spotify: Play Playlist, Play URI, Pause/Resume, Set Shuffle, and select a playback device.

My use case is a Bluetooth automation for a car stereo. When my iPhone connects to the vehicle, I need to start a specific downloaded playlist hands-free and reliably, including when mobile reception is poor. At present, a Shortcut can open a playlist URL, but it cannot reliably start playback or set shuffle without extra fragile steps.

These actions would improve safety and accessibility, and would make Spotify much more useful alongside Apple’s Shortcuts automations.
