Ring Contact Sensor Not Triggering Alexa Routine

Hi - I searched the web and it seems like this issue has come up before however this was 1yr+ ago. I just bought the ring alarm system (2nd gen), mostly to use the contact sensors to trigger routines. Both the ring and Alexa app recognize the devices but do not actually trigger the routine. This also happens with my Ring doorbell (which used to work). I have tried other contact sensors from other brands and they work perfectly (door opens, outdoor lights come on). Anybody have any insight as to if this will be fixed? I am debating on returning the alarm system since I really just wanted to use Ring's contact sensors. Thanks! Note: The routine also works when I manually click "play" in the Alexa app.
