That functionality is natively available to Echos as of a couple of weeks ago - no need for even any smartapps to enable it. I can’t speak to the Ring contact sensor specifically but pretty much any “real” sensor should work. Some people were reporting difficulties with virtual contact sensors in the thread below but it doesn’t seem consistent.
