Run 2 commands when starting windows terminal

Question

What I want to do is connect to my VPN via rasdial and ssh into my machine when I open a Windows Terminal window, but I can't figure out how to do both on startup.
I created a new profile, but in the 'commandline' section I can't run more than one command as && or ; don't seem to work.
Another issue I have is that when I run the rasdial command on startup the window closes immediately.
The syntax in the json file is as follows:
"commandline": "command"
Any help would be appreciated.

&& and ; are shell interpreter features, so just call a shell interpreter to make them work:
"command": "cmd /c rasdial this && ssh that"

Should also work with other shells, though PowerShell seems to need a lot of obscure options:
"command": "powershell -NoProfile -Command "rasdial this && ssh that""
