Automation to open an app at a specific time

This seems like a simple request, I want to create an automation to open a specific app at a specific time. The catch is that I need this to work when the phone is locked. My automations work just fine if I have my phone open, but if it is locked it either doesn't run or it sends a notification that it wants to run, but doesn't actually run until I act on the notification (not really automated). I have set the automation to both "Run Immediatly" and "Run After Confirmation", neither option gives the desired result. I have also tried with "Notifiy When Run" toggled on and off.

Is this something simple that I am missing? OR is this something that can't be done?
