1. Add var %LastTaskOpen
2. Create Profile → Event → Display → Display Unlocked
3. Add Action → Alert → Flash: "Launching app"
4. Add Action → App → Shortcut (use the deeplink from your task app)
5. Add if %LastTaskOpen ~ 0
6. Add Action → Variables → Variable Add %LastTaskOpen
7. Add Action → Variables → Variable Set %LastTaskOpen to 0 if %LastTaskOpen > 6
