Start an AppleWatch Workout when GPS-tracking is started on iPhone

In order for the users of my fitness app to also get their Heart-rate recorded when they use our app on the iPhone, it would be nice to automatically start our AppleWatch App and retrieve the users Heart-rate from there. Is this somehow possible? I am pretty sure I found an API for that once but can't find it again any more.
