Initiate BLE Pairing with NFC

I’m trying to use NFC to initiate a BLE connection between a phone and a particle board (Argon or Xenon). I then want to send data from the board to the phone over bluetooth. I’m just looking to build a proof of concept and don’t care too much of security. Any thoughts on if this is possible? Any resources that explains how this works?

I think this would be a good starting point for the fundamentals

After that have a look here - particularly the examples - for the BLE side of the pairing process
https://docs.particle.io/tutorials/device-os/bluetooth-le/

And then here to setup the virtual NFC tag on your device to present the required data
