A Magic Link is a unique URL that records an Annotation event to your Fulcra Datastore every time it’s activated. You can use it to quickly log data from outside the app — perfect for creating custom buttons or automations.

You can use Magic Links to create your own custom logging buttons or automations. For example, trigger them through:

  • Apple Shortcuts – Add to your Home Screen or use with automations

  • Smart buttons – Like Flic or NFC tags for physical one-tap tracking

  • Any app or device that can open a URL

Note that any time you update the Annotation’s tags, values, or notes, the link updates, too.

⚠️ All Annotations except for Duration can have a Magic Link.

Here's how to get your Magic Link in the Context App:

  1. In the Annotations tab, hold the Annotations you want to get a Magic Link for and swipe left.

  2. This will open the window to record an Annotation.

  3. Tap + Magic Link

    1. To assign a specific value in your Magic Link, simply choose a value first before tapping on + Magic Link

    2. You can also remove or add tags to be included in the Link.

  4. Tap on the Copy button next to the Magic Link to copy it.
