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:
In the Annotations tab, hold the Annotations you want to get a Magic Link for and swipe left.
This will open the window to record an Annotation.
Tap + Magic Link
Assign a specific value in your Magic Link. Choose a value first before tapping on + Magic Link.
You can also remove or add tags to be included in the Link.
Tap on the Copy button next to the Magic Link to copy it.
