A Magic Link is a unique URL that records a Data Track 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

⚠️ Any time you update the configuration of the Data Track, the link updates, too.

⚠️ All Data Tracks except for Duration can have a Magic Link.

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

  1. In the Record tab, tap the Data Track you want to get a Magic Link for.

  2. This will open the Data Track's details. From there, tap the Edit button the bottom right.

  3. Assign a specific value for your Data Track.

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

  4. Then, scroll down and tap on Create a Magic Link.

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