What magic buttons are and why they appear beside your work
On this page
You don't go looking for a magic button — it shows up next to what you were already doing.
What is a magic button?
A decision, already worked out. Before a button appears, Tabflows has identified the supported workflow and the context it needs. Depending on the button, one press may open Sidekick with the right context or run a documented action in a connected system.
Press "Schedule" beside a Spruce message and Sidekick opens with that patient's request loaded and the Elation calendar in reach.
Magic buttons are presented, not installed. There is nothing to set up — Tabflows provides them.
Why did it appear here?
Tabflows reads the context of the moment: the screen you're on and the work in it. Draft Assist carries a ⓘ — hover it and Tabflows explains how it wrote the draft.
How do I know it's a Tabflows button?
Every magic button carries the Tabflows mark. Inside someone else's EMR, that is how you tell a Tabflows button from a native one at a glance.
Where will I see them?
Beside the work they act on:
| Location | Trigger |
|---|---|
| Beside a message | "Schedule" next to a Spruce message that reads as a scheduling request |
| On a patient chart | "Click for AI Patient Summary" on a Cerbo or Elation chart |
| In a pane you open | The "REFERRAL ASSIST" chip in Elation's referral pane |
Every Magic Button carries the Tabflows mark. On Draft Assist, hover the information icon to see how Tabflows wrote the draft.
Why don't I see a button?
A button only appears when its requirements are met. Check whether:
- Open the page where you expect the Magic Button.
- Confirm the intended patient is linked when that workflow requires a patient.
- Confirm Hide smart buttons is off.
- Check that the work on screen matches the button’s purpose.
- Update or refresh Tabflows, then try again. If the button still does not appear, contact Tabflows Support.
