What magic buttons are and why they appear beside your work

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:

LocationTrigger
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 openThe "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.
