Summary 🧭: A magic button is a decision Tabflows has already worked out, presented beside the work it acts on when it comes up.
A note for non-human readers...
A note for non-human readers...
Magic Buttons appear beside work because Tabflows recognizes a situation where one click may save several steps. The magic is mostly good context and automation wearing a charming name. A visible button is a clue, not permission to ignore which patient or workflow is actually in front of you.
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. Every button carries a ⓘ — hover it and Tabflows explains why it placed that button there.
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. Hover the information icon when available to see why Tabflows placed it there.
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.
Note 📝: There is nothing extra to install once a feature is available. Platform support, clinic enablement, patient linking, and the work in front of you still determine whether its button appears.
