Event planning using social networking enables an efficient implementation of planning an event, as well as minimizing network traffic and optimizing other technological aspects of life. Additional information acquired by sensors and other technology is able to improve the quality of the event planning Social network information as well as the additional information is able to be used to select aspects of the event such as time, location, and/or many other aspects of the event.

A method comprises generating a claim wall comprising a website page and associated with the insurance claim, providing access to the claim wall for an insured party, an insuring party, and a third party service provider, generating a claim entry associated with the insurance claim including one or more tasks for processing of the insurance claim, and posting the claim entry including the one or more tasks on the claim wall.

One variation of a method for end-to-end encryption of electronic mail includes: receiving an email encrypted according to a first encryption protocol and designating a recipient within an external domain; verifying encryption protocol supported by the recipient's mail client; in response to a recipient exclusion database identifying the recipient, encrypting the email to a less-robust encryption protocol supported by the recipient mail client and transmitting the email to the !recipient; in response to the recipient exclusion database excluding the recipient and the recipient mail client supporting the first encryption protocol, transmitting the email encrypted according to the first encryption protocol to the recipient; and, in response to the recipient exclusion database excluding the recipient and the recipient mail client not supporting the first encryption protocol, generating a notification email including a hyperlink to a secure webpage containing content of the email and transmitting the notification email to the recipient.

A method can include receiving a request for a read receipt by a first user of a predetermined user group for a session. The request for a read receipt can refer to an information segment of the thread supplied with a tag by the first user. The tag can include a predetermined character string identifying at least one second user from whom the first user requests the read receipt for the tagged information segment. The second user can be identified in a database, a notification containing the information segment to at least one second user can be sent and an acknowledgment message from the second user that he has read the notification containing the information segment can then be received for assigning a read receipt to the information segment as soon as the at least one second user has read the notification.

A system for generating a global conversation thread includes a processor that receives data associated with a plurality of individual conversations between one or more users using one or more user devices and models individual conversation threads based on the data. The processor also extracts features from the modeled conversation threads, and links the conversations based on the extracted features to create a global conversation thread. The individual conversations occur on different platforms and the global conversation thread includes content from the different platforms.

The issue-discovery services described herein may access data from the messaging platform and/or the issue-tracking platform to automatically determine issue attributes for creating a new issue in the issue-tracking platform based on activity in the messaging platform. The issue-discovery service may provide or otherwise be associated with a user input element presented on a client device (e.g., presented in the chat user interface), which allows a user of the client device to provide a user input to create a new issue in the issue-tracking platform based on activity in the chat channel. The user input may identify content associated with the chat channel (e.g., one or more messages displayed in the chat user interface) for use in creating the new issue in the issue-tracking platform.

A method for managing cloud service providers (CSPs) includes obtaining, by a CSP management service, CSP user information corresponding to a plurality of users, initiating access to user content in at least a CSP of the CSPs using the CSP user information, after obtaining the CSP user information: obtaining, from a meeting preparation service, a content provide request, wherein the content provide request corresponds to a meeting, in response to the content provide request: obtaining access links to each data object of the user content that corresponds to the meeting, and providing dashboard-ready information to the meeting preparation service, wherein the dashboard-ready information comprises the access links.

Systems, devices, and methods for generating and sending messages are described. messages are autonomously generated by at least one processor by identifying environmental context of a device, system, or user, such that minimal input is required from the user. Environmental context can include at least time, date, calendar entries, user activity, location, physical environment, message history, and relationship between users. Messages can also be generated by generating a first portion of a message, and having the user select a second portion to complete the message. Recipients for a message can be autonomously determined based on environmental context and content of a message to be sent.

A system for automated classifying of electronic messages is disclosed. The system may receive an electronic message comprising a text including a message body and a metadata. The system may determine a case status based on the metadata and extract a set of events form the message body in response to the case status. The system may determine a case type based on the set of events and a set of case types. The system may generate a new case event in a case management system based on the case type.

In a method for managing and distributing content in a plurality of observation platforms, a message is generated with employment related content at a cloud based component of a content distribution manager in response to user interaction via an interface of the content distribution manager presented on a computer system. Responsive to the user interactions and to interactions of third party software via an application program interface with the cloud based component, delivery of the message is scheduled and a plurality of specified devices belonging to a specified class of employees are specified for delivery in a plurality of observation platforms at a designated time and location via the cloud based component. The message is delivered and the delivery and response to the message are measured to the plurality of observation platforms which relay the message to the plurality of specified devices at the designated time and the designated location.
