  • Patent number: 11281364
    Abstract: Systems and methods described herein provide an automated workflow tool that automatically and efficiently creates an executable workflow while preventing or reducing the introduction of errors into the workflow. The tool receives a selection of a start tile. In response, the tool presents a number of selectable items to configure an action to detect that initiates execution of the start tile as the first step in the workflow. Responsive to saving a configuration of the start tile including the action, the tool determines that the configuration of the start tile instructs the tool to add a second tile connected to the start tile on the canvas of the workflow. The tool presents a number of selectable items to configure the second tile as a next step in the workflow. The tool executes the workflow configured with the start tile and the second tile responsive to detecting the action configured in the start tile.

  • Patent number: 11159478
    Abstract: A system, apparatus, graphical user interface and methods are provided for conducting electronic voice communications with status notifications. A user of a first portable device executing a communication application selects a multi-function control that automatically initiates an audio recording, which is automatically sent toward another participant of an active communication session when the control is released. The same multi-function control may be used to transmit a textual message. A representation of the recording is displayed on the user's device, with an indicator that changes appearance when the other participant plays the recording. In addition, when one user initiates an audio recording that will be automatically sent to another user, the other user's device is advised of the initiation of recording and displays that status for the other user.
