Abstract: Systems and methods for providing status indicators for various forms of user activity that occurs across different digital contexts of a collaboration platform. A system can monitor activity that a particular user is performing within a particular digital context and provide status indicators to a different user within a different digital context when the monitored activity meets one or more criteria. For example, a system may cause a status indicator to be displayed in association with a data object within the digital context of a message thread when a specific type of user activity is occurring with respect to that data object within the digital context of an application that facilitates editing of the content of the data object. Thus, a system can deliver timely and contextually relevant status indicators about how team members are currently interacting with a data object without users having to switch between digital contexts.

Abstract: The techniques disclosed herein enable systems to provide status indicators for intended recipients about a person's future or predicted availability. A system can analyze contextual information from a number of different resources and provide status indicators about a person when parameters of a person's status meet one or more criteria. For example, a system may deliver a status indicator describing a person's status when a time, duration, or type of a status, such as a vacation or holiday, meet one or more criteria. By controlling the display of status indicators using one or more criteria, a system only shows a particular user's status indicators that matter to a particular recipient. A system can deliver timely, contextually relevant status indicators while mitigating distractions that may be caused by a large number of unwanted status indicators. Timely status indicators also allow users to establish efficient collaboration protocols with other users.
