Abstract: A method of processing messages executes at a computing device having one or more processors and memory. The memory stores one or more programs for execution by the one or more processors. Upon identification of a message subset in the plurality of messages pertaining to an event of a first event type or a first entity, an action associated with the message subset is executed thereby obtaining content from a data source distinct from the messages. A graphic compilation is formatted for display in the user in-box of a messaging application. A first portion of the compilation comprises the distinct data source content, a second portion of the compilation lists event items associated with the event or first entity extracted from the message subset, and a third portion of the compilation lists a plurality of objects, each of which is a synopsis of a message in the message subset.
