Abstract: A workflow generation system may receive communication data identifying a communication created by a user of a client device, and may process the communication data, with a machine learning model, to determine whether a workflow is needed and particular recipients to be included in the workflow. The machine learning model may be trained based on historical communication data, historical workflow data based on natural language processing, and historical response data based on a sentiment analysis. The workflow generation system may generate a proposed workflow when the workflow is determined to be needed and based on the particular recipients, and may provide data identifying the proposed workflow to the client device. The workflow generation system may receive an approval of the proposed workflow from the client device, and cause the communication to be provided to the particular recipients, in a particular order, based on receiving the approval of the proposed workflow.

Abstract: A transaction card may monitor an amount of electric current induced in a first near-field communication (NFC) component of a transaction card. Electric current may be induced in the first NFC component when the first NFC component is within an electromagnetic field generated by a second NFC component of a transaction terminal. The transaction card may dynamically activate one or more output components associated with the transaction card based on the amount of electric current induced in the first NFC component. The one or more output components may indicate whether the transaction card can communicate with the transaction terminal. The transaction card may perform an action related to completing a transaction after determining that the amount of electric current induced in the NFC component satisfies a first threshold. The first threshold may indicate that the transaction card can communicate with the transaction terminal.
