Abstract: An application platform system and method. A data synchronization instance manages a reference state object for a data synchronization system (DSS) account. A first local state object is stored at a first application system. The first application system receives update notifications provided by the DSS. A second local state object is stored at a second application system. The second application system receives update notifications provided by the DSS. An application instruction of the first application system is transformed into a state update, and the first local state object is modified to include the state update. The state update is provided to the DSS via a local update notification. The reference state object is modified to include the state update. The state update is provided to the second application system via a reference update notification. The second local state object is modified to include the state update.

Abstract: A machine selects a candidate data service to be tested for service quality. The machine performs a first-phase test of the candidate data service by providing predetermined input data to the candidate data service and measuring a first quality metric that results. The machine may determine that the candidate data service is to undergo the second-phase test based on the first quality metric, and the machine may accordingly perform the second-phase test of the candidate data service. The second-phase test may include: adding the candidate data service to a pool of five data services processing undetermined input data; routing a portion of the undetermined input data to the candidate data service; and measuring a second quality metric resultant from the candidate data service processing the routed portion. Based on the second quality metric, the machine may record whether the candidate data service is to remain in the pool.

Abstract: A first request to create a content template for messages to be sent via communications channels via a software-as-a-service (SaaS) platform is received via a first application programming interface (API) call. The first request specifies elements of the content template in a first format. The content template comprising the elements in the first format is created based on the first request. The first format is translatable to channel-specific formats corresponding to the communication channels. The content template in the first format is stored at the SaaS platform.

Abstract: A machine learning model may be trained using annotated communications data. Each communication (e.g., a short messaging system (SMS) message or email) is annotated with a measure of user interaction. The machine learning model is thus trained to predict a measure of user interaction for future communications. Before sending future communications, at least a portion of the communication is provided to the trained machine learning model to predict the expected measure of user interaction with the communication. In response to the prediction, the sender of the communication may alter the communication. The system may automatically send the communication if the predicted measure of user interaction exceeds a predetermined threshold and only prompt the user if the predicted measure of user interaction does not exceed the predetermined threshold.

Abstract: Systems and methods for communicating media between a client and a media server. Responsive to a communication initiation received by a signaling controller from a client system, the signaling controller invites a media server by providing an invitation to the media server. The media server is bridged with the client system by controlling a media proxy service to establish a media proxy between the client system and the media server by using client media parameters of the first communication initiation and media server media parameters provided by the media server responsive to the invitation. Media is communicated between the external client system and the media server by using the established media proxy.

Abstract: An omni-channel adapter receives a request to create a communication session for a customer. Based on the request, the omni-channel adapter selects a channel-specific orchestrator. The request is modified, or a new request is generated, to suit the selected channel-specific orchestrator. The channel-specific request is sent to the channel-specific orchestrator. In response, the channel-specific orchestrator creates the communication session. Further communications between the customer and the channel-specific orchestrator may also be intermediated by the omni-channel adapter, which may maintain state information about the communication session. For example, a unique identifier may be generated by the omni-channel adapter or the channel-specific orchestrator for the communication session. A request by the customer to add an additional device to the communication session may include the identifier of the session.
