Abstract: Techniques described herein are directed to generating and presenting customized directives for facilitating interactions between user(s) and user interface(s) associated with a content service provider. In an example, the content service provider may determine a state associated with a user based on user data associated with the user. Additionally, the content service provider may receive context data identifying an action performed by the user in association with content item(s) presented via a graphical user interface (GUI) and may determine an intent of the user based at least partly on the context data. Based at least partly on the state associated with the user and the intent of the user, the content service provider may determine a directive for prompting the user to access and/or use a feature associated with the content service provider and may cause a change to the GUI to communicate the directive.

Abstract: The present approach relates to integrating a third-party interface with a client instance hosted by one or more data centers, wherein the client instance is accessible by one or more remote client networks. In accordance with the present approach, a request to incorporate a third-party communication interface with the client instance is determined by the client instance. Then, an authorization to incorporate the communication interface with the client instance interface is verified based at least in part on a comparison between an account authorized to access the third-party communication interface and an account authorized to access with the client instance. In response to the verification, a service request interface from the client instance is integrated with the third-party communication interface. Then, a service request is generated via the client instance based on one or more content from the third-party communication interface and one or more data from the client instance.
