  • Patent number: 11609954
    Abstract: Described herein are systems, apparatus, methods and computer program products configured for actions to be performed on segments within a pipeline. The disclosed systems and techniques allow a user to select a data segment on a graphical user interface. The user may then utilize the data of the segment to perform one or more actions. Thus the data of the segment may be used to provide communications to parties contained within the data, manipulate the data segment based on the parties contained within the data, and change the data displayed based on attributes selected.

  • Publication number: 20230077698
    Abstract: A message batching configuration may be determined for transmitting a message to recipients. The message batching configuration may include two or more message batches, a respective recipient count for each message batch, a respective time delay between each message batch, and a performance metric for evaluating the message. The message is transmitted in accordance with the message batching configuration. The transmission of subsequent message batches is halted when it is determined that the designated performance metric fails to meet a designated performance metric threshold.

  • Patent number: 11199951
    Abstract: A user interface generation message may be sent from a database system to a client machine via a network. The user interface generation message may include instructions for presenting a database dashboard on a display screen at the client machine. The database dashboard may include a plurality of user interface components that each presents a respective view of information stored in a database. A user interface component selection message may be received from the client machine, identifying one or more of the user interface components. A visual snapshot of the identified user interface components may be created at the database system.

  • Patent number: 10708388
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for defining an action node series at a database system are described. In some examples, the workflow may include one or more nodes are associated with an action. When executed, the workflow may produce an outcome based on the occurrence of an event or parameter associated with the one or more nodes. In some examples, the workflow may include one or more branch nodes. A branch node may include logic such that, when the workflow is executed, the logic selects a particular workflow path that includes its own specific nodes. The path may be selected based on the occurrence of an event or a value of one or more parameters. Thus, when a workflow including one or more branch nodes is executed, the outcome of the workflow may be based on the occurrence of the event or the value of the parameter.
