  • Patent number: 11669581
    Abstract: Examples described herein can identify items from third-party or backend services, obtain relevant information for those items, and automatically populate hyperlinks relevant to those items in a draft email. A regular expressions search can be executed on the text of a draft email. When a match is found, the email client can request, from a server, an object associated with the matching expression. The server can obtain the object, using one or more connectors that provide access to a backend system, and provide it to the email client. The email client can extract a URL from the object and enter the URL into a links table stored on the user device. The email client can pull the URL from the links table and use it to automatically generate a hyperlink of the regular expression within the body of the draft email.

  • Publication number: 20230114582
    Abstract: Systems and methods are described for providing check-in service that dynamically manages in-person meetings. In an example, the check-in service can receive a meeting request for a meeting of a first user with a second user at a location. The first user can request the meeting using a graphical user interface (“GUI”) or the check-in service can identify a meeting request based on a message sent from the first user to the second user. When the second user visits the location, the check-in service can send the meeting request to a user device of the second user. The second user can respond on the user device by accepting, rejecting, or postponing the meeting request. If postponed, the check-in service can place the meeting request in a queue and resend the meeting request when the second user next visits the location. If accepted, the check-in service can notify the first user.

  • Patent number: 11588768
    Abstract: Methods and systems are described for intelligently managing hero cards generated for a user profile. In an example, a server can collect user interaction data that measures how a user interacts with system components. The system components can include emails, hero cards, and software applications. The server can analyze the user interaction data to determine whether a new hero card type should be enabled for a user profile, whether an active hero card type should be disabled for the user profile, and whether parameters for action options on hero cards should be changed for the user profile. The server can make changes to hero cards for the user profile so that the user can receive customized hero cards based on the user's behavior.

  • Patent number: 11570165
    Abstract: Disclosed are various approaches for authenticating a user through a voice assistant device and creating an association between the device and a user account. The request is associated with a network or federated service. The user is prompted to use a client device, such as a smartphone, to facilitate an authentication flow. A soundwave is played through the client device that contains a secret key, which is then sent to a service that validates the secret key. An association between the user account and the voice assistant device can then be created so that access to third party services can occur.

  • Patent number: 11558321
    Abstract: Disclosed are various embodiments for integrating an email client with hosted applications. An email is received from an email client. An image that is a component of the email is identified and sent to an optical character recognition (OCR) service. Extracted text is received from the OCR service. A request for an action object is then sent to a connector for an application, the action object representing a potential action that could be performed with the application based on the extracted text from the OCR service. The action object is then sent to the email client, which is configured to display a prompt allowing a user to perform the action represented by the action object.

  • Publication number: 20230004619
    Abstract: Systems and methods presented herein provide smart web links that display the most relevant portion of a shared web page based on the context in which the web page is shared. An agent on a user device can detect a uniform resource locator (“URL”) shared on a communication channel. The agent can send the URL and content from the communication channel to a server. The server can retrieve a web page of the URL and identify sections of it. The server can compare the sections to the communication content to determine which section is the most semantically similar. The server can modify the web page to generate a custom preview, highlight the semantically similar content, and cause the web page to automatically scroll to the highest scoring section. The agent can change the shared URL to a new URL that directs to the modified web page.
