Publication number: 20250088551Abstract: Disclosed are systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable media for a reporting platform system. The reporting platform system receives a configuration object for an account that defines a format in which communication data associated with the account will be received by the reporting platform system, and a format into which the communication is to be reformatted. The reporting platform system receives a stream of communication data associated with the account and converts the stream of communication data in real-time based on the configuration object for the account. The resulting converted communication data is in the converted format defined by the configuration object. The reporting platform system provides query functionality on the converted communication data.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 21, 2024Publication date: March 13, 2025Inventors: Scott Reynolds, Sriram Ramarathnam, Jack Alan Littleton, Ravindra Ishmitra Bhanot, Thomas Tobin, Sara Falkoff
