INTEGRATION BETWEEN MESSAGING SYSTEMS AND COLLABORATIVE APPLICATIONS

The subject technology allows for integration between a messaging system and a collaborative application. Users can create a message thread with multiple user accounts and include a document link associated with a collaborative application. The messaging system generates obfuscated identifiers for each user account and provides them to the collaborative application. The initial message exchanged between the user accounts establishes the obfuscated identifiers for the document link in the collaborative application.

Integration between messaging system and collaborative application
Creation of message thread with multiple user accounts
Inclusion of document link associated with collaborative application
Generation of obfuscated identifiers for each user account
Provision of obfuscated identifiers to collaborative application
Establishment of obfuscated identifiers for document link through initial message exchange

Potential Applications

Collaboration platforms
Project management tools
Document sharing and editing applications

Problems Solved

Simplifies integration between messaging and collaborative applications
Provides a seamless experience for users to collaborate on documents within a messaging system

Benefits

Improved efficiency in collaborating on documents
Enhanced user experience with integrated messaging and collaborative features
Increased productivity through streamlined communication and document sharing

Original Abstract Submitted

Aspects of the subject technology provide for integration between a messaging system and a collaborative application. A messaging system may receive, via user input, an instruction to create a message thread with a plurality of user accounts. The message thread may include a document link associated with a collaborative application. The messaging system may generate, for each of the user accounts, an obfuscated identifier associated with that user account and a document link. The messaging system may provide the obfuscated identifiers to the collaborative application. An initial message exchanged between the plurality of user accounts with the document link in the message thread may establish, for the collaborative application, the obfuscated identifiers that will be associated with the document link.
