System and method for triaging in a message system on send flow

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium tangibly encoded with computer-executable instructions, that when executed by a processor associated with a computing device, performs a method comprising:

• receiving a classification request from a first user for classification information, said classification information comprising instructions designated by a second user for triaging received messages in an user inbox of the second user, said classification request comprising information associated with a trust key for accessing said classification information from a message account associated with the second user;
• transmitting, to the first user, said classification information based on said classification request;
• receiving, over a network from the first user, a message addressed to the inbox associated with the second user, said message comprising said classification information applied by the first user prior to sending the message;
• parsing said message upon said reception, and based on said parsing, identifying said classification information;
• modifying, upon receiving the message and prior to sending the message to said second user, the message based on said identified classification information, said modification comprising modifying existing metadata of the message based on the identified classification information such that when the message is delivered to said second user inbox, the message causes a receiving inbox to automatically triage the message according to said instructions;
• and
• communicating, over the network, said modified message to said second user inbox, said communication causing, based on the modified metadata of the message, the modified message to be automatically triaged in the second user inbox in accordance with the classification information.

A system comprising:

• a processor;
• a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium for tangibly storing thereon program logic for execution by the processor, the program logic comprising:
• logic executed by the processor for receiving a classification request from a first user for classification information, said classification information comprising instructions designated by a second user for triaging received messages in an user inbox of the second user, said classification request comprising information associated with a trust key for accessing said classification information from a message account associated with the second user;
• logic executed by the processor for transmitting, to the first user, said classification information based on said classification request;
• logic executed by the processor for receiving, over a network from the first user, a message addressed to the inbox associated with the second user, said message comprising said classification information applied by the first user prior to sending the message;
• logic executed by the computing device for parsing said message upon said reception, and based on said parsing, identifying said classification information;
• logic executed by the processor for modifying upon receiving the message and prior to sending the message to said second user, the message based on said identified classification information, said modification comprising modifying existing metadata of the message based on the identified classification information such that when the message is delivered to said second user inbox, the message causes a receiving inbox to automatically triage the message according to said instructions;
• and
• logic executed by the processor for communicating, over the network, said modified message to said second user inbox, said communication causing, based on the modified metadata of the message, the modified message to be automatically triaged in the second user inbox in accordance with the classification information.
