Abstract

Systems and methods are disclosed for integrating with a first remote application with a second application that may also be remote. A module of the browser may generate a task with respect to an interface rendered in the browser. A task may be stored with a reference to the interface, which may be represented by a URL. Upon subsequent accessing of the interface, the module may then determine that one or more tasks have been associated with that URL and present them with the interface, such as superimposed on the interface in the form of a link to the one or more tasks or some other visual indicator that tasks are associated with that interface. A configuration file may define where the visual indicator is superimposed on the interface. Tasks generated may be integrated with a second remote application implementing project management or other functions.

Dependent claims

A method for application integration comprising:

rendering, by a browser executing on a user computing device associated with a first user, an interface to a first remote application executing on a first remote server;
receiving, on the user computing device, an instruction to a module executing within the browser to generate a data object with respect to the interface;
and
in response to receiving the instruction—
generating the data object;
associating a reference to the interface to the first remote application with the data object;
storing the data object;
receiving, by the browser or a different browser, subsequent navigation to the interface to the first application;
rendering, by the browser or the different browser, the interface to the first application
detecting, by the module executing within the browser or the different browser, navigation to the interface to the first application interface;
determining that the task has the reference to the interface to the first remote application with the data object;
and
in response to determining that the task has the reference to the interface to the first remote application, rendering a visual reference to the task superimposed on the interface to the first remote application.

A computer system comprising one or more processors and one or more memory devices operably coupled to the one or more processors, the one or more memory device storing executable and operational data effective to cause the one or more processors to:

render, by a browser, an interface to a first remote application executing on a first remote server with respect to an account of a first user;
receive an instruction to a module executing within the browser to generate a data object with respect to the interface;
in response to receiving the instruction—
generate the data object;
associate a reference to the interface to the first remote application with the data object and with an account of the first user and accounts of one or more second users;
and
store the data object;
receive, by the browser, navigation to the interface to the first application;
render, by the browser, the interface to the first application
detect by the module executing within the browser, navigation to the interface to the first application interface;
determine that the task has the reference to the interface to the first remote application with the data object;
and
evaluate a user identifier currently logged into the module;
if the task has the reference to the interface to the first remote application and the user identifier currently logged into the module corresponds to an account of at least one of the first user and one of the one or more second users, render a visual reference to the task superimposed on the interface to the first remote application
if the user identifier currently logged into the module does not correspond to an account of any of the first user and the one or more second users, refrain from rendering the visual reference to the task superimposed on the interface to the first remote application.
