Abstract
A communication server, computer-readable storage medium, and computer-implemented method for executing commands embedded in messages are provided. The method may include accessing a message that is being routed through a communication server. The message may include a command operator that is operative to execute an action performed by a network-based service executing on an application server. The method may further include identifying the command operator included in the message, and transmitting a request to the application server to perform the action corresponding thereto.
Claims20
A method comprising:
- accessing a message routed through a communication server;
- identifying, using a processor of a machine, a command operator included in the message, the command operator corresponding to an action performed by a network-based service;
- and
- responsive to identifying the command operator in the message, transmitting a request to an application server executing the network-based service to perform the action corresponding to the command operator.
A communication server comprising:
- a processor of a machine;
- a parsing module to access a message routed through the communication server, the parsing module further to identify, using the processor of the machine, a command operator in the message, the command operator being operative to invoke an action performed by a network-based service hosted by an application server;
- and
- a command execution module to transmit a request to the application server hosting the network-based service to perform the action corresponding to the command operator.
A machine-readable storage medium having no transitory signals and embodying instructions that, when executed by a machine, cause the machine to perform operations comprising:
- accessing a message routed through a communication server;
- identifying a command operator included in the message, the command operator corresponding to an action performed by a network-based service;
- and
- responsive to identifying the command operator in the message, transmitting a request to perform the action corresponding to the command operator, the request being transmitted to an application server executing the network-based service.
