Event triggered notifications for collaborative processes

A computer program product to notify a user of a collaborative process that an event of interest has occurred, comprising:

• a non-transitory computer readable storage medium having computer readable program code embodied therewith, the computer readable program code comprising:
• computer readable program code configured to implement a graphical user interface that, when executed on a processing device, graphically interacts with a user to identify electronically generated collaborative content of a corresponding computer-executed collaborative process that is to be tracked, wherein the user defines an originator of the generated collaborative content;
• computer readable program code configured to implement a portion of the graphical user interface that graphically interacts with the originator of the collaborative content to designate at least one event that triggers a notification to the originator of the collaborative content;
• computer readable program code configured to implement a portion of the graphical user interface that communicates with a collaborative process server computer coupled to a network environment to identify the collaborative process to be tracked and at least one event associated with the collaborative process to monitor;
• computer readable program code configured to share the collaborative content with at least one recipient;
• computer readable program code configured to receive by the graphical user interface, an indication from the collaborative process server computer that at least one designated event has occurred other than a communication from any recipient back to the originator;
• and
• computer readable program code configured to transform the graphical user interface to modify a visual display of the shared collaborative content when a designated event associated with the shared collaborative content is detected so as to visually depict a notification of the occurrence of the at least one designated event to the originator.
