Automatic generation of dynamically assigned conditional follow-up tasks

A non-transitory computer readable medium having stored thereon instructions that, when executed by one or more processors, are configurable to cause the one or more processors to:

• provide a graphical user communication interface in which an electronic message designating at least one sender and one or more recipients can be composed;
• determine a time when at least one of the one or more recipients has accessed the electronic message;
• determine a response window based on the time when at least one of the one or more recipients has accessed the electronic message;
• generate a follow-up task within an application running on a computing platform that provides at least scheduling functionality corresponding to the response window if a response to the electronic message is not received within the response window, wherein generating the follow-up task comprises at least storing data describing the follow-up task in a database.

A computer-implemented method comprising:

• providing a graphical user communication interface in which an electronic message designating at least one sender and one or more recipients can be composed;
• determining a time when at least one of the one or more recipients has accessed the electronic message;
• determining a response window based on the time when at least one of the one or more recipients has accessed the electronic message;
• generating a follow-up task within an application running on a computing platform that provides at least scheduling functionality corresponding to the response window if a response to the electronic message is not received within the response window, wherein generating the follow-up task comprises at least storing data describing the follow-up task in a database.

A hardware electronic computing device to provide access to an electronic communications functionality, the computing device to:

• provide a graphical user communication interface in which an electronic message designating at least one sender and one or more recipients can be composed;
• determine a time when at least one of the one or more recipients has accessed the electronic message;
• determine a response window based on the time when at least one of the one or more recipients has accessed the electronic message;
• generate a follow-up task within an application running on a computing platform that provides at least scheduling functionality corresponding to the response window if a response to the electronic message is not received within the response window, wherein generating the follow-up task comprises at least storing data describing the follow-up task in a database.
