User status synchronization among workspace applications

A method for determining current user status information, the method comprising:

• receiving, by at least one processor, a first message specifying status information of a first user from a first end-user application being of a first type;
• processing, by the at least one processor, the status information of a first user to determine current user status information for the first user;
• generating, by the at least one processor, a second message specifying the current user status information for the first user;
• and
• transmitting, by the at least one processor, the second message to a second end-user application being of a second type distinct from the type of the first end-user application such that at least one second user can review the current user status information for the first user.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing computer-executable instructions to determine current user status information, the instructions comprising instructions to:

• receive a first message specifying status information of a first user from a first end-user application being of a first type;
• process the status information of a first user to determine current user status information for the first user;
• generate a second message specifying the current user status information for the first user;
• and
• transmit the second message to a second end-user application being of a second type distinct from the type of the first end-user application such that at least one second user can review the current use status information for the first user.
