Abstract
One or more computing devices and/or methods for time-based message actions are provided. Time-based message action rules are defined for a message account. A time-based action rule specifics that an action is to be performed upon messages, having a message type, after expiration of a timespan. Message content of a message is analyzed to determine a detected message type of the message. In response to the detected message type of the message matching the message type of the message action rule, a determination is made as to whether the timespan as expired for the message. If the timespan has expired, then the action is performed for the message.
Claims20
A method, comprising:
- defining time-based message action rules for a message account, wherein a time-based action rule specifies that an action is to be performed upon messages, having a message type, after expiration of a timespan;
- analyzing message content of a message associated with the message account to determine a detected message type of the message;
- in response to the detected message type of the message matching the message type of the time-based action rule, determining whether the timespan has expired for the message;
- and
- performing the action upon the message based upon the timespan expiring.
A non-transitory machine-readable medium having stored thereon processor-executable instructions that when executed cause performance of operations comprising:
- defining time-based message action rules for a message account, wherein a time-based action rule specifies that an action is to be performed upon messages, having a message type, after expiration of a timespan;
- analyzing message content of a message associated with the message account to determine a detected message type of the message;
- in response to the detected message type of the message matching the message type of the time-based action rule, determining whether the timespan has expired for the message;
- and
- performing the action upon the message based upon the timespan expiring.
A computing device comprising:
- a processor;
- and
- memory comprising processor-executable instructions that when executed by the processor cause performance of operations comprising:
- defining time-based message action rules for a message account, wherein a time-based action rule specifies that an action is to be performed upon messages, having a message type, after expiration of a timespan;
- analyzing message content of a message associated with the message account to determine a detected message type of the message;
- in response to the detected message type of the message matching the message type of the time-based action rule, determining whether the timespan has expired for the message;
- and
- performing the action upon the message based upon the timespan expiring.
