Abstract
One embodiment of the present invention sets forth a technique for generating a status update message. The method involves defining one or more status update criteria and monitoring user activity in a software application for the one or more status update criteria. The method further involves determining, based on the user activity, that the one or more status update criteria have been met and generating, via a processing unit, a status update message. The status update message includes multimedia content related to a project associated with the software application.
Claims20
A computer-implemented method for generating a status update message, the method comprising:
- defining one or more status update criteria;
- monitoring user activity in a software application for the one or more status update criteria;
- based on the user activity, determining that the one or more status update criteria have been met;
- and
- generating, via a processing unit, a status update message,
- wherein the status update message comprises multimedia content related to a project associated with the software application.
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium including instructions that, when executed by a processing unit, cause the processing unit to generating a status update message, by performing the steps of:
- defining one or more status update criteria;
- monitoring user activity in a software application for the one or more status update criteria;
- based on the user activity, determining that the one or more status update criteria have been met;
- and
- generating, via a processing unit, a status update message,
- wherein the status update message comprises multimedia content related to a project associated with the software application.
A computing device, comprising:
- a memory;
- and
- a processing unit coupled to the memory, configured to:
- define one or more status update criteria;
- monitor user activity in a software application for the one or more status update criteria;
- based on the user activity, determine that the one or more status update criteria have been met;
- and
- generate, via a processing unit, a status update message,
- wherein the status update message comprises multimedia content related to a project associated with the software application.
