Abstract
An approach for unfiltering a filtered electronic communication is provided. In one aspect, a computer system receives filtered electronic communication, wherein the filtered electronic communication is a status message. Moreover, the computer system determines a requestor of the filtered electronic communication. The computer system also detects an attempt made to communicate with the requestor. Furthermore, the computer system unfilters, in response to the attempt, the filtered electronic communication.
Claims20
A method comprising the steps of:
- filtering an electronic communication, wherein the filtered electronic communication is filtered by a requester;
- determining the requestor of the filtered electronic communication;
- detecting an attempt of communication with the requestor;
- and
- unfiltering the electronic filtered communication based on the detection, wherein the unfiltered filtered electronic communication is visible to at least one responder.
A computer system for unfiltering a filtered electronic communication, the computer system comprising:
- one or more processors, one or more computer-readable memories, one or more computer-readable tangible storage devices and program instructions which are stored on at least one of the one or more storage devices for execution by at least one of the one or more processors via at least one of the one or more memories, the program instructions comprising:
- program instruction to filter an electronic communication, wherein the filtered electronic communication is filtered by a requester;
- program instructions to determine a requestor of the filtered electronic communication;
- program instructions to detect an attempt of communication with the requestor;
- and
- program instructions to unfilter the filtered electronic communication based on the detection, wherein the unfiltered filtered electronic communication is visible to at least one responder.
A computer program product for unfiltering a filtered electronic communication, the program product comprising:
- one or more processors, one or more computer-readable memories, one or more computer-readable tangible storage devices and program instructions which are stored on at least one of the one or more storage devices for execution by at least one of the one or more processors via at least one of the one or more memories, the program instructions comprising:
- program instruction to filter an electronic communication, wherein the filtered electronic communication is filtered by a requester;
- program instructions to determine a requestor of the filtered electronic communication;
- program instructions to detect an attempt of communication with the requestor;
- and
- program instructions to unfilter the filtered electronic communication based on the detection, wherein the unfiltered filtered electronic communication is visible to at least one responder.
