Abstract

Disclosed are systems, apparatus, methods, and computer-readable storage media for providing alerts in an online social network. In some implementations, the online social network is specific to an organization having one or more internal users and one or more external users. An indication of an action associated with providing data to the online social network is received from a computing device. A group associated with the indication of the action is identified. It is determined that the identified group includes the one or more external users. Responsive to determining that the identified group includes the one or more external users, an instruction to display an alert notification is provided at the computing device.
