Abstract
Generating a token for tracking a state of communications with multiple external services. Data is caused to be acquired from external services as a result of interpreting a communication from a client. The causing of the data to be acquired comprises causing a request to be issued for data from a first external service and receiving a response from the first external service. The response from the first external service includes at least a token associated with the first external service. In response to receiving the response from the first external service, an aggregate token is generated that includes the token associated with the first external service and a status of the request to the first external service. The aggregate token is caused to be sent to the client and is interpretable to inform the computer system of the status of the request to the first external service.
