Abstract
A messaging server that concurrently provides a business or other recipient with a message sent to the recipient and the set of entities detected within the message using natural language processing (NLP). A business interacts with the messaging server to specify the types of NLP to perform on messages received by the business. The messaging server creates a configuration token describing the specified NLP configuration. The messaging server receives a message sent from a client to the business and generates a payload describing the message and including the configuration token. The messaging server then sends the payload to a NLP server. The NLP server performs NLP on the message in the payload according to the configuration specified by the token to detect a set of entities. The messaging server forms an enriched payload including the message and detected entities and forwards the enriched payload to the business.
