Abstract

For a given user, a task database system associated with the user is queried to identify a list of tasks associated with the user. For each of the tasks, an email system associated with the user is queried to obtain one or more emails and calendar events associated with the task. An IM system associated with the user is queried to obtain IM messages of an IM channel of which the user is a member. The IM channel has been specifically created to exchange messages concerning the task amongst the members of the IM channel. The task is then determined whether it satisfies a predetermined state (e.g., inactive, lack of future meetings) in view of emails, calendar events, and IM messages associated with the task based on a set of rules. If the task is determined to satisfy the predetermined state, a notification message is transmitted to a preconfigured destination.
