Abstract
A method includes receiving, in a first networking platform, an electronic message directed from a first party to a workflow to a second party of the workflow. The method also includes identifying a document attached to the electronic message as relevant to the workflow, and identifying at least a portion of a text content in the electronic message as relevant to the workflow. The method also includes updating the workflow associated with the workflow based on the document attached to the electronic message, when the second party provides the input and storing the document attached to the electronic message in a database, as a new version of the workflow. A system and a non-transitory, computer-readable medium storing instructions to perform the above method are also provided.
