Abstract

Systems, methods, and computer-readable media for automatically altering information within an electronic document based on an externally detected occurrence are disclosed. The systems and methods may involve accessing an electronic word processing document; displaying an interface presenting at least one tool for enabling an author of the electronic word processing document to define an electronic rule triggered by an external network-based occurrence; receiving, in association with the electronic rule, a conditional instruction to edit the electronic word processing document in response to the network-based occurrence; detecting the external network-based occurrence; and in response to the detection of the external network-based occurrence, implementing the conditional instruction and thereby automatically edit the electronic word processing document.
