Abstract

A method, computer program product, and system for providing notifications regarding electronic meetings is described. A set of one or more invitees for an online meeting is received, the set including a first invitee. A first status of the first invitee is identified, the first status indicating unavailability with respect to the electronic meeting. A change in status of the first invitee, after the end of the electronic meeting, to a second status indicating availability with respect to the electronic meeting is identified. A notification of the meeting is provided to the first invitee, based upon, at least in part, identifying the change in status.

1. A computer-implemented method comprising:

receiving, by one or more computing devices, a set of one or more invitees for an electronic meeting, the set of one or more invitees including a first invitee to receive an invitation for the electronic meeting;

identifying, by the one or more computing devices, a first status of the first invitee that indicates an inability for the first invitee to view the invitation for the electronic meeting via a communication application, wherein the first status is associated with an Instant Messaging application as the communication application;

identifying, by the one or more computing devices, a change in Instant Messaging status of the first invitee, after the end of the electronic meeting, to a second status that indicates an ability for the first invitee to view the invitation for the electronic meeting via the communication application;

providing, by the one or more computing devices, a notification of the electronic meeting to the first invitee after the end of the electronic meeting, based upon, at least in part, identifying the change in Instant Messaging status to the second status indicating the ability for the first invitee to view the invitation via the communication application, the notification provided to the first invitee via the communication application automatically based upon identifying the change in Instant Messaging status to the second status, the notification including a user interface feature for requesting a communication connection with an administrator of the electronic meeting; and

establishing a communication channel between the first user and the administrator in response to the first user invoking an action relative to the user interface feature.

2. The computer-implemented method of claim 1 wherein the electronic meeting includes a text-based chat session.

3. The computer-implemented method of claim 2 wherein the notification includes summary information associated with the electronic meeting.

4. The computer-implemented method of claim 2 further comprising:

providing one or more files associated with the electronic meeting to the first invitee, based upon, at least in part, identifying the change in status of the first invitee.

identifying a first status of the first invitee that indicates an inability for the first invitee to view the invitation for the electronic meeting via a communication application, wherein the first status is associated with an Instant Messaging application as the communication application;

identifying a change in Instant Messaging status of the first invitee, after the end of the electronic meeting, to a second status that indicates an ability for the first invitee to view the invitation for the electronic meeting via the communication application;

providing a notification of the electronic meeting to the first invitee after the end of the electronic meeting, based upon, at least in part, identifying the change in Instant Messaging status to the second status indicating the ability for the first invitee to view the invitation via the communication application, the notification provided to the first invitee via the communication application automatically based upon identifying the change in Instant Messaging status to the second status, the notification including a user interface feature for requesting a communication connection with an administrator of the electronic meeting; and

establishing a communication channel between the first user and the administrator in response to the first user invoking an action relative to the user interface feature.

9. The computer program product of claim 8 wherein the electronic meeting includes a text-based chat session.

10. The computer program product of claim 9 wherein the notification includes summary information associated with the electronic meeting.

11. The computer program product of claim 9 wherein the operations further comprise:

14. The computer program product of claim 8 wherein the first status that indicates the inability for the first invitee to view the invitation for the electronic meeting via the communication application is identified during at least one of when the invitation is sent to the first invitee and when the electronic meeting commences.

15. A computer system comprising:

one or more processor devices; and

one or more memory architectures coupled with the one or more processor devices;

wherein the one or more processor devices are configured to:
