Split transcript view for business object integration into messaging
View Patent ↗Embodiments of the present invention address deficiencies of the art in respect to messaging and provide a method, system and computer program product for business object integration with messaging. In an embodiment of the invention, a method for messaging integration of a business object can be provided. The method can include embedding a business object in message text in a chat session provided by a messenger, and applying an action to the business object from within the messaging session of the instant messenger. The method further can include generating a message transcript for the messaging session with a split view of the message text and the business object and applied action.
1. A computer-implemented method for messaging integration of a business object, comprising:
displaying, by a messenger, message text within a messaging session;
embedding, within the messaging session, the business object in the message text;
performing, from within the messenger, an action to the business object; and
generating a message transcript for the messaging session, wherein
the message transcript is a split view including the message text and the business object.
2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
identifying a verb in the message text in association with a pronoun referencing the business object; and
providing a context menu for the business object in the messaging session with entries in the context menu limited according to the identified verb.
3. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
forwarding a copy of the message text to a backend business component as a justification to the applied action.
4. The method of claim 1 , wherein
the business object is coupled to a backend component.
5. The method of claim 1 , wherein
the messenger is one of an instant messenger, an-email messenger, a discussion forum environment, or a shared document library environment.
6. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
providing a context menu for the business object.
7. A computer hardware system for messaging integration of a business object, comprising:
at least one processor, wherein the at least one processor is configured to initiate and/or perform:
displaying, by a messenger, message text within a messaging session;
embedding, within the messaging session, the business object in the message text;
performing, from within the messenger, an action to the business object; and
generating a message transcript for the messaging session, wherein
the message transcript is a split view including the message text and the business object.
8. The system of claim 7 , wherein the at least one processor is further configured to initiate and/or perform:
identifying a verb in the message text in association with a pronoun referencing the business object; and
providing a context menu for the business object in the messaging session with entries in the context menu limited according to the identified verb.
9. The system of claim 7 , wherein the at least one processor is further configured to initiate and/or perform:
forwarding a copy of the message text to a backend business component as a justification to the applied action.
10. The system of claim 7 , wherein
the business object is coupled to a backend component.
11. The system of claim 7 , wherein
the messenger is one of an instant messenger, an-email messenger, a discussion forum environment, or a shared document library environment.
12. The system of claim 7 , wherein the at least one processor is further configured to initiate and/or perform:
providing a context menu for the business object.
13. A computer program product, comprising:
a computer readable storage medium having stored therein computer readable program code for messaging integration of a business object, the computer readable program code, which when executed by a computer hardware system, causes the computer hardware system to perform:
displaying, by a messenger, message text within a messaging session;
embedding, within the messaging session, the business object in the message text;
performing, from within the messenger, an action to the business object; and
generating a message transcript for the messaging session, wherein
the message transcript is a split view including the message text and the business object, and
the computer readable storage medium is not a transitory, propagating signal per se.
14. The computer program product of claim 13 , wherein the computer readable program code further causes the computer hardware system to perform:
identifying a verb in the message text in association with a pronoun referencing the business object; and
providing a context menu for the business object in the messaging session with entries in the context menu limited according to the identified verb.
15. The computer program product of claim 13 , wherein the computer readable program code further causes the computer hardware system to perform:
forwarding a copy of the message text to a backend business component as a justification to the applied action.
16. The computer program product of claim 13 , wherein
the business object is coupled to a backend component.
17. The computer program product of claim 13 , wherein
the messenger is one of an instant messenger, an-email messenger, a discussion forum environment, or a shared document library environment.
18. The computer program product of claim 13 , wherein the computer readable program code further causes the computer hardware system to perform:
providing a context menu for the business object.
