Abstract

A message reminder system, to perform operations that include: causing display of a presentation of a message addressed to a user, at a first position among a message feed of the user at a client device; receiving a request to open the message from the user of the client device, the request including a timestamp; detecting a trigger event based on at least the timestamp of the request to open the message, the trigger event comprising event attributes; generating a notification to be applied to the presentation of the message, the notification based on at least the event attributes of the trigger event; moving the presentation of the message from the first position among the message feed to a second position among the message feed; and applying the notification to the presentation of the message.

Claims (65)

1. A method comprising:

causing display of a presentation of a message at a first position among a message feed at a client device, the message comprising an identifier associated with a sender of the message;

receiving a request to open the message from the client device, the request including a timestamp;

detecting a trigger event based on at least the timestamp of the request to open the message, the trigger event comprising event attributes;

accessing an avatar associated with the sender of the message, the avatar comprising a plurality of graphical elements;

configuring the plurality of graphical elements of the avatar based on the event attributes of the trigger event;

generating a notification that includes a display of the avatar based on the configuring the plurality of the graphical elements of the avatar based on at least the event attributes of the trigger event;

moving the presentation of the message from the first position among the message feed to a second position among the message feed; and

applying the notification to the presentation of the message.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the message comprises message content, and the detecting the trigger event includes:

identifying a trigger criteria within the message content of the message; and

determining a period of time from the request to open the message transgresses a threshold value based on the timestamp.

3. The method of claim 2 , wherein the message content comprises a text string, and the trigger criteria includes a glyph within the text string.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the message comprises message content, the message content including a word count, and the detecting the trigger event includes:

determining the word count of the message transgresses a threshold value; and

determining a threshold period of time from the request to open the message has passed based on the timestamp.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the method further comprises:

receiving an input that dismisses the notification; and

moving the presentation of the message from the second position among the message feed to the first position among the message feed.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the detecting the trigger event includes:

causing the client device to initiate loading message content of the message in response to the request to open the message; and

detecting an error responsive to the causing the client device to initiate the loading the message content.

7. A system comprising:

a memory; and

at least one hardware processor coupled to the memory and comprising instructions that causes the system to perform operations comprising:

causing display of a presentation of a message at a first position among a message feed at a client device, the message comprising an identifier associated with a sender of the message;

receiving a request to open the message from the client device, the request including a timestamp;

detecting a trigger event based on at least the timestamp of the request to open the message, the trigger event comprising event attributes;

accessing an avatar associated with the sender of the message, the avatar comprising a plurality of graphical elements;

configuring the plurality of graphical elements of the avatar based on the event attributes of the trigger event;

generating a notification that includes a display of the avatar based on the configuring the plurality of the graphical elements of the avatar based on at least the event attributes of the trigger event;

moving the presentation of the message from the first position among the message feed to a second position among the message feed; and

applying the notification to the presentation of the message.

8. The system of claim 7 , wherein the message comprises message content, and the detecting the trigger event includes:

identifying a trigger criteria within the message content of the message; and

determining a period of time from the request to open the message transgresses a threshold value based on the timestamp.

9. The system of claim 8 , wherein the message content comprises a text string, and the trigger criteria includes a glyph within the text string.

10. The system of claim 7 , wherein the message comprises message content, the message content including a word count, and the detecting the trigger event includes:

determining the word count of the message transgresses a threshold value; and

determining a threshold period of time from the request to open the message has passed based on the timestamp.

11. The system of claim 7 , wherein the operations further comprise:

receiving an input that dismisses the notification; and

moving the presentation of the message from the second position among the message feed to the first position among the message feed.

12. The system of claim 7 , wherein the detecting the trigger event includes:

causing the client device to initiate loading message content of the message in response to the request to open the message; and

detecting an error responsive to the causing the client device to initiate the loading the message content.

13. A non-transitory machine-readable storage medium comprising instructions that, when executed by one or more processors of a machine, cause the machine to perform operations comprising:

causing display of a presentation of a message at a first position among a message feed at a client device, the message comprising an identifier associated with a sender of the message;

receiving a request to open the message from the client device, the request including a timestamp;

detecting a trigger event based on at least the timestamp of the request to open the message, the trigger event comprising event attributes;

accessing an avatar associated with the sender of the message, the avatar comprising a plurality of graphical elements;

configuring the plurality of graphical elements of the avatar based on the event attributes of the trigger event;

generating a notification that includes a display of the avatar based on the configuring the plurality of the graphical elements of the avatar based on at least the event attributes of the trigger event;

moving the presentation of the message from the first position among the message feed to a second position among the message feed; and

applying the notification to the presentation of the message.

14. The non-transitory machine-readable storage medium of claim 13 , wherein the message comprises message content, and the detecting the trigger event includes:

identifying a trigger criteria within the message content of the message; and

determining a period of time from the request to open the message transgresses a threshold value based on the timestamp.

15. The non-transitory machine-readable storage medium of claim 14 , wherein the message content comprises a text string, and the trigger criteria includes a glyph within the text string.

16. The non-transitory machine-readable storage medium of claim 13 , wherein the message comprises message content, the message content including a word count, and the detecting the trigger event includes:

determining the word count of the message transgresses a threshold value; and

determining a threshold period of time from the request to open the message has passed based on the timestamp.

17. The non-transitory machine-readable storage medium of claim 13 , wherein the operations further comprise:

receiving an input that dismisses the notification; and

moving the presentation of the message from the second position among the message feed to the first position among the message feed.
