NOTIFICATIONS OF EVENTS OF A SYSTEM OF RECORD
Techniques for notifying users of events for objects in a system of record are described. A request to generate the event is received. The event is indicative of a modification of an object. The event is recorded in a timeline table for a timeline of the object. Based on the modified object in the timeline table and a user table, one or more users may be identified. Further, the event is classified to determine a notification type of the one or more users from the user table. All interested users are selected from the one or more users and notified of the event. In an example, the system automatically subscribes users to receive notification of the occurrence of an event for the object. In an example, the one or more users may request to stop receiving the notification of the occurrence of the event for the object.
1 . A system to notify an event for one or more objects deployed in a connected environment having a plurality of distinct ecosystems, the system comprising:
a processor to:
receive a request from a user to generate the event, wherein the event is indicative of a modification of an object deployed in the connected environment;
process the request for the modification of the object to obtain a modified object;
record the event in a timeline database for a timeline of the object, wherein the event is recorded in the timeline database in a timeline table, the event being recorded with attributes comprising an object identifier, a timestamp, a user identifier, and an event type;
publish the timeline table with the modified object for the user;
update the event in a user table, the event being recorded with attributes comprising an object identifier, a user identifier, a notification type, and a frozen flag;
identify one or more linked users based on the modified object in the timeline table and the user table, wherein the one or more linked users include at least one of a user referenced in the modified object and a user subscribed to receive a notification of an occurrence of the event for the object;
determine the notification type of the one or more linked users in the user table, wherein the notification type indicates a user preference to receive the notification of the occurrence of the event for the object; and
select a user from the one or more linked users based on the user preference; and
notify the selected user of the event.
