In some implementations, a method includes receiving user input indicating a request to create a task and presenting a visual representation of the task. The method can also include receiving user input indicating an assignment of the task to an assignee, sending, to a second application, a first notification indicating the task and the assignment of the task to the assignee. It can further include receiving, from the second application, a second notification indicative of a change to a status of the task, and modifying the visual representation of the task to graphically illustrate the change in the status of the task in the user interface of the first application.

Embedded tasks in collaborative productivity suite

In an implementation, a method includes causing a source application data object to be embedded in a host application file and recording information associated with the source application data object in a common data store. It further includes identifying a modification made to the embedded source application data object, sending a notification to the source application to update a corresponding source copy of the source application data object based on the modification made to the embedded source application data object, and recording the modification in the common data store. The method also includes identifying a change made to the source copy of the source application data object, and causing the host application to update the embedded source application data object in the host application data store according to access permissions of the host application file, and recording the change in the common data store.
