Generating a token for tracking a state of communications with multiple external services. Data is caused to be acquired from external services as a result of interpreting a communication from a client. The causing of the data to be acquired comprises causing a request to be issued for data from a first external service and receiving a response from the first external service. The response from the first external service includes at least a token associated with the first external service. In response to receiving the response from the first external service, an aggregate token is generated that includes the token associated with the first external service and a status of the request to the first external service. The aggregate token is caused to be sent to the client and is interpretable to inform the computer system of the status of the request to the first external service.

Stateful tokens for communicating with external services

Customization of persisted notifications, in which when a subject event happens, a notification is persisted. For instance, customization may be according to language, style, or other user preference. This may be particularly useful in situations in which a single user may change styles, user preferences, or even languages; or in which an application that generated the notifications is to be shared amongst various diverse users. For instance, one user may prefer notifications in English&#x2014;another may prefer notifications in French but be blind, another may prefer Mandarin when she is in a non-English speaking country but English when she is in an English speaking country. The principles described herein allow flexible customizations and localizations of persistent notifications without having to translate every notification into every possible language, or persist the notification according to every possible style or user preference.

Persistent notification customization

Described herein are various technologies pertaining an extensible, cloud-based service for creating and executing applications (e.g., business or industry-specific workflows). A user knowledgeable about a particular field can utilize a client-hosted design studio or a web-based portal to create an application ('app') (e.g., data transform) relevant to the particular field. The system thus enables users to build mobile applications across platforms without having to write computer code to communicate with backend services such as data sources and/or workflow management systems.

Application service architecture

Sharing a bundle. A method includes identifying a bundle defined by a first user. The bundle includes a number of portions. One or more portions are configured to provide data from a data source. The method further includes identifying within the bundle one or more portions of the bundle that can be changed when the bundle is consumed by other users. The method further includes modifying the identified portions before the bundle is consumed by other users.

Sharing applications by modifying attributes
