When sharing events between users, the sharing users and the recipient users often have different relationships with details of the events. An event structurer enables sharing users to share events via a single user interface with recipients and tailor what aspects of the events are shared, thus ensuring the relevant portions of the events are properly presented to new recipients based on their new relationship with the event's details.

Sharing events with structured metadata

An action associated with an event detected within a communication is provided. A communication service initiates operations to provide the action by processing a communication to detect an event related to a transaction between a recipient and vendor. An action template is located that matches an event type and the vendor. A vendor service is queried to find the action template. An action is generated by populating the action template with an attribute of the event such as a recipient identifier and/or a transaction identifier. The action is provided to the recipient to facilitate an interaction related to the event with the vendor service.

Providing action associated with event detected within communication

User interaction efficiency is improved by providing automatic enrichment of content with contextually relevant information. While a user is utilizing a productivity application, the system may receive a content item, such as an email or calendar event, to display within an application user interface. The system analyzes and identifies contextually relevant information based on the content item. Thereafter, the system displays the application user interface including the content item which is modified to display the contextually relevant information within the content item.

Auto-enrichment of content

A travel or a promotion based recommendation is provided in association with a social graph of a recipient of a communication. A communication service initiates operations to provide the travel or promotion based recommendation by processing a content of a communication to identify a travel plan of a recipient or a promotion directed to a recipient. A detected shared attribute between the travel plan of the recipient and the travel plan of the acquaintance is assigned a relevancy score. The promotion is processed to determine a trend of the promotion with an acquaintance at a social networking site and an accuracy of the promotion. The shared attribute or the promotion is provided to the recipient.

Providing travel or promotion based recommendation associated with social graph

An e-mail system is running with a first synchronization mechanism synchronizing first application data between a service and a client computing system. A second synchronization mechanism synchronizes second application data between the service and the client computing system, using a second protocol. When a given proportion of the application data has been synchronized by the second synchronization mechanism, the application is controlled to use the second application data synchronized according to the second protocol.
