A shared workflow operates over a plurality of execution environments associated with a content management system. A shared workflow is created in a first execution environment. The workflow is posted to a shared location. A particular workflow is selected from an exchange or other shared location and is thereafter configured to execute in a second execution environment. A computing module analyzes the workflow to identify environment-specific parameters. Based on a computer-generated recommendation emerging from the analysis, a user or a computing agent modifies the environment-specific parameter so as to configure the workflow prior to execution in the second execution environment. The first execution environment may correspond to a first department of an enterprise and the second execution environment may correspond to a second department of the same enterprise. Alternatively, the first execution environment may correspond to a first enterprise and the second execution environment may correspond to a second enterprise.

Cross-enterprise workflow adaptation

Methods, systems, and computer program products for gathering electronic signatures to be applied to collaboration system content objects (e.g., contracts, letters, insurance claims, riders, etc.). A collaboration system monitors changes made to the collaboration system content objects during electronic signature processing. A module of the content management system is configured to associate one or more instances of e-signing metadata to one or more of the stored content objects of the content management system. The e-signing metadata indicates whether or not a particular portion of the one or more of the stored content objects has been e-signed by a designated e-signatory. A collaborator who is not one of the designated e-signatories makes a change to one or more of the stored content objects (e.g., contracts, letters, insurance claims, riders, etc.). The change is remediated on-the-fly and the e-signing process continues without having to restart the e-signing process from the beginning.

Handling electronic signatures in collaboration systems

Methods, systems and computer program products for managing workflows between multiple third-party systems. A content management system stores a workflow that operates over content objects by invoking third-party applications. The content management system invokes these third-party applications, and these applications make modifications to the progression of the workflows as the third-party applications carry-out their specific portions of the workflow. Upon receipt of a workflow variable value from a first third-party application, the content management system determines the semantics of the workflow variable value and caries out a next portion of the workflow. The content management system then invokes a further next portion of the workflow to be carried out by a second third-party application. Upon receipt of a workflow variable value from the second third-party application, the content management system determines the semantics of the workflow variable value to then carry out yet a further portion of the workflow.

Workflow execution state variables

Techniques for onboarding users to various product features are described. According to various embodiments, information identifying a set of candidate onboarding content items associated with an email type of an email to be transmitted to a particular member of an online social network service is accessed. Thereafter, a first subset of the candidate onboarding content items is removed from the set, responsive to determining that the particular member has already been onboarded to products associated with the candidate onboarding content items in the first subset. Further, a second subset of the candidate onboarding content items is removed from the set, responsive to determining that the particular member has previously viewed and not interacted with the candidate onboarding content items in the second subset. A specific onboarding content item is then dynamically selected from the remaining set of candidate onboarding content items.
