Abstract
A platform and end user interface are provided as part of a contextual communications framework for enabling developers to add context to conversations before they start or as they occur. The context may be consumed through a communication application user interface or through an application associated with a contextual document or file. The exchanged context and any updates to it may be stored following the conversation such that subsequent continuations of the conversation may be provided with the updated context.
