Abstract

The present disclosure relates to systems and methods for updating email addresses based on email generation patterns. The method includes accessing a plurality of electronic activities used to update a plurality of member node profiles. The method includes determining that the plurality of member node profiles is linked to a group node profile of a group entity. The methods includes identifying, for each of the plurality of member node profiles, a first field-value pair of the member node profile corresponding to an email address. The method includes determining, for each member node profile, a correlation between the email address, a second field-value pair corresponding to a first name and a third field-value pair corresponding to a last name. The method includes determining, based on the determined correlation, an electronic account identifier pattern. The method includes storing an association between the group node and the electronic account identifier pattern.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A method comprising:
maintaining, by one or more processors, a plurality of member node profiles corresponding to a plurality of unique member entities, each member node profile including a plurality of field-value pairs;
accessing, by the one or more processors, data of a first plurality of electronic activities transmitted or received via electronic accounts associated with one or more data source providers, the first plurality of electronic activities used to update the plurality of member node profiles;
determining, by the one or more processors, for a group entity, a set of member node profiles of the plurality of member node profiles linked to a group node profile of the group entity;
identifying, by the one or more processors, for each member node profile of the set of member node profiles, a first field-value pair of the member node profile corresponding to a first electronic account identifier of the member node profile, the first electronic account identifier identifying a first address via which electronic activities of the first plurality of electronic activities are transmitted from or received by a first electronic account of the member node profile;
comparing determining, by the one or more processors, for each member node profile of the set of member node profiles, a correlation between a first character string generated from a first value of the first field-value pair corresponding to the first electronic account identifier of the member node profile with a second character string of a second field-value pair corresponding to a first name of the member node profile, and a third character string of a third field-value pair corresponding to a last name of the member node profile to determine a correlation between the first field-value pair, the second field-value pair and the third field-value pair;
determining, by the one or more processors, based on the determined correlation, a first electronic account identifier pattern according to which electronic account identifiers for member entities belonging to the group entity are generated;
storing, by the one or more processors, in one or more data structures, a first association between the group entity and the first electronic account identifier pattern;
accessing, by the one or more processors, data from a second plurality of electronic activities, each of the second plurality of electronic activities transmitted or received after the first plurality of electronic activities and each electronic activity of the second plurality of electronic activities including a respective second electronic account identifier different from a respective first electronic account identifier of respective member node profiles of the set of member node profiles;
matching, by the one or more processors, for each electronic activity of the second plurality of electronic activities, the electronic activity with a respective member node profile of the first set of member node profiles by comparing data included in the electronic activity with one or more field-value pairs of the respective member node profile and updating, by the one or more processors, the respective member node profile to include the respective second electronic account identifier identified in the electronic activity;
determining, by the one or more processors, for each member node profile of a first subset of the set of member node profiles, that the member node profile includes a first field-value pair identifying a respective second electronic account identifier of the member node profile, each respective second electronic account identifier identifying a second address via which electronic activities of the plurality of electronic activities are transmitted from or received by a second electronic account of the member node profile;
generating, by the one or more processors, responsive to determining that a count of member node profiles that are updated satisfies a threshold number, from the member node profiles of the set of member node profiles that are updated to include corresponding second electronic account identifiers, a second electronic account identifier pattern based on the corresponding respective second electronic account identifiers of the member node profiles that are updated of the first subset, the second electronic account identifier pattern including a domain different than the first electronic account identifier pattern;
storing, by the one or more processors, in the one or more data structures, a second association between the second electronic account identifier pattern and the group entity;
identifying, by the one or more processors responsive to storing the second association, a second member node profile corresponding to a second member entity that belongs to the group entity that does not include any field-value pair identifying an electronic account identifier that matches the second electronic account identifier pattern;
generating, by the one or more processors, for the second member node profile, a new electronic account identifier based on the second electronic account identifier pattern by applying, as input to the second account identifier pattern, at least one field-value pair of the second member node profile; and
updating, by the one or more processors, the second member node profile to include a field-value pair identifying the new electronic account identifier.

2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
accessing, by the one or more processors, data of a second electronic activity identifying a second electronic account identifier;
determining, by the one or more processors, that the second electronic account identifier corresponds to the group entity; and
determining, by the one or more processors, at least one of a first name associated with the second electronic account identifier or a last name associated with the second electronic account identifier based on the first electronic account identifier pattern of the group entity.

3. The method of claim 2 , further comprising:
generating, by the one or more processors, for the second electronic activity, a first activity field-value pair identifying the new electronic account identifier;
generating, by the one or more processors, for the second electronic activity, a second activity field-value pair identifying the first name or the last name determined from the new electronic account identifier; and
matching, by the one or more processors, the second electronic activity to a member node profile of the plurality of member node profiles based on comparing the second activity field-value pair to a corresponding node field-value pair of the member node profile.

4. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
generating, by the one or more processors, for a member node profile of the plurality of member node profiles that is linked to the group node profile, a first value corresponding to a second field of the member node profile corresponding to the first name or a second value corresponding to a third field of the member node profile corresponding to the last name by using the first electronic account identifier pattern on the respective first electronic account identifier stored as a value in a first field of the member node profile corresponding to the first electronic account identifier of the member node profile.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein determining, for the group entity, the plurality of member node profiles linked to the group entity comprising:
identifying, by the one or more processors, for a member node profile, a value of a company name field of the member node profile; and
determining, by the one or more processors, that the value of the company name field of the member node profile matches a value of a corresponding company name field of the group node pro
