Abstract

A method for a communication platform includes receiving configuration data associated with an account, the configuration data identifying a plurality of communication endpoints of a plurality of users to receive messages of the entity. The method also includes receiving a request associated with the account of the entity to transmit one or more messages of the entity to a set of communication endpoints of the plurality of communication endpoints, and identifying, based on the request, one or more orchestration rules of the plurality of orchestration rules. The method further includes determining, based on the configuration data associated with the account of the entity and the one or more orchestration rules, parameters for delivering the one or more messages to the set of communication endpoints, and transmitting the one or more messages to communication endpoints in the set of communication endpoints according to the determined parameters.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A method comprising:
receiving, by a communication platform, configuration data associated with an account of an entity, the configuration data identifying a plurality of communication endpoints of a plurality of users to receive messages of the entity;
receiving, by the communication platform, a request associated with the account of the entity to transmit one or more messages of the entity to a set of communication endpoints of the plurality of communication endpoints;
identifying, based on the request, one or more orchestration rules of a plurality of orchestration rules;
determining, based on the configuration data associated with the account of the entity and the one or more orchestration rules, parameters for delivering the one or more messages of the entity to the set of communication endpoints; and
transmitting the one or more messages of the entity to communication endpoints in the set of communication endpoints according to the determined parameters.

2. The method of claim 1 wherein the one or more orchestration rules are identified in the configuration data associated with the account of the entity and are selected based on the request.

3. The method of claim 1 wherein the one or more orchestration rules require that messages of the entity be transmitted to one or more secondary communication endpoints if delivery of the messages to one or more of the plurality of communication endpoints identified in the configuration data associated with the account of the entity fails.

4. The method of claim 1 wherein the one or more orchestration rules require that messages of the entity be transmitted during one or more specified time windows.

5. The method of claim 1 wherein the one or more orchestration rules require that messages of the entity be transmitted using a plurality of communication channels.

6. The method of claim 5 wherein the plurality of communication channels are identified in the configuration data associated with the account of the entity.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the request includes a first tag from a set of tags, the first tag identifying the communication endpoints in the set of communication endpoints to which the messages are to be transmitted.

8. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
receiving a delivery status from at least one communication endpoint to which a message was transmitted, the delivery status indicating whether the message was received by the at least one communication endpoint.

9. The method of claim 1 , wherein transmitting messages to communication endpoints in the set of communication endpoints comprises:
transmitting an asynchronous message to a first communication endpoint in the set of communication endpoints.

10. The method of claim 1 , wherein the configuration data is received from an external resource, and wherein the request comprises an identifier for the external resource.

11. A system for a communication platform, the system comprising:
a memory; and
one or more computer processors, coupled to the memory, to perform operations comprising:
receiving configuration data associated with an account of an entity, the configuration data identifying a plurality of communication endpoints of a plurality of users to receive messages of the entity;
receiving a request associated with the account of the entity to transmit one or more messages of the entity to a set of communication endpoints of the plurality of communication endpoints;
identifying, based on the request, one or more orchestration rules of a plurality of orchestration rules;
determining, based on the configuration data associated with the account of the entity and the one or more orchestration rules, parameters for delivering the one or more messages of the entity to the set of communication endpoints; and
transmitting the one or more messages of the entity to communication endpoints in the set of communication endpoints according to the determined parameters.

12. The system of claim 11 wherein the one or more orchestration rules are identified in the configuration data associated with the account of the entity and are selected based on the request.

13. The system of claim 11 wherein the one or more orchestration rules require that messages of the entity be transmitted to one or more secondary communication endpoints if delivery of the messages to one or more of the plurality of communication endpoints identified in the configuration data associated with the account of the entity fails.

14. The system of claim 11 wherein the one or more orchestration rules require that messages of the entity be transmitted during one or more specified time windows.

15. The system of claim 11 wherein the one or more orchestration rules require that messages of the entity be transmitted using a plurality of communication channels.

16. The system of claim 15 wherein the plurality of communication channels are identified in the configuration data associated with the account of the entity.

17. The system of claim 11 wherein the one or more orchestration rules require that messages of the entity be transmitted during one or more specified time windows.

18. A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions that, when executed by one or more processors of a communication platform, cause the one or more processors to perform operations comprising:
receiving configuration data associated with an account of an entity, the configuration data identifying a plurality of communication endpoints of a plurality of users to receive messages of the entity;
receiving a request associated with the account of the entity to transmit one or more messages of the entity to a set of communication endpoints of the plurality of communication endpoints;
identifying, based on the request, one or more orchestration rules of plurality of orchestration rules;
determining, based on the configuration data associated with the account of the entity and the one or more orchestration rules, parameters for delivering the one or more messages of the entity to the set of communication endpoints; and
transmitting the one or more messages of the entity to communication endpoints in the set of communication endpoints according to the determined parameters.

19. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 18 wherein the one or more orchestration rules are identified in the configuration data associated with the account of the entity and are selected based on the request.

20. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 18 wherein the one or more orchestration rules require that messages of the entity be transmitted to one or more secondary communication endpoints if delivery of the messages to one or more of the plurality of communication endpoints identified in the configuration data associated with the account of the entity fails.
