METHODS FOR REAL-TIME NOTIFICATIONS IN AN ACTIVITY STREAM

A method includes providing, by a server computer, a shared workspace for facilitating collaborative work by a plurality of users with respect to a plurality of shared-access objects; obtaining real-time activity information describing ongoing actions currently being performed with respect to one or more of the shared-access objects; determining, based at least in part on the real-time activity information, whether a real-time notification rule is satisfied; outputting, for display in an activity stream and in response to determining that the real-time notification rule is satisfied, a real-time notification; and removing, from display in the activity stream, the real-time notification upon determining that the real-time notification rule is no longer satisfied.
