Computer-implemented methods and systems of automatically generating and storing tasks for messaging applications

摘要

Embodiments generally relate to a computer-implemented method and system of automatically generating a task on a first messaging application at a first client device associated with a first user. The method includes: parsing, by the first client device, message content from an active field on the first messaging application of the first client device to identify at least one predefined character in the message content; and receiving, in relation to the message content, a selection of a user name associated with a second user. Task metadata may be automatically generated based on at least the first user, second user and a portion of the message content. The task metadata may then be attached, by the first client device, to the message content. First task data based on the task metadata may then be automatically generated at the first client device.
