1. A system comprising:
- a processor programmed to initiate executable operations comprising;
determining a partial availability status of a user during an event according to a level of participation of the user in the event, the partial availability status indicating whether the user, at a time associated with the partial availability status, is available to interact with a different user through at least one electronic communication channel not being used for the event, determining the level of participation of the user in the event comprising determining whether electronic communications sent or received by a client device of the user during the event relates to the event by performing natural language processing and semantic analysis on the electronic communications sent or received by the client device of the user;
automatically updating an availability status of the user based on the determined partial availability status of the user;
receiving a first incoming communication through the at least one electronic communication channel not being used for the event; and
responsive to the partial availability status indicating that the user is engaged in the event but not an active participant in the event, wherein whether the user is an active participant in the event is determined by comparing the level of participation of the user in the event to a threshold, and responsive to receiving the first incoming communication through the at least one electronic communication channel not being used for the event, accepting the first incoming communication.

8. A computer program product comprising a computer readable storage medium having program code stored thereon, the program code executable by a processor to perform a method comprising:
-
determining, using the processor, a partial availability status of a user during an event according to a level of participation of the user in the event, the partial availability status indicating whether the user, at a time associated with the partial availability status, is available to interact with a different user through at least one electronic communication channel not being used for the event, determining the level of participation of the user in the event comprising determining whether electronic communications sent or received by a client device of the user during the event relates to the event by performing natural language processing and semantic analysis on the electronic communications sent or received by the client device of the user; automatically updating, using the processor, an availability status of the user based on the determined partial availability status of the user; receiving a first incoming communication through the at least one electronic communication channel not being used for the event; and responsive to the partial availability status indicating that the user is engaged in the event but not an active participant in the event, wherein whether the user is an active participant in the event is determined by comparing the level of participation of the user in the event to a threshold, and responsive to receiving the first incoming communication through the at least one electronic communication channel not being used for the event, accepting the first incoming communication. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 12, 13, 14)
