1. A computer system comprising:
- a processors;
a memory device coupled to the processor and holding an instruction set executable on the processor to cause the computer system to perform operations comprising;
detecting, by an alert manager application, receipt of a message including a selectable functionality for accessing an external resource, and message data indicative of a source of the message;
predicting, by the alert manager application, an action time range during which a recipient of the message is likely to operate the selectable functionality, wherein the predicted action time range is measured from when the recipient accesses the message or from when a particular input pattern occurs;
generating, by the alert manager application and within the predicted action time range, a visual message alert feature; and
causing, by the alert manager application, the visual message alert feature to be presented on a display of the computer system during the predicted action time range.

Abstract
Example methods and systems directed to an Alert Manager are described. According to various embodiments, the Alert Manager detects receipt of a message. The message includes a selectable functionality for accessing an external resource and message data indicative of a source of the message. The Alert Manager predicts when a recipient of the message will interact with the selectable functionality. Prior to the recipient'"'"'s predicted interaction with the selectable functionality, the Alert Manager generates a message alert feature based on a degree of a difference between the external resource and the source of the message.

8. A method comprising:
-
detecting, by one or more processors of a machine, receipt of a message including a selectable functionality for accessing an external resource, and message data indicative of a source of the message; predicting, by the one or more processors of the machine, an action time range during which a recipient of the message is likely to operate the selectable functionality, wherein the predicted action time range is measured from when the recipient accesses the message or from when a particular input pattern occurs; generating, by the one or more processors of the machine and within the predicted action time range, a visual message alert feature; and causing, by the one or more processors of the machine, the visual message alert feature to be presented on a display of the computer system during the predicted action time range. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14)

15. A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing executable instructions thereon that, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to perform operations including:
-
detecting receipt of a message including a selectable functionality for accessing an external resource, and message data indicative of a source of the message; predicting an action time range during which a recipient of the message is likely to operate the selectable functionality, wherein the predicted action time range is measured from when the recipient accesses the message or from when a particular input pattern occurs; generating, within the predicted action time range, a visual message alert feature; and causing the visual message alert feature to be presented on a display of the computer system during the predicted action time range. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
