Abstract
Triggering events in an electronic calendar schedule prompt modifications to responses to incoming communications. Different types of triggering events prompt different response modifications to different types of incoming communications. Response modifications may include setting a temporary voice greeting during a meeting scheduled in the calendar, and temporarily suspending an instant messaging session. Similarly, call redirection, out-of-office email alerts, and remote notification may be set during a business trip scheduled in the calendar. Other response modifications may be based on date, day of the week, and time of day.
