Abstract:
Examples described herein can identify items from third-party or backend services, obtain relevant information for those items, and automatically populate hyperlinks relevant to those items in a draft email. A regular expressions search can be executed on the text of a draft email. When a match is found, the email client can request, from a server, an object associated with the matching expression. The server can obtain the object, using one or more connectors that provide access to a backend system, and provide it to the email client. The email client can extract a URL from the object and enter the URL into a links table stored on the user device. The email client can pull the URL from the links table and use it to automatically generate a hyperlink of the regular expression within the body of the draft email.
