Description

Method, server and user terminal for connecting a chat-room corresponding to an email to a messenger application The present invention relates to a method for connecting a chat room corresponding to an email to a messenger application. In environments where existing email systems and chat rooms operate separately, users experienced inconvenience due to inefficient processes, such as sending duplicate messages in the chat room when performing tasks like replying, forwarding, or file sharing via email. This resulted in the repeated delivery of unnecessary notifications to users, exacerbating the hassle of the communication process. Although various attempts have been made to address these issues, such as embedding chat rooms within emails, limitations persisted in actual usage due to low accessibility to these chat rooms. Despite the chat rooms being integrated within the email, the expected efficiency was not achieved because the structure made it difficult for users to easily recognize and utilize them. Therefore, the present invention aims to provide an environment in which users can communicate in a more intuitive and integrated manner by significantly improving the accessibility of chat rooms provided within email and effectively resolving the issue of redundant notifications between email and messenger by linking chat rooms provided within email with other specific services. FIG. 1 is a diagram illustrating an example of a network environment according to one embodiment of the present invention. FIG. 2 is a flowchart illustrating a method for a user terminal of the present invention to connect a chat room corresponding to an email to a messenger application. FIGS. 3 to 8 illustrate a screen in which a user terminal according to an embodiment of the present invention displays a second chat room corresponding to a first chat room through a messenger application.
