    Abstract: One or more computing devices, systems, and/or methods for facilitating user subscription to content from a content provider are provided. For example, a message interface provides access to messages associated with a user message address of a user. A content recommendation to subscribe to content of a content provider is generated and populated within the message interface (e.g., a recommendation to subscribe to a gardening newsletter). Responsive to the user interacting with the content recommendation, a subscribe option is displayed through the message interface. The user can use the subscribe option to quickly and efficiently create a user subscription to the content without transitioning away from the message interface. Information used to create the user subscription can be prefilled in order to reduce the amount of user actions needed for creating the user subscription.

    Abstract: Disclosed are systems and methods for improving interactions between servers in a messaging system supported by or configured with content providing servers or platforms. The disclosed systems interact to filter data across platforms, which data can be used to improve the contextual quality of data used in processing interactions between or among processors in such systems. The disclosed computer systems and methods enable the communication of contextually relevant Hypertext Markup Language (HTML) content to a user's inbox. Such messages are native to a communication platform, application or service associated with the user's inbox. Such messages can be selected for delivery to a user based on the user's profile data, behavioral information, a user's geographic location, demographic information, a time period, and the like.
