1. A method comprising: controlling a communication platform system to:
responsive to an instruction to communicate with a communication destination of a first client application, access a presence status resource exposed by a presence status server through a presence application protocol interface (API) of the presence server; in a case where the communication destination is associated with a plurality of different accounts, determine an available account of the different accounts by using the accessed presence status resource, and routing incoming communication to the determined available account, wherein the accessed presence status resource consolidates at least a subset of a plurality of presence statuses registered for a plurality of different client applications for the plurality of different accounts; and in a case where the communication destination is associated with a plurality of different devices for a single account, determine an available device of the different devices by using the accessed presence status resource, and routing incoming communication to the determined available device, wherein the accessed presence status resource consolidates at least a subset of a plurality of presence statuses registered for a plurality of different devices for the single account.
