Abstract:

A group-based communication platform can present, via a client device of the group-based communication platform, a user interface that includes a user interface element, interaction therewith, invoking a command associated with an external system. Based at partly on receiving an indication of an interaction with the user interface element, the group-based communication platform can cause payload data to be provided to the external system, wherein the payload data is associated with an indication of the command invoked via the interaction. Based at least partly on causing the payload data to be provided to the external system, a response to the payload data can be received and an interactive dialog can be presented via the user interface. The interactive dialog can be configured to prompt a user of the client device for data to be provided to the external system for performing a processing action associated with the command.

International Classification:

G06F 3/0482
G06F 9/54
H04L 29/08

Abstract:

Configuring subscriptions for receiving notifications associated with objects of a group-based communication platform is described. A user interface element, which can correspond to an object, can be displayed in a user interface of the group-based communication platform. An indication of an interaction with the user interface element can be received and in response to receiving the indication of the interaction with the user interface element, a subscription user interface can be presented via the user interface, wherein the subscription user interface is associated with an option to subscribe to notifications associated with the object. In response to receiving a request to subscribe to notifications associated with the object, a subscription for notifications associated with the object can be generated and, in response to generating the subscription, a subscription user interface element can be presented via the user interface to indicate that the object is associated with a subscription.

International Classification:

H04L 29/08
H04L 29/06
G06F 3/0482
H04L 12/18

Abstract:

A group-based communication platform is configured to initialize processing actions executable via validated external resources. Moreover, the group-based communication platform may recommend specific processing actions to a user based at least in part on the user's activity in interacting with the group-based communication platform (e.g., via a client device), wherein such activity may be represented as environmental contextual data. Moreover, once the user selects a particular processing action for execution, the group-based communication retrieves at least a portion of the generated environmental contextual data to be passed to the validated external resource for use in executing the selected processing action.

International Classification:

H04L 12/58
G06Q 10/10

Abstract:

A group-based communication platform may be utilized to execute one or more processing actions via respective external application systems based on messages exchanged among client devices via the group-based communication platform. A particular processing action may be executed for a particular message by generating a container including contextual data and payload data, wherein the payload data comprises the message for which the processing action is to be performed. The container is provided to the external application system via a proxy endpoint, thereby causing the external application system to execute the processing action based on the data included within the container.
