Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to managing admin-controlled access of external resources to group-based communication interfaces associated with an organization, via a group-based communication system including APIs for improved external resource permissioning, provisioning, and access handling. Embodiments include methods, computer program products, apparatuses, and systems configured to receive an external resource access request, determine an organization identifier, obtain an admin response indication, set an external resource permission status for the external resource based on the admin response indication, and cause rendering of the requested group-based communication interface based on the admin response indication. Embodiments further relate to provisioning and handling requests for services associated with an external resource by managing one or more single-interface access tokens linked to a multi-interface access token.

Managing admin controlled access of external resources to group-based communication interfaces via a group-based communication system

An apparatus is provided for detecting active usage of a group-based communication system having a group-based communication interface. The apparatus includes a memory and processor(s) configured to detect group-based activity data stored in the memory of the apparatus. The processor is further configured to determine an active user subset of a group-based communication system user group based on the group-based activity data. The processor is further configured to compare the active user subset to a predetermined user activity threshold. The processor is further configured to, in circumstances where the active user subset satisfies the predetermined user activity threshold, render a trigger component to the group-based communication interface. Corresponding methods and computer program products are also provided.
