An apparatus is provided configured for parsing and formatting a message in a group-based communication interface. The apparatus includes a memory and a processor(s) configured to receive an input string generated through user engagement of the group-based communication interface. The processor is also configured to parse the input string to identify a structured format string. The processor is further configured to, in a circumstance where the structured format trigger is identified in the input string, apply a structured format to the input string to generate a structured message object for rendering to the group-based communication interface. Corresponding methods and computer program products are also provided.

Updates to data associated with a communication channel of which a user is not a current member are described herein. In an example, server(s) associated with a group-based communication platform can cause at least one communication channel to be presented via a user interface output via a display of a user computing device operable by a user. The user may not be a current member of the communication channel. The server(s) can receive a request to preview the communication channel and, based at least in part on receiving the request, can cause a preview of the communication channel to be presented via the user interface. The preview can present data associated with the communication channel via the user interface. The server(s) can send, to the user computing device, updated data associated with the communication channel while the preview is being presented via the user interface.
