Embodiments of the present disclosure provide methods, systems, apparatuses, and computer program products that provide for an improved and more efficient system of networked computing devices. The embodiments disclose an apparatus and system that enable client devices to install integrations of a third party application that supports variable host address identification. The apparatus and methods further enable a user of the client device to modify the host address identification associated with an installed integration. In this manner, the group-based communication system establishes communication links with network locations that vary from integration to integration and that may vary over time. To implement the invention, the group-based communication system supports the creation of a blueprint application, with an associated blueprint row that serves as the basis from which a plurality of differing integrations are generated. Further, the blueprint row stores variable host address identifications. The reduced number of data structures that result from supporting variable host address identifications increases system efficiency and reduces infrastructure requirements.

Method, apparatus, and computer program product for installing third party applications requiring variable host address identification in a group-based communication system

Systems and methods provide managing of communication between a remote data object hosted by a remote resource and a group-based communication interface of a group-based communication system.

Methods, apparatuses and computer program products for a group-based communication system interacting with remote resources for remote data objects

Embodiments of the present disclosure provide methods, systems, apparatuses, and computer program products for building and rendering a message user interface (UI) within a group-based communication interface of a group-based communication system, where the message UI is rendered to a client device based on a customizable block configuration and on customizable block data that is received from an external application.

Embodiments of the present disclosure provide methods, systems, apparatuses, and computer program products for building an rendering a message user interface (UI) within a group-based communication interface of a group-based communication system, where the message UI is rendered to a client device based on a customizable block configuration and on customizable block data that is received from an external application.

Embodiments of the present disclosure provide methods, systems, apparatuses, and computer program products for maintaining and updating a common message user interface (UI) shared among a plurality of group-based communication interfaces in a group-based communication system. The common message UI is rendered based on an updated version or a most up-to-date state of the common message UI when accessed by a client device associated with one of the plurality of group-based communication interfaces.
