Various embodiments of the present invention are directed to an improved group-based communication apparatus that is configured to efficiently manage group-based communication interfaces associated with one or more group-based communication workspaces. The group-based communication apparatus is configured to create and assign labels in association with one or more of a plurality of group-based communication channels that are associated with two or more groups or organizations. The labels corresponding to the communication channels associated with the two or more groups or organizations may be displayed to a sidebar label focus interface component of a sidebar pane of the group-based communication interfaces. The labels may be combined with other data of the groups or organizations, such as group-based communication workspaces, to assemble one or more work graph data structures.

Organization of channel labels associated with a plurality of group-based communication channels in a communication platform

This disclosure is directed to a group-based communication system that is configured to generate a group-based communication interface comprising a priority pane, a last actions pane, and a missed pane. Each of the priority pane, the last actions pane, and the missed pane and configured for efficient positioning within a defined display window of a client device.

System, apparatus, and computer program product for generating a group-based communication interface having improved panes positioned in a defined display window

Systems and methods initialize distributed client device membership for new client devices joining a group-based communication channel established for content exchange among a plurality of distributed client device members. The systems and methods comprise aspects for executing a content analysis over the content of the one or more group-based communication channels to identify characterizing terms associated with each group-based communication channel. After the content analysis is performed, systems receive search parameters from a potential new member client device for a group-based communication server. Various systems and methods provide selected search results generated based at least in part on a determination that characterizing terms match one or more of the search parameters to the client device. Those selected results comprise a target that is executable by the client device to join the associated group-based communication channel.

Systems and methods for managing distributed client device membership within group-based communication channels

Various embodiments of the present disclosure are directed to a group-based communication apparatus that is configured to enable end-users (e.g., non-admin users) to initiate, by way of client devices, generation of a shareable resource associated with a group-based communication resource identifier to efficiently authorize communication between client devices associated with different organization identifiers in group-based communication interfaces associated with a shared group-based communication resource identifier.

Authorizations associated with externally shared communication resources

Snippets of content associated with a communication platform are described. In an example, based at least in part on a determination, by the communication platform, that a user of the communication platform is permitted to access one or more snippets of content provided by one or more other users of the communication platform, causing one or more user interface elements associated with the one or more snippets of content to be presented via a user interface of a user computing device of the user. The communication platform can receive, from the user computing device, a request to view a snippet of content of the one or more snippets of content and can cause the snippet of content to be presented by the user computing device via the user interface associated with the communication platform.

Snippet(s) of content associated with a communication platform

Embodiments of the present disclosure provide methods, systems, apparatuses, and computer program products that are configured to generate a predicted channel add object in an improved system of networked computing devices. The embodiments disclose an apparatus and system that provide channel invite suggestions. The channel invite suggestions comprise recommendations of users to invite to group-based communication channels. To provide the channel-invite suggestions, the group-based communication system generates a user-channel data structure that stores a plurality of values that capture relationships between users and group-based communication channels. The values may capture information regarding membership of a user in a group-based communication channel, starring of a group-based communication channel by a user, a level of activity of a user in a group-based communication channel, and a user's word usage in a group-based communication channel.

Method, apparatus, and computer program product for generating a predicted channel add object in a group-based communication system

Various embodiments of the present invention are directed to an improved group-based communication apparatus that is configured to efficiently manage group-based communication interfaces associated with one or more group-based communication workspaces. The group-based communication apparatus is configured to create and assign user-defined channel labels in association with one or more of a plurality of group-based communication channels. The user-defined channel labels may be displayed to a sidebar label focus interface component of a sidebar pane of the group-based communication interfaces. The user-defined channel labels may be combined with other data of the group-based communication workspaces to assemble one or more work graph data structures.

Group-based communication system and apparatus configured to manage user-defined channel labels associated with a plurality of group-based communication channels

Provided is a group-based communication interface and an apparatus configured to programmatically generate and provide digests of relevant group-based communications transmitted between a plurality of client devices and a group-based communication system.
