A system, method, and computer-readable media for linking identify information between a group-based communication system and an external application based on a user authorization to share credentials. After sharing the user's credentials, the user may be authenticated with the external application and user data from the group-based communication system may be shared with the external application. Additionally, a preview of a web resource associated with the external application may be displayed to the user within the group-based communication system allowing the user to interact with the web resource from within the group-based communication system.

Identity information linking

This disclosure describes a group-based communication system comprising a group-based communication server and a group-based communication repository. The group-based communication server manages access control parameter discrepancies between a group-based communication channel and a requested resource that is disposed in communication with the group-based communication channel.

Method, apparatus, and computer program product for determining access control parameter discrepancies in group-based communication channels with a group-based communication system

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

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

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.

Systems and methods for initiating external actions via a group-based communication system

Certain embodiments are directed to systems and methods for facilitating the process of joining a conference call within a conference environment. A conference call participant may initiate a conference call within a conference environment (e.g., a conference room), by causing the participant's client device to emit a unique audio tone (which may be human-audible or human-inaudible) that is detected by a call device within the conference room. The unique tone is indicative of unique conference call identification data, which may be utilized by the call device to initiate the conference call, without requiring additional user input by the conference call participant.

Systems and methods for call initiation based on mobile device proximity

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.

Systems and methods for initiating processing actions utilizing automatically generated data of a group-based communication system

A group-based communication platform is configured to detect one or more recurring calls performed via a calling system, such as an external calling platform, and to perform one or more follow-up actions upon detecting a recurring call. The group-based communication platform receives call data for one or more calls, such as previously completed calls or future scheduled calls. The group-based communication platform is further configured to identify user profiles associated with one or more calls, to thereby identify user profiles associated with one or more recurring calls. Thus, the one or more follow-up actions executed by the group-based communication platform for a recurring call is associated with one or more user profiles that are correlated with a recurring call.

Systems and methods for initiating actions based on multi-user call detection

Provided is a group-based communication interface, on a computing device, configured to display a defined preview of a resource. The computing device receives a group-based message including a resource request that identifies a requested resource and a resource address. The computing device compares the resource address with a list of subscribed resource addresses and determines from the comparison of the resource address and the subscribed resource addresses that the resource address is associated with a resource provider and is thus a subscribed resource address. In response to determining that the resource address is the subscribed resource address, the computing device provides a defined preview request comprising authentication information to the resource provider, receives defined preview data from the resource provider, and renders the defined preview of the resource based on the defined preview data to the group-based communication interface associated with the group-based message.

Displaying a defined preview of a resource in a group-based communication interface

Various embodiments are directed to apparatuses, systems, and methods for authorizing within a group-based communication interface a bundled plurality of applications to be collectively installed in a group-based communication workspace enabling communications between client devices via a group-based communication system. Various embodiments are directed to apparatuses, systems, and methods for collectively installing within a group-based communication system a bundled plurality of applications associated with an application bundle. Various embodiments are directed to apparatuses, systems, and methods for generating within a group-based communication interface application bundle data associated with a plurality of applications.
