Abstract

Various embodiments of the disclosure are directed to updating a selected group-based communication interface of a plurality of group-based communication interfaces with an application dialog received from an external application. User interaction data may be generated based on group-messages in group-based communication channels of the selected group-based communication interface. A validation server parses the user interaction data received to identify a triggering event associated with the external application by comparing the parsed user interaction data with a triggering event registry. The validation server then sends a trigger token to the external application associated with the triggering event. In response to receiving the trigger token, the external application sends the validation server application dialogs and/or dialog validation data that is authenticated and output for rendering to the selected group-based communication interface.
