Abstract

Integrating a third-party platform into a communication platform to enable a user to interact with a third-party object from within the communication platform is described. In an example, an actuation mechanism can be associated with a reference to an object, associated with a third-party platform, presented via a user interface of the group-based communication platform. Based at least in part on detecting an input associated with the user interface, the object can be retrieved from the third-party platform. In an example, the object can be presented via the user interface, wherein one or more messages associated with the group-based communication platform are presented via a first section of the user interface and the object is presented via a second section of the user interface, and wherein the first section and the second section are presented simultaneously and are independently interactable.
