Abstract
Aspects of the subject technology provide for integration between a messaging system and a collaborative application. A messaging system may receive, via user input, an instruction to create a message thread with a plurality of user accounts. The message thread may include a document link associated with a collaborative application. The messaging system may generate, for each of the user accounts, an obfuscated identifier associated with that user account and a document link. The messaging system may provide the obfuscated identifiers to the collaborative application. An initial message exchanged between the plurality of user accounts with the document link in the message thread may establish, for the collaborative application, the obfuscated identifiers that will be associated with the document link.
