  • Patent number: 11190368
    Abstract: Updates to data associated with a communication channel of which a user is not a current member are described herein. In an example, server(s) associated with a group-based communication platform can cause at least one communication channel to be presented via a user interface output via a display of a user computing device operable by a user. The user may not be a current member of the communication channel. The server(s) can receive a request to preview the communication channel and, based at least in part on receiving the request, can cause a preview of the communication channel to be presented via the user interface. The preview can present data associated with the communication channel via the user interface. The server(s) can send, to the user computing device, updated data associated with the communication channel while the preview is being presented via the user interface.

  • Publication number: 20210173493
    Abstract: Various embodiments of the present invention are directed to an improved group-based communication apparatus that is configured to manage draft messaging communications and various interfaces associated with such draft messaging communications in a group-based communication system. The group-based communication apparatus is configured to render a draft message composer interface to a group-based communication interface to provide an interface for a user to compose a draft messaging communication, including indicating a destination and/or content to be included in such draft messaging communication. The group-based communication apparatus is further configured to detect engagement of interface components and assign draft message titles to draft messaging communications. The assigned draft message titles, or draft message placeholders when no draft message title is assigned, may be displayed to a sidebar pane of the group-based communication interface.
