  • Patent number: 10983766
    Abstract: Systems, apparatuses, methods, and computer program products are disclosed for inspecting an interface element viewable in a group-based communication platform interface. An example method includes receiving an inspect command indicative of a request to perform an inspect action on the interface element viewable in the group-based communication platform interface, wherein the request was provided by a user using a client device. The example method further includes generating an element definition payload based on the inspect command. The example method further includes generating an inspect action response message comprising the element definition payload. The example method further includes generating an ephemeral element definition message based on the inspect action response message. Subsequently, the example method includes transmitting the ephemeral element definition message to the client device.
