Abstract: Provided is a group-based communication interface, on a computing device, configured to display a defined preview of a resource. The computing device receives a group-based message including a resource request that identifies a requested resource and a resource address. The computing device compares the resource address with a list of subscribed resource addresses and determines from the comparison of the resource address and the subscribed resource addresses that the resource address is associated with a resource provider and is thus a subscribed resource address. In response to determining that the resource address is the subscribed resource address, the computing device provides a defined preview request comprising authentication information to the resource provider, receives defined preview data from the resource provider, and renders the defined preview of the resource based on the defined preview data to the group-based communication interface associated with the group-based message.

Abstract: Techniques for providing an enhanced user profile to provide relevant information to a user requesting to view a user profile associated with another user. In an example, a first user submits a request to view a user profile associated with a second user. In response to receiving the request, the communication platform identifies one or more communication objects (e.g., communication channels, direct messaging instances, messages, threads, etc.) and/or one or more applications (third-party applications, first party applications, etc.) associated with the second user and/or the first user. The communication platform causes a display of indicator(s) associated with the communication object(s) and/or application(s) in association with the user profile, such as to enable efficient access to the associated communication object(s) and/or application(s).

Abstract: A group-based communication platform is configured to ascertain the relatedness of various work objects shared among users of the group-based communication platform. Moreover, the group-based communication platform may further receive and process work objects originating from non-users of the group-based communication platform, thereby further expanding the utility of the determined relatedness between work objects. These work objects (or encrypted representations of these work objects) may be indexed and stored in association with the group-based communication platform, thereby enabling users to search for and retrieve work objects originating from a plurality of work object sources simultaneously, and based on various characteristics of those work objects and the determined interrelatedness between various work objects.

Abstract: Utilizing real-time feedback for message composition in a communication platform is described. Server(s) associated with a group-based communication platform can receive, from a client of a user associated with the group-based communication platform, a request to generate a new message and based at least in part on a determination of a recipient of the new message and communication data associated with the group-based communication platform or the recipient, can generate a recommendation associated with an aspect of the new message to optimize the new message for the recipient. In an example, the server(s) can cause a user interface element associated with the recommendation to be presented via a group-based communication user interface of the group-based communication platform in association with the new message.

Abstract: Using proximity data to update user interfaces for users of a communication platform is described. The communication platform can determine, for a first user of the communication platform, a first location of the first user and for at least a second user of the communication platform, a second location of the second user. Based at least in part on a determination that the first location and the second location satisfy a condition, the communication platform can cause a user interface of the communication platform to be updated, wherein the updated user interface indicates at least one of (i) proximity data associated with the first user and the second user or (ii) context data associated with at least one of the first user or the second user.

Abstract: Integrated workspaces on a communication platform are described. In an example, a user account can be associated with at least two group identifiers thereby associating the user account with at least two workspaces. A first group identifier can correspond to a first workspace within which a first group communicates via a communication platform and a second group identifier can correspond to a second workspace within which a second group communicates via the communication platform. A user interface can be presented via a user computing device operable by a user associated with the user account, wherein the user interface integrates data associated with each of the at least two workspaces with which the user is associated. That is, the user is able to access data associated each of the at least two workspaces via a user interface that presents data from each of the at least two workspaces.

Abstract: Media, methods, and systems are disclosed for contextual discovery and design of application workflow. An event message associated with a user interface control and with an instance of an event is displayed in a communication channel of a group-based communications system. In response to detecting an actuation, by a user, of the user interface control associated with the event message, a workflow creation interface is displayed to configure a new workflow triggered by an instance of an event associated with the event message. Inputs are received from the user, such that the inputs are associated with one or more user-created workflow operations. In response to detecting a triggering event corresponding to the new workflow, the new workflow is executed to carry out the user-created workflow operations.

Abstract: Techniques for facilitating a digital signature occurrence associated with an object transmitted via a communication channel associated with a group-based communication platform. The object may be created by a user within either the group-based communication platform or a third-party application and transmitted to one or more other users associated with the communication channel via the group-based communication platform. The group-based communication platform may be configured to authenticate a digital signature and, based on a verification of the authenticity, associate the digital signature with the object. The group-based communication platform may cause the digital signature to be presented via an interface associated with the communication channel, such as proximate to or viewable in association with the object.

Abstract: Systems and methods initialize distributed client device membership for new client devices joining a group-based communication channel established for content exchange among a plurality of distributed client device members. The systems and methods comprise aspects for executing a content analysis over the content of the one or more group-based communication channels to identify characterizing terms associated with each group-based communication channel. After the content analysis is performed, systems receive search parameters from a potential new member client device for a group-based communication server. Various systems and methods provide selected search results generated based at least in part on a determination that characterizing terms match one or more of the search parameters to the client device. Those selected results comprise a target that is executable by the client device to join the associated group-based communication channel.

Abstract: Verification of entities associated with a communication platform are described. An instruction to create a communication channel on a communication platform is received. The communication channel can be associated with an organization that is registered with the communication platform. Data associated with an entity (e.g., the organization and/or a user associated therewith) can be analyzed to determine whether to verify the entity. Based at least partly on a determination that the entity is verified, an indicator can be presented in association with the entity on a user interface associated with the communication platform and a first set of permissions can be associated with the entity. The first set of permissions can be different than a second set of permissions associated with unverified entities. Use of the communication channel and/or the communication platform by the entity can be controlled based at least partly on the first set of permissions.
