Abstract: Methods, systems, apparatuses, and computer program products are provided for executing an email communication import protocol in a selected group-based communication interface within a group-based communication system. The group-based communication system allows for receiving one or more email communication corpus associated with email communication accounts and parsing the email communication corpus to identify email communication account identifiers. The group-based communication system thereafter creates and transmits group-based communication interface invitations to the email communication accounts to allow access to the group-based communication interface. Upon access to the group-based communication interface, content from the email communication corpus may be included in the group-based communication interface.

Abstract: Various embodiments are directed to group-based data storage systems configured for maintaining data exchanged between client devices within channel-specific shards each corresponding with one or more group-identifiers to provide group-based access to those channel-specific shards and for applying group-specific policies for data stored within those channel-specific shards. Membership of particular users within particular groups and within particular channels may be monitored such that access to particular channel shards may be controlled based on group-memberships of the users, and access to data stored within particular channel shards may be controlled based on channel-memberships of the users.

Abstract: Methods, apparatuses and computer program products for implementing at least one communication barrier in a group-based communication system are described herein. The apparatus is configured to at least receive a first group correlation between a first user identifier and a first group identifier, receive a second group correlation between a second user identifier and a second group identifier, retrieve a communication separation settings set associated with the first group identifier and the second group identifier, and cause rendering a first electronic indication on a group-based communication interface. In some examples, the first user identifier is associated with a first workspace identifier and a first group-based communication channel. In some examples, the first group-based communication channel is associated with the first workspace identifier and a second workspace identifier.

Abstract: Various embodiments of the present disclosure are directed to a group-based communication system that is configured to more efficiently manage resource sharing requests. In particular, in some embodiments, the group-based communication system is configured to enable admin users to use an external service, such as an external approval provisioning service, that is separate and distinct from the group-based communication system to manage group-based communication resource sharing requests. In other embodiments, the group-based communication system is configured to allow communication with external users and to trigger new user onboarding protocols through the ingestion of external user directories associated with a sponsor user.

Abstract: Discovery of communication platform features or exposure of such features to the user may include generating embeddings for a variety of types of communication platform content and communications. These embeddings may be used to characterize and compare various communication platform features and ultimately expose these features to a user when the user may not have otherwise encountered them. Embeddings may be generated to characterize a user's interactions with a communication platform and/or characterize a channel and the embeddings may be used to expose methods of communicating with the user and/or over the channel.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to managing admin-controlled access of external resources to group-based communication interfaces associated with an organization, via a group-based communication system including APIs for improved external resource permissioning, provisioning, and access handling. Embodiments include methods, computer program products, apparatuses, and systems configured to receive an external resource access request, determine an organization identifier, obtain an admin response indication, set an external resource permission status for the external resource based on the admin response indication, and cause rendering of the requested group-based communication interface based on the admin response indication. Embodiments further relate to provisioning and handling requests for services associated with an external resource by managing one or more single-interface access tokens linked to a multi-interface access token.

Abstract: Various embodiments are directed to message distribution protocols for a group-based communication platform, in which messages exchanged within a plurality of individual communication channels are provided to client devices via a single websocket connection for each client device. The messages are provided together with associated correspondence tags identifying communication channels in which the messages are exchanged, and the client device disseminates those messages for display in appropriate communication-channel-specific display windows based at least in part on the correspondence tags transmitted with the messages.
