  • Patent number: 11968313
    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.

  • Patent number: 11700247
    Abstract: Securing a group-based communication system may comprise identity verification of a user based on tracking an entity's interactions with a computing device associated with a user profile registered with the group-based communication system. The identity verification techniques may comprise capturing various inputs at a computing device associated with a user profile registered with the group-based communication system and storing and/or transmitting the inputs and/or interaction parameters quantifying features of the inputs to a security component of the group-based communication system. The security component may generate a data structure based at least in part on comparing the interaction parameters to historical interaction parameters and the data structure may be used to generate a trust score for verifying or denying the entity interacting with the computing device.

  • Publication number: 20220351142
    Abstract: Techniques for identifying actual communications and data flow between users of an organization exchanged via a communication platform and providing a recommended action for a user to perform based on the actual communications are described herein. The communication platform receives messages exchanged between users of the organization and generates an interaction graph representative of actual interactions (e.g., communications, data flow, etc.) between the users. The interaction graph can be based on a frequency of messages, message content (e.g., message data, attached documents, links, applications, etc.), context data (e.g., personal, business, collaborative (e.g., associated with a project, etc.), etc.), user data associated with the users (e.g., position, title, team identifiers, etc.).

  • Patent number: 11444896
    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.
