  • Publication number: 20240129319
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure provide methods, systems, apparatuses, and computer program products that provide for an improved, more efficient, and more stable system of networked computing devices. The embodiments disclose an apparatus and system that enable client devices to selectively grant to third party applications permissions to access group-based communication objects of a group-based communication system. The apparatus and system further enable client devices to selectively grant to third party applications permissions to take specific actions with regards to the group-based communication objects within the system. To accomplish the improvements, the disclosed systems, apparatuses, and computing devices maintain a record of the permissions granted to third party applications in a permissions table stored in a computer storage device.

  • Patent number: 11575772
    Abstract: A group-based communication platform is configured to initialize processing actions executable via validated external resources. Moreover, the group-based communication platform may recommend specific processing actions to a user based at least in part on the user's activity in interacting with the group-based communication platform (e.g., via a client device), wherein such activity may be represented as environmental contextual data. Moreover, once the user selects a particular processing action for execution, the group-based communication retrieves at least a portion of the generated environmental contextual data to be passed to the validated external resource for use in executing the selected processing action.

  • Publication number: 20210149688
    Abstract: Integrating applications into a communication system via steps of workflows is described. In an example, the communication system can receive a request to integrate a functionality of an application into the communication system via an application extension. The functionality can be associated with a step to be integrated in a workflow. Responsive to receiving the request, the communication system can cause an input user interface to be presented via the computing device, wherein the input user interface is configured to receive application extension data. Based at least in part on associating the application extension data with a trigger event identifier, the communication system can store an indication of the step in a repository and cause a selectable user interface element associated with the step to be presented via a group-based communication interface. Selection of the selectable user interface element can cause the step to be included in the workflow.
