  • Patent number: 11943180
    Abstract: Draft message object collaboration in a group-based communication platform is described. A request to generate a message object can be received from a first client associated with a first entity of a group-based communication platform. A first instance of a composition user interface, configured to enable a draft of the message object to be generated, can be presented via the first client and a request to add a second entity as a collaborator can be received. A second instance of the composition user interface can be presented via a second client of the second entity. A modification to the draft of the message object can be received and, in response to receiving the modification, the message object can be updated as presented via respective instances of the composition user interface.

  • 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.).
