  • OBJECT INTERFACE FOR QUICK ACCESS TO OBJECTS OF A COMMUNICATION PLATFORM
    Publication number: 20230179562
    Abstract: An object interface for quick access to object(s) of a communication platform is described. Server(s) of the communication platform can receive, in association with a user interface of the communication platform, a request to associate an object with an object interface associated with a virtual space of the communication platform. The server(s) can cause one or more objects to be presented via the user interface and can receive a selection of a particular object from the one or more objects. The server(s) can cause, in response to the selection, a user interface element representative of the particular object to be associated with the object interface, wherein the user interface element is associated with an actuation mechanism that, when actuated, causes the particular object to be presented via the user interface. Notifications associated with the particular object can be indicated by annotation(s) to the user interface.
