Abstract: Systems, apparatuses, methods, and computer program products are disclosed for providing app-less rendering in a group-based communication platform interface. An example method includes receiving a command indicative of a request to perform an app-less API call in the group-based communication platform, wherein the command comprises electronic information indicative of a requested API method name and a set of requested call parameters. The example method further includes generating an app-less API call based on the requested API method name and the set of requested call parameters. The example method further includes generating a response to the app-less API call. The example method further includes generating an app-less API call response message based on the command and the response to the app-less API call. Subsequently, the example method includes generating an ephemeral command response message based on the app-less API call response message.

Abstract: Systems, apparatuses, methods, and computer program products are disclosed for inspecting an interface element viewable in a group-based communication platform interface. An example method includes receiving an inspect command indicative of a request to perform an inspect action on the interface element viewable in the group-based communication platform interface, wherein the request was provided by a user using a client device. The example method further includes generating an element definition payload based on the inspect command. The example method further includes generating an inspect action response message comprising the element definition payload. The example method further includes generating an ephemeral element definition message based on the inspect action response message. Subsequently, the example method includes transmitting the ephemeral element definition message to the client device.

Abstract: Systems, apparatuses, methods, and computer program products are disclosed for electronically retrieving documentation in a group-based communication platform interface. An example method includes receiving a documentation request command indicative of a request for group-based communication platform documentation, wherein the documentation request command comprises electronic information indicative of a requested API method name. The example method further includes retrieving a group-based communication platform API specification comprising a set of group-based communication platform documentation information associated with a set of group-based communication platform documentation API method names.
