  • Patent number: 10855630
    Abstract: A group-based communication platform may be utilized to execute one or more processing actions via respective external application systems based on messages exchanged among client devices via the group-based communication platform. A particular processing action may be executed for a particular message by generating a container including contextual data and payload data, wherein the payload data comprises the message for which the processing action is to be performed. The container is provided to the external application system via a proxy endpoint, thereby causing the external application system to execute the processing action based on the data included within the container.

  • Publication number: 20200348802
    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: 20110277823
    Abstract: A system for reducing damage to solar cells during a process for depositing a conductive material on a solar cell is disclosed where an electrical bias or floating potential is applied to the solar cell; and/or an electrical bias is applied to an external electrode(s) so that charged particles of a certain type are redirected away from the solar cells, avoiding the creation of a sufficiently high reverse bias on the solar cell to breakdown the cell.
