  • Systems and methods for sharing channels in a group-based communication platform
    Patent number: 11902238
    Abstract: A method includes displaying a plurality of group-based communication channels in an interface associated with a first user of a group-communication platform; receiving a request from the first user to share a selected set of the group-based communication channels with at least a second user of the group-based communication platform; displaying to at least the second user an indication of at least one group-based communication channel of the selected set of group-based communication channels and an affordance to add the at least one group-based communication channel of the selected set of group-based communication channels; in response to receiving an actuation of the affordance by the second user, adding the at least one group-based communication channel to an interface associated with the second user; and updating display of the interface associated with the second user to include the at least one group-based communication channel.

  • Event trigger visibility within a group-based communication system
    Patent number: 11611519
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer-readable media are provided for managing trigger visibility within a group-based communication system where visibility to a trigger may be determined by one or more trigger visibility parameters including a user parameter associated with one or more users and a resource parameter associated with a specific resource or context within the group-based communication system. If a trigger is determined to be visible, based on the trigger visibility parameters, the trigger is included within the group-based communication system such that the trigger and a corresponding workflow are accessible.
