Abstract: Various embodiments of the disclosure are directed to updating a selected group-based communication interface of a plurality of group-based communication interfaces with an application dialog received from an external application. In an example, user interaction data associated with a group-based communication system can be received from a client device, and a triggering event, associated with an application external to the group-based communication system, can be identified from within the user interaction data. An application dialog request, associated with the triggering event, can be sent to the application and, in response to sending the application dialog request to the application, an application dialog can be received from the application. Based at least partly on a determination that the application is validated for communication with the client device, the application dialog can be output to the client device for display via a group-based communication user interface associated with the group-based communication system.

Abstract: Various embodiments of the disclosure are directed to updating a selected group-based communication interface of a plurality of group-based communication interfaces with an application dialog received from an external application. User interaction data may be generated based on group-messages in group-based communication channels of the selected group-based communication interface. A validation server parses the user interaction data received to identify a triggering event associated with the external application by comparing the parsed user interaction data with a triggering event registry. The validation server then sends a trigger token to the external application associated with the triggering event. In response to receiving the trigger token, the external application sends the validation server application dialogs and/or dialog validation data that is authenticated and output for rendering to the selected group-based communication interface.

Abstract: Provided is a group-based communication interface, on a computing device, configured to display a defined preview of a resource. The computing device receives a group-based message including a resource request that identifies a requested resource and a resource address. The computing device compares the resource address with a list of subscribed resource addresses and determines from the comparison of the resource address and the subscribed resource addresses that the resource address is associated with a resource provider and is thus a subscribed resource address. In response to determining that the resource address is the subscribed resource address, the computing device provides a defined preview request comprising authentication information to the resource provider, receives defined preview data from the resource provider, and renders the defined preview of the resource based on the defined preview data to the group-based communication interface associated with the group-based message.

Abstract: A computer-readable media, method, and system for calling a function within a group-based communication system. The function may be initiated according to a trigger condition and is associated with arguments and return values. To carry out the function, an HTTP request is generated and sent to an HTTP server, which sends an HTTP callback to a group-based communication system server. The HTTP callback may include return values indicative of either a successful completion of the function or an error.
