    Abstract: Managing organization disconnections from a shared resource of a communication platform is described. In a sharing approval repository of a communication platform, a shared resource can be associated with a host organization identifier and a non-host organization identifier. In an example, in response to receiving, from a user computing device associated with the host organization identifier or the non-host organization identifier, a resource disconnection request comprising a disconnecting organization identifier and a resource identifier associated with the shared resource, the sharing approval repository can be updated to add a disconnection indication for the resource identifier in association with the disconnecting organization identifier. The disconnection indication can restrict access, of users of a disconnected organization, to data associated with the shared resource that is stored in a live shared resource repository and can cause a static shared resource to be presented based on a selection input corresponding to the shared resource.

    Abstract: Techniques are described for expediting a generation of a means of communication between two people associated with different organizations. A first person associated with a communication platform may submit a request to the communication platform to generate an invitation to communicate via the communication platform. The first person may provide the invitation to a second person directly or via the communication platform. Responsive to receiving an indication that the second person has accepted the invitation, the communication platform may generate the means of communication between the first person and the second person. The communication platform may update respective user interfaces to include the means of communication. The communication platform may process messages and/or data between the first person and the second person that is input on the respective user interface and sent via the means of communication.

    Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure provide methods, systems, apparatuses, and computer program products that provide for an improved, more efficient, and more stable system of networked computing devices. The embodiments disclose an apparatus and system that enable client devices to selectively grant to third party applications permissions to access group-based communication objects of a group-based communication system. The apparatus and system further enable client devices to selectively grant to third party applications permissions to take specific actions with regards to the group-based communication objects within the system. To accomplish the improvements, the disclosed systems, apparatuses, and computing devices maintain a record of the permissions granted to third party applications in a permissions table stored in a computer storage device. The permissions table may be modified to expand the permissions granted to the third party application without requiring a new authentication process that issues a new authenticating token. Further, third party applications are installed at a group level and not at a user level within the system, which increases system stability and efficiency.

    Abstract: Techniques are described for expediting a generation of a direct messaging instance between two people associated with different organizations. A first person associated with a communication platform may submit a request to the communication platform to generate an invitation to communicate via the direct messaging instance. The first person may provide the invitation to a second person directly or via the communication platform. Responsive to receiving an indication that the second person has accepted the invitation, the communication platform may generate a direct messaging instance between the first person and the second person. The communication platform may update respective user interfaces to include the direct messaging instance. The communication platform may process messages and/or data between the first person and the second person that is input on the respective user interface and sent via the direct messaging instance.

    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: Techniques for updating a user interface associated with a communication platform are described herein. The communication platform can enable communications between two or more organizations, such as via a shared resource. The shared resource can include a communication channel, workspace, direct messaging instance, board, or other resource associated with messaging communications. In some examples, the communication platform can receive a request to view a shared resource and can identify two or more organizations associated with the shared resource. Based on the identified two or more organizations, the communication platform can cause a user interface to be presented on a computing device associated with the request. The user interface can include indicators and/or data associated with the two or more organizations, such as to provide an indication that messages transmitted via the shared resource will be shared with members of different organizations.
