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.

Abstract: Integrating applications into a communication system via steps of workflows is described. In an example, the communication system can receive a request to integrate a functionality of an application into the communication system via an application extension. The functionality can be associated with a step to be integrated in a workflow. Responsive to receiving the request, the communication system can cause an input user interface to be presented via the computing device, wherein the input user interface is configured to receive application extension data. Based at least in part on associating the application extension data with a trigger event identifier, the communication system can store an indication of the step in a repository and cause a selectable user interface element associated with the step to be presented via a group-based communication interface. Selection of the selectable user interface element can cause the step to be included in the workflow.
