    Abstract: A communication platform can leverage a network-based computing system to enable applications to exchange data with one or more applications via channels. In some examples, a first application may post messages to the channel and a second application may listen to the posted messages to identify an event based on one or more of the messages. Responsive to detecting an event, the second application may notify a user, create a new channel, add a user to a channel, or the like, and/or the second application may take an action to remediate an issue. The first application and the second application and users added to the channel may be associated with a same or different organizations.

    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.

    Abstract: Media, methods, and systems are disclosed for hosting an event-based application. Application instructions corresponding to processing steps to be performed in response to particular events are received from a development environment. The events are associated with a group-based communication channel. An application comprising computer-executable instructions is generated based on the application instructions and metadata associated with the events. In response to detecting one or more of the events, execution of the computer-executable instructions is triggered. A response is received corresponding to output from applying the processing steps to the events. A message is posted into the respective communication channel corresponding to the response.

    Abstract: Techniques for providing an enhanced user profile to provide relevant information to a user requesting to view a user profile associated with another user. In an example, a first user submits a request to view a user profile associated with a second user. In response to receiving the request, the communication platform identifies one or more communication objects (e.g., communication channels, direct messaging instances, messages, threads, etc.) and/or one or more applications (third-party applications, first party applications, etc.) associated with the second user and/or the first user. The communication platform causes a display of indicator(s) associated with the communication object(s) and/or application(s) in association with the user profile, such as to enable efficient access to the associated communication object(s) and/or application(s). Additionally, the communication platform can identify additional contacts of the second user and/or inferred characteristics of the second user to present in association with the user profile.

    Abstract: Media, methods, and systems are disclosed for contextual discovery and design of application workflow. An event message associated with a user interface control and with an instance of an event is displayed in a communication channel of a group-based communications system. In response to detecting an actuation, by a user, of the user interface control associated with the event message, a workflow creation interface is displayed to configure a new workflow triggered by an instance of an event associated with the event message. Inputs are received from the user, such that the inputs are associated with one or more user-created workflow operations. In response to detecting a triggering event corresponding to the new workflow, the new workflow is executed to carry out the user-created workflow operations.

    Abstract: Techniques for providing a simplified and expedited means by which a user can associate a workflow with a user account of a communication platform are described herein. The communication platform stores a plurality of previously generated workflows that can be associated with the user account. A workflow includes a task, or sequences of steps, that can be performed by the communication platform and/or a third-party resource. The communication platform provides data associated with select workflows (e.g., based on relevance) to a user via an interface. The user may then select a workflow for association with a user account via the interface. In some examples, the communication platform can enable the user to customize the workflow to improve relevance thereof to the user account. Based on an occurrence of a triggering action associated with a workflow, the communication platform causes a task associated with the workflow to be performed.
