    Abstract: Multi-workspace shared communication channels described. A communication channel of a group-based communication platform can be associated with multiple group identifiers to associate the communication channel with at least two workspaces, wherein a first group identifier corresponds to a first workspace within which a first group communicates and a second group identifier corresponds to a second workspace within which a second group. The communication channel can be associated with multiple organization identifiers to associate the communication channel with at least two organizations, wherein a first organization identifier corresponds to a first organization and a second organization identifier corresponds to a second organization. A user interface can be presented via a user computing device, wherein the user interface includes an indication of the communication channel, and wherein the indication is associated with a graphical element indicating that the communication channel is associated with multiple organizations.

    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.

    Abstract: Embodiments described herein include apparatuses, computer program products, and methods for data management in a group-based communication system. Specifically, some embodiments address data management for group-based communication channel(s) accessible to any number of entities based on various data retention policies. In this regard, embodiments enable maintenance of data associated with multiple organizations accessing a group-based communication channel based on a single, shared data retention policy, or different data retention policies, for example based on authorship of the group-based communication message. In embodiments, a data retention policy may be assigned directly to an entity, or assigned to a higher-level or lower-level entity and function as a default data a retention policy for other entities associated therewith. A group-based communication system is configured to enable storage of data based on corresponding data retention policies for each organization identifier, and/or an agreed data retention policy for all organization identifiers.

    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 for enabling access to external data of a user for facilitating communications via a communication platform are described herein. A user of the communication platform maintains external data with a third-party service provider. The communication platform receives, in association with a user account of the user, an indication of intent to grant the communication platform access to the external data and an authorization code (the “code”). The communication platform later receives, from the first user account, a request to access the external data. For example, the request can include an input corresponding to an intended recipient of a message. In response to the input, the communication platform sends a request, with the code, to the third-party service provider to obtain contact data associated with the intended recipient and causes the contact data to be presented in association with the message, such as in a “To” field of the message.

    Abstract: Techniques for enabling a client device associated with an organization to render a custom emoji that is associated with a different organization. In some examples, a first user associated with a first organization can compose a message to a second user associated with a second organization, the message including a custom emoji specific to the first organization. A server computing device can receive the message and determine a resource identifier associated with the custom emoji of the first organization. The resource identifier can provide a location in a database at which the custom emoji is stored. The server computing device formats the message to include the resource identifier and sends the message to the second user. A computing device associated with the second user receives the message and accesses the custom emoji based in part on the resource identifier. The computing device then renders the message with the custom emoji for display to the second user.

    Abstract: Management of hosted channel membership of a communication platform is described. A request can be received from a first client of a first user, associated with a first organization, of the group-based communication platform, wherein the request is to associate a second user, associated with a second organization, with a communication channel of the first organization. An invitation to join the communication channel can be sent to a second client of the second user. In response to receiving an indication of an acceptance of the invitation, the second user can be associated with the communication channel. A request can be received from the second client to associate other user(s) associated with the second organization with the communication channel and the other user(s) can be associated with the communication channel based at least in part on permission(s) associated with the communication channel.

    Abstract: Media, system, and method for providing encryption key management to a channel within a group-based communication system. The contents of the channel is encrypted according to the encryption key management policy of the organization to which the author of the content belongs and is stored in a data store. Responsive to a revocation request from a first organization, the encryption keys associated with any content in the channel submitted by the authors of said first organization may be revoked from a second organization, such that users of the second organization no longer have access to the content.
