Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure provide methods, systems, apparatuses, and computer program products that are configured to generate a predicted channel add object in an improved system of networked computing devices. The embodiments disclose an apparatus and system that provide channel invite suggestions. The channel invite suggestions comprise recommendations of users to invite to group-based communication channels. To provide the channel-invite suggestions, the group-based communication system generates a user-channel data structure that stores a plurality of values that capture relationships between users and group-based communication channels. The values may capture information regarding membership of a user in a group-based communication channel, starring of a group-based communication channel by a user, a level of activity of a user in a group-based communication channel, and a user's word usage in a group-based communication channel.

Abstract: Techniques for dynamically converting a communication channel associated with a communication channel from a communication channel associated with a single organization to a shared communication channel associated with two or more organizations. The communication channel may have associated therewith member profiles associated with a first organization and one or more guest profiles associated with one or more other organizations that are different from the first organization. A server computing system may convert the communication channel to a shared communication channel based on a determination of eligibility for conversion. The server computing system may generate one or more user interfaces associated with the member profiles and the one or more guest profiles, enabling members and guests to communicate via the shared communication channel.

Abstract: Provided is a group-based communication interface configured to allow members of the interface to communicate within group-based communication channels. The group-based communication interface is configured to relegate selected group-based messaging communications to a separate display pane, where additional messaging communications can be received, thereby maintaining a focused selected group-based communication channel. The selected group-based communication channel is updated to indicate that the selected group-based messaging communications was relegated to a separate display pane, informing the channel members while also allowing the channel members to access the separate display pane if desired. Accordingly, the selected group-based communication interface provides for efficient and focused group-based communications.

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: Techniques for performing dynamic profile reconciliation in a communication system. A server computing system may identify two or more user profiles corresponding to a same user that is associated with the communication system. The server computing system may integrate historical data associated with the two or more user profiles into a single user profile (e.g., a destination user profile). The historical data may include messages sent and/or received via the two or more user profiles, files associated with the messages, metadata corresponding to each message, and the like. Responsive to combining the two or more user profiles into the single user profile, the server computing system may delete at least one of the two or more user profiles, storing the combined data in association with the single user profile.
