Abstract
Provided is a group-based communication interface configured to allow users of the interface to communicate within group-based communication channels and across group-based communication channels to provide relevant information to other users efficiently and effectively. Group-based messaging communications across the plurality of group-based communication channels can be channeled to specific receiver channels providing relevant information to users of the group-based communication interface thereby increasing the efficiency and effectiveness of group-based messaging communications and the lifetime of the system.
Claims20
An apparatus comprising at least a processor, and a memory associated with the processor having computer instructions therein, with the computer instructions configured to:
- establish an association between a graphical identifier and a first channel of a plurality of group-based communication channels;
- display a group-based messaging communication in a second group-based communication channel;
- receive a user input in the second group-based communication channel, wherein the user input comprises selecting the graphical identifier to associate the graphical identifier with the messaging communication;
- and
- in response to receiving the user input, display the messaging communication in the first channel.
A computer-implemented method comprising:
- establishing an association between a graphical identifier and a first channel of a plurality of group-based communication channels;
- displaying a group-based messaging communication in a second group-based communication channel;
- receiving a user input in the second group-based communication channel, wherein the user input comprises selecting the graphical identifier to associate the graphical identifier with the messaging communication;
- and
- in response to receiving the user input, display the messaging communication in the first channel.
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing one or more programs, the one or more programs comprising instructions, which when executed by one or more processors of an electronic device having a display, cause the electronic device to:
- establish an association between a graphical identifier and a first channel of a plurality of group-based communication channels;
- display a group-based messaging communication in a second group-based communication channel;
- receive a user input in the second group-based communication channel, wherein the user input comprises selecting the graphical identifier to associate the graphical identifier with the messaging communication;
- and
- in response to receiving the user input, display the messaging communication in the first channel.
