Group-based communication apparatus configured to implement operational sequence sets and render workflow interface objects within a group-based communication system

A group-based communication apparatus configured to render a workflow menu interface in a group-based communication interface of a group-based communication system, the group-based communication apparatus comprising at least one processor and at least one memory, the at least one memory having computer-coded instructions therein, wherein the computer-coded instructions are configured to, in execution with the at least one processor, cause the group-based communication apparatus to:

• receive an operational sequence set query associated with a group-based communication system channel identifier;
• query a group-based communication workflow repository for an operational sequence set in a set of channel supported operational sequence sets associated with the channel identifier,
• wherein the operational sequence set is associated with a group-defined channel configuration template;
• initiate execution of the operational sequence set based on a workflow trigger event received in the group-based communication system,
• wherein the operational sequence set comprises operational sequence steps that generate a group-based communication channel;
• and
• cause rendering of a workflow menu interface to the group-based communication interface of a client device associated with the operational sequence set query based upon the operational sequence set and the group-defined channel configuration template, the workflow menu interface comprising channel supported workflow interface objects, and wherein each of the channel supported workflow interface objects is associated with one of the channel supported operational sequence sets.

A computer-implemented method for rendering workflow menu interface in a group-based communication interface of a group-based communication system, the computer-implemented method comprising:

• receiving an operational sequence set query associated with a channel identifier;
• querying a group-based communication workflow repository for an operational sequence set in a set of channel supported operational sequence sets associated with the channel identifier,
• wherein the operational sequence set is associated with a group-defined channel configuration template;
• initiating execution of the operational sequence set based on a workflow trigger event received in the group-based communication system,
• wherein the operational sequence set comprises operational sequence steps that generate a group-based communication channel;
• and
• rendering a workflow menu interface to the group-based communication interface of a client device associated with the operational sequence set query based upon the operational sequence set and the group-defined channel configuration template, the workflow menu interface comprising channel supported workflow interface objects, and wherein each of the channel supported workflow interface objects is associated with one of the channel supported operational sequence sets.

A computer program product comprising a non-transitory computer readable medium having computer program instructions stored therein, the computer program instructions configured to, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to:

• detect a workflow trigger event received in a group-based communication system, the workflow trigger event associated with a workflow in the group-based communication system, the workflow having a workflow identifier;
• retrieve an operational sequence set based upon at least the workflow identifier from a group-based communication workflow repository, the operational sequence set associated with a group-defined channel configuration template,
• wherein the operational sequence set comprises operational sequence steps that generate a group-based communication channel;
• initiate execution of the operational sequence set based on the workflow trigger event;
• and
• cause rendering of one or more workflow interface objects to a group-based communication interface based upon the operational sequence set and the group-defined channel configuration template.
