Abstract
Method, system, apparatus, and computer program product for programmatically managing limited engagement by an external email resource entity with a group-based communication interface of a group-based communication system are described herein.
Claims20
One or more non-transitory computer-readable media storing computer-executable instructions that, when executed by a processor, perform a method of managing limited engagement by an external email resource entity with a group-based communication interface of a group-based communication system, the method comprising:
- receiving a communication message of a channel message corpus associated with a group-based communication channel identifier;
- applying a limited engagement protocol to the communication message of the channel message corpus associated with the group-based communication channel identifier;
- determining a number of a plurality of unsent messages of the one or more communication messages that have not been transmitted to an external email resource address associated with the external email resource entity identifier;
- in accordance with a determination that the number of unsent messages exceeds predetermined threshold, generating an email message including the communication message and an additional communication message of the channel message corpus associated with the group-based communication channel identifier;
- and
- transmitting the email message to the external email resource address associated with the external email resource entity identifier.
A method of managing limited engagement by an external email resource entity with a group-based communication interface of a group-based communication system, comprising:
- receiving a communication message of a channel message corpus associated with a group-based communication channel identifier;
- applying a limited engagement protocol to the communication message of the channel message corpus associated with the group-based communication channel identifier;
- determining a number of a plurality of unsent messages of the one or more communication messages that have not been transmitted to an external email resource address associated with the external email resource entity identifier;
- in accordance with a determination that the number of unsent messages exceeds predetermined threshold, generating an email message including the communication message and an additional communication message of the channel message corpus associated with the group-based communication channel identifier;
- and
- transmitting the email message to the external email resource address associated with the external email resource entity identifier.
A system for managing limited engagement by an external email resource entity with a group-based communication interface of a group-based communication system, comprising:
- at least one processor;
- and
- one or more non-transitory computer-readable media storing computer-executable instructions that, when executed by the at least one processor, perform a method comprising:
- receiving a communication message of a channel message corpus associated with a group-based communication channel identifier;
- applying a limited engagement protocol to the communication message of the channel message corpus associated with the group-based communication channel identifier;
- determining a number of a plurality of unsent messages of the one or more communication messages that have not been transmitted to an external email resource address associated with the external email resource entity identifier;
- in accordance with a determination that the number of unsent messages exceeds predetermined threshold, generating an email message including the communication message and an additional communication message of the channel message corpus associated with the group-based communication channel identifier;
- and
- transmitting the email message to the external email resource address associated with the external email resource entity identifier.
