Dynamic channel conversion in group-based communication systems

An apparatus for performing profile data reconciliation between two distinct storage platforms following conversion of a non-shared communication channel of a communication platform to a shared communication channel of the communication platform, the apparatus comprising at least one processor and at least one memory including program code, the at least one memory and the program code configured to, with the processor, cause the apparatus to at least:

• identify the non-shared communication channel of the communication platform, wherein access to the non-shared communication channel is restricted to first members of a single organization and one or more guests of the single organization;
• retrieve initiator content data associated with the non-shared communication channel from a primary storage platform, wherein the primary storage platform is associated with a primary organizational identifier;
• determine, based at least in part on the initiator content data, target content data;
• determine that the non-shared communication channel was converted to the shared communication channel, wherein the shared communication channel is accessible to at least the first members of the single organization and second members of another organization different than the single organization;
• and
• cause, subsequent to conversion of the non-shared communication channel to the shared communication channel, a secondary storage platform associated with a secondary organizational identifier to store the target content data.

A non-transitory computer storage medium comprising instructions for performing profile data reconciliation between two distinct storage platforms following conversion of a non-shared communication channel of a communication platform to a shared communication channel of the communication platform, the instructions being configured to cause one or more processors to at least perform operations configured to:

• identify the non-shared communication channel of the communication platform, wherein access to the non-shared communication channel is restricted to first members of a single organization and one or more guests of the single organization;
• retrieve initiator content data associated with the non-shared communication channel from a primary storage platform, wherein the primary storage platform is associated with a primary organizational identifier;
• determine, based at least in part on the initiator content data, target content data;
• determine that the non-shared communication channel was converted to the shared communication channel, wherein the shared communication channel is accessible to at least the first members of the single organization and second members of another organization different than the single organization;
• and
• cause, subsequent to conversion of the non-shared communication channel to the shared communication channel, a secondary storage platform associated with a secondary organizational identifier to store the target content data.
