Systems and methods for providing a packaged plurality of application data within a group-based communication system

A method for authorizing within a group-based communication interface a bundled plurality of applications to be collectively installed in a group-based communication workspace enabling communications between client devices via a group-based communication system, the method comprising:

• receiving an application bundle installation request comprising application bundle data;
• in response to receiving the application bundle installation request, retrieving the application bundle data from a group-based communication repository, the application bundle data comprising a plurality of application identifiers associated respectively with a plurality of applications and at least one executable instruction associated with each of the plurality of applications;
• generating an application bundle authorization data packet comprising an application bundle installation authorization request and at least one authorization token corresponding to the plurality of applications associated with an application bundle identifier, wherein the application bundle installation authorization request is associated with the application bundle identifier and a group-based communication workspace identifier;
• transmitting the application bundle authorization data packet to at least one administrator client device respectively associated with at least one administrator user identifier associated with the group-based communication workspace identifier;
• upon receiving a response from the at least one administrator client device, wherein the response comprises the least one authorization token corresponding with the plurality of applications associated with the application bundle identifier,
• generating a plurality of authorized application indicators respectively associated with each of the plurality of applications associated with the application bundle identifier, each of the plurality of authorized application indicators being associated with the group-based communication workspace identifier.

A computer program product for authorizing within a group-based communication interface a bundled plurality of applications to be collectively installed in a group-based communication workspace enabling communications between client devices via a group-based communication system, the computer program product comprising at least one non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having computer-readable program code portions stored herein, the computer-readable program code portions comprising an executable portion configured to:

• receive an application bundle installation request comprising application bundle data;
• in response to receiving the application bundle installation request, retrieve the application bundle data from a group-based communication repository, the application bundle data comprising a plurality of application identifiers associated respectively with a plurality of applications and at least one executable instruction associated with each of the plurality of applications;
• generate an application bundle authorization data packet comprising an application bundle installation authorization request and at least one authorization token corresponding to the plurality of applications associated with an application bundle identifier, wherein the application bundle installation authorization request is associated with the application bundle identifier and a group-based communication workspace identifier;
• transmit the application bundle authorization data packet to at least one administrator client device respectively associated with at least one administrator user identifier associated with the group-based communication workspace identifier;
• upon receiving a response from the at least one administrator client device, wherein the response comprises the least one authorization token corresponding with the plurality of applications associated with the application bundle identifier,
• generate a plurality of authorized application indicators respectively associated with each of the plurality of applications associated with the application bundle identifier, each of the plurality of authorized application indicators being associated with the group-based communication workspace identifier.
