Methods and apparatuses for managing data integration between an external email resource and a group-based communication system

An apparatus for programmatically managing email data integration between an external email resource and a group-based communication system comprising at least one processor, and at least one memory having computer-executable instructions thereon, said computer-executable instructions configured to, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the apparatus to:

• associate an external email resource with an email address, a first group-based communication system user, and a first group-based communication system user identifier;
• receive an external communication object from the external email resource;
• parse the external communication object to identify external communication contextual data;
• query a group-based communication system data corpus to identify prioritization data, the group-based communication system data corpus comprising group-based communication messaging data, group-based communication channel data, and group-based communication work object data;
• generate a prioritization weight estimate for the prioritization data;
• determine a prioritization score for the external communication object based on the prioritization weight estimate;
• transmit the external communication object to a client device associated with the first group-based communication system user identifier when the prioritization score exceeds a prioritization score threshold;
• and
• render the external communication object for display in a first user email message interface within a group-based communication system interface to allow the first group-based communication system user to view the external communication object within the group-based communication system.

A computer-readable media storing computer-executable instructions, that when executed by a processor perform a method for programmatically managing email data integration between an external email resource and a group-based communication system, said method comprising:

• associating an external email resource with an email address, a first group-based communication system user, and a first group-based communication system user identifier;
• receiving an external communication object from the external email resource;
• parsing the external communication object to identify external communication contextual data;
• querying a group-based communication system data corpus to identify prioritization data, the group-based communication system data corpus comprising group-based communication messaging data, group-based communication channel data, and group-based communication work object data;
• generating a prioritization weight estimate for the prioritization data;
• determining a prioritization score for the external communication object based on the prioritization weight estimate;
• transmitting the external communication object to a client device associated with the first group-based communication system user identifier when the prioritization score exceeds a prioritization score threshold;
• and
• rendering the external communication object for display in a first user email message interface within a group-based communication system interface to allow the first group-based communication system user to view the external communication object within the group-based communication system.
