Methods, apparatuses and computer program products for a group-based communication system interacting with remote resources for remote data objects
Systems and methods provide managing of communication between a remote data object hosted by a remote resource and a group-based communication interface of a group-based communication system.
1. A method of communicating with a remote resource to present a graphical representation of a remote data object in a group-based communication interface, the method comprising:
receiving, via a group-based communication system, the remote data object share request comprising:
a uniform resource locator (URL) indicative of the remote data object stored at the remote resource;
a share location identifier identifying a share location within the group-based communication interface; and
a group identifier identifying a set of users having access to the share location within the group-based communication interface, the set of users being a subset of a group having access to the group-based communication interface;
transmitting the remote data object share notification to the remote resource;
receiving, from the remote resource, data indicative of the graphical representation of the remote data object; and
causing display of the graphical representation of the remote data object at the share location within the group-based communication interface for view by the set of users identified by the group identifier.
2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the share location is one of a group-based communication channel or a direct message interface.
3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the group identifier is a workspace identifier within the group-based communication system.
4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the remote data object share notification, transmitted to the remote resource, comprises an authentication token authorizing the remote resource to communicate with the group-based communication system.
5. The method of claim 4 , further comprising enabling user access to the remote data object in response to the remote resource validating the authentication token.
6. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
receiving, from the remote resource, remote preview metadata for the remote data object;
generating, based on the remote preview metadata, a remote preview, and
automatically rendering the remote preview in response to a remote preview request.
7. The method of claim 6 , wherein the remote preview comprises image data or remote preview markup data.
8. One or more non-transitory computer-readable media storing computer-executable instructions that, when executed by a processor, perform a method of communicating with a remote resource to present a graphical representation of a remote data object in a group-based communication interface, the method comprising:
receiving, via a group-based communication system, the remote data object share request comprising:
a uniform resource locator (URL) indicative of the remote data object stored at the remote resource;
a share location identifier identifying a share location within the group-based communication interface; and
a group identifier identifying a set of users having access to the share location within the group-based communication interface, the set of users being a subset of a group having access to the group-based communication interface;
transmitting the remote data object share notification to the remote resource;
receiving, from the remote resource, data indicative of the graphical representation of the remote data object; and
causing display of the graphical representation of the remote data object at the share location within the group-based communication interface for view by the set of users identified by the group identifier.
9. The media of claim 8 , wherein the share location is one of a group-based communication channel or a direct message interface.
10. The media of claim 8 , wherein the group identifier is a workspace identifier within the group-based communication system.
11. The media of claim 8 , wherein the remote data object share notification, transmitted to the remote resource, comprises an authentication token authorizing the remote resource to communicate with the group-based communication system.
12. The media of claim 11 , wherein the method further comprises enabling user access to the remote data object in response to the remote resource validating the authentication token.
13. The media of claim 8 , wherein the method further comprises:
receiving, from the remote resource, remote preview metadata for the remote data object;
generating, based on the remote preview metadata, a remote preview, and
automatically rendering the remote preview in response to a remote preview request.
14. The media of claim 13 , wherein the remote preview comprises image data or remote preview markup data.
15. A 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 of communicating with a remote resource to present a graphical representation of a remote data object in a group-based communication interface, the method comprising:
receiving, via a group-based communication system, the remote data object share request comprising:
a uniform resource locator (URL) indicative of the remote data object stored at the remote resource;
a share location identifier identifying a share location within the group-based communication interface; and
a group identifier identifying a set of users having access to the share location within the group-based communication interface, the set of users being a subset of a group having access to the group-based communication interface;
transmitting the remote data object share notification to the remote resource;
receiving, from the remote resource, data indicative of the graphical representation of the remote data object; and
causing display of the graphical representation of the remote data object at the share location within the group-based communication interface for view by the set of users identified by the group identifier.
16. The system of claim 15 , wherein the share location is one of a group-based communication channel or a direct message interface.
17. The system of claim 16 , wherein the group identifier is a workspace identifier within the group-based communication system.
18. The system of claim 15 ,
wherein the remote data object share notification, transmitted to the remote resource, comprises an authentication token authorizing the remote resource to communicate with the group-based communication system; and
further comprising facilitating user engagement of the remote data object in response to the remote resource validating the authentication token.
19. The system of claim 15 , further comprising:
receiving, from the remote resource, remote preview metadata for the remote data object;
generating, based on the remote preview metadata, a remote preview, and
automatically rendering the remote preview in response to a remote preview request.
20. The system of claim 19 , wherein the remote preview comprises image data or remote preview markup data.
