Identity information linking

Abstract:

A system, method, and computer-readable media for linking identify information between a group-based communication system and an external application based on a user authorization to share credentials. After sharing the user's credentials, the user may be authenticated with the external application and user data from the group-based communication system may be shared with the external application. Additionally, a preview of a web resource associated with the external application may be displayed to the user within the group-based communication system allowing the user to interact with the web resource from within the group-based communication system.
