An example method includes receiving a command indicative of a request to perform an app-less API call in the group-based communication platform, wherein the command comprises electronic information indicative of a requested API method name and a set of requested call parameters. The example method further includes generating an app-less API call based on the requested API method name and the set of requested call parameters. The example method further includes generating a response to the app-less API call. The example method further includes generating an app-less API call response message based on the command and the response to the app-less API call. Subsequently, the example method includes generating an ephemeral command response message based on the app-less API call response message.
