Method, apparatus and computer program product for generating externally shared communication channels

Abstract:

Methods, apparatus and computer program product for creating an externally shared communication channel in a group-based communication platform are described herein. An externally shared communication channel generation request can be received, which can include a first group identification and a second group identification. In response to determining that a client device is associated with the first group identification and/or the second group identification, an internally shared communication channel list and an externally shared communication channel list can be displayed in the channel list pane of the group-based communication interface. The externally shared communication channel list can be associated with one or more externally shared communication channels. In an example, the channel list pane can further comprise an externally shared communication channel status indicator associated with individual of the one or more externally shared communication channels that indicates that an associated group-based communication channel is externally shared.
