Methods, apparatuses and computer program products for detecting active usage of a group- based communication system and rendering a trigger component to an associated interface

Abstract:

An apparatus is provided for detecting active usage of a group-based communication system having a group-based communication interface. The apparatus includes a memory and processor(s) configured to detect group-based activity data stored in the memory of the apparatus. The processor is further configured to determine an active user subset of a group-based communication system user group based on the group-based activity data. The processor is further configured to compare the active user subset to a predetermined user activity threshold. The processor is further configured to, in circumstances where the active user subset satisfies the predetermined user activity threshold, render a trigger component to the group-based communication interface. Corresponding methods and computer program products are also provided.
