Abstract
Techniques are described for expediting communications between a first person of an organization associated with a communication platform and a second person not associated with the organization. The first person requests for the communication platform to generate an invitation to communicate with the second person. The first person provides the invitation to the second person directly or via the communication platform. Responsive to receiving an indication that the second person accepts the invitation, the communication platform identifies whether the second person is associated with the communication platform. If the second user is associated with the communication platform, the communication platform modifies an existing user interface associated therewith to enable communications between the first person and the second person. If the second person is not associated with the communication platform, the communication platform generates a limited functionality user interface to enable the communications between the first person and the second person.
