Abstract
The techniques disclosed herein improve existing systems by rendering a first user interface (UI) on a device of a member in a defined group, including messages being communicated between the defined group of users of the communication session. A selection of a message set including a subset of the messages of the defined group is received for corresponding with a non-member user who is not a member of the defined group. The selected message set is delivered to the non-member user. A second UI is rendered including the selected message set and subsequent messages exchanged between the non-member user and a subset of the users in the defined group directed to the selected message set. Full access is not provided to other subsequent messages in the defined group not directed to the selected message set. Subsequent messages exchanged between the non-member user and the defined group are rendered. The subsequent messages are rendered in context of messages prior to the selected message.
