Abstract
Methods, systems, apparatuses, devices, and computer program products are described. A group-based communication system may support domain and invite management, for example, for a group-based communication channel. A first user may create a channel invite and may add an email address for a second user to the invite. The second user may have multiple accounts in the group-based communication system. The system may determine that the domain of the second user's email address has an organization configured as the primary organization for the domain, and the system may automatically configure the invite to correspond to an account for the second user that is associated with the domain's primary organization. The system may route the invite to the account associated with the primary organization and may send the invite (e.g., a channel invite to the group-based communication channel) to a second user device associated with the second user.
