A. A computer-implemented method comprising: receiving a first message associated with a group-based communication platform, wherein the first message is associated with first metadata; receiving a second message associated with the group-based communication platform, wherein the second message is associated with second metadata; causing, based at least in part on the first metadata and the second metadata, the first message and the second message to be presented in a message digest via a first portion of a user interface associated with the group-based communication platform, wherein the message digest is associated with an actuation mechanism; and in response to receiving an indication of an interaction with the actuation mechanism, causing the first message and the second message to be presented via a second portion of the user interface.
B. The computer-implemented method of paragraph A, wherein: the first metadata is associated with an indication that the first message is associated with a first priority and, wherein the first message is presented via the second portion of the user interface in association with a first presentation characteristic based on the first priority; and wherein the second metadata is associated with an indication that the second message is associated with a second priority and, wherein the second message is presented via the second portion of the user interface in association with a second presentation characteristic.
C. The computer-implemented method of paragraph B, wherein the first priority and the second priority are different priorities, and wherein the first presentation characteristic and the second presentation characteristic are different presentation characteristics.
