Description

TECHNICAL FIELD This disclosure relates generally to group-based communication systems. More particularly, and without limitation, the present disclosure relates to innovations in dynamically updating group-based communication systems. Certain aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to systems and methods for dynamically updating data structures associated with group-based communication channels. Other aspects of the present disclosure generally relate to improvements in systems and methods for dynamically updating multiple connected graphical interfaces that provide particular advantages in group-based communication channels. BACKGROUND The inventors here have recognized several problems that may be associated with existing group-based communication systems. In a given group-based communication system, there may be many different communication channels. Each communication channel may accumulate a vast multitude of data (e.g., messages, files, and information) over time, only a subset of which may be important to a particular user. Many systems lack capabilities for automatically organizing and reducing the amount of accumulated data, leading to unnecessary burdening of electronic storage resources, and also creating non-user-friendly difficulties for users to locate, track, or otherwise manage said important data across the different communication channels and amidst data not important to said particular user (but may be important to another user). Moreover, as some of this data is also included in electronic communications, conventional systems overuse bandwidth by included unnecessary accumulations of data. Thus, there is a need for improved systems and methods for dynamically updating group-based communication systems and associated graphical interfaces. SUMMARY The present disclosure relates generally to group-based communication systems. More particularly, and without limitation, the present disclosure relates to innovations in dynamically updating one or more data structures of group-based communication systems. For example, certain aspects of the present disclosure relate to dynamically updating a database of a group-based communication system in response to detected interactions or conditions. Further, certain embodiments may update one or more graphical interfaces based on the updates to the database.

Another aspect of the present disclosure comprises a computer-implemented method for dynamically updating a data structure, comprising: detecting, within a group communication channel represented within a first graphical user interface, a text string with at least one digital indicator designated to automatically trigger generation of at least one removable indicator associated with the text string; generating, in response to the detecting of the at least one digital indicator, a first removable indicator within the first graphical user interface, wherein the first graphical user interface includes a first graphical removal element associated with the first removable indicator; generating, in response to the detecting of the at least one digital indicator, a second removable indicator within a second graphical user interface, wherein the second graphical user interface includes a second graphical removal element associated with the second removable indicator; detecting a single user interaction at the first graphical remov
