1. A computer-implemented method using a computer hardware system having a participant inclusion system, comprising:
receiving, from a messaging platform, electronic information including:
an electronic draft of an electronic communication,
a sender of the electronic communication, and
an initial recipient of the electronic communication;
selecting, based on word relevance scores and probabilistically-weighted distances, one of a plurality of recipient candidates for receiving the electronic communication; and
causing the messaging platform to automatically populate the electronic communication, as an added recipient of the electronic communication, with the selected one of the plurality of recipient candidates, wherein
the participant inclusion system is operatively coupled with the messaging platform and configured to:
compute the word relevance scores for each word in the electronic draft,
determine the probabilistically-weighted distances between the sender, the initial recipient of the electronic communication, and each of the plurality of recipient candidates, and
cause the electronic communication to be automatically directed, via the messaging platform, to the selected one of the plurality of recipient candidates,
the selected one of the plurality of recipient candidates is logically linked with a member of an organization associated with the sender, the initial recipient, and the plurality of recipient candidates, and
the messaging platform automatically populates the electronic draft with the member as another added recipient of the electronic communication, and
a number of the selected at least one of the plurality of recipient candidates is less than a number of plurality of recipient candidates thereby reducing a number of electronic communications being sent by the messaging platform and increasing an operative capacity of the messaging platform.
