Abstract

According to some example embodiments, in a method for managing a contact center, the method includes: receiving, by a processor, an instruction to initiate a plurality of outbound communications; identifying, by the processor, a plurality of time slots for each of a plurality of communication channels; assigning, by the processor, users to the time slots for one or more of the communication channels; and transmitting, by the processor, an outbound communication, by way of a corresponding communication channel, to each of the users assigned to one of the time slots.

Claims (34)

1 . A method for managing a contact center, the method comprising:

receiving, by a processor, an instruction to initiate a plurality of outbound communications;

identifying, by the processor, a plurality of time slots for each of a plurality of communication channels;

assigning, by the processor, users to the time slots for one or more of the communication channels; and

transmitting, by the processor, an outbound communication, by way of a corresponding communication channel, to each of the users assigned to one of the time slots.

2 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising identifying, by the processor, a user contact list and corresponding profile data.

3 . The method of claim 2 , further comprising assigning, by the processor, the users from the user contact list to the time slots based on a relative value of the users.

4 . The method of claim 3 , further comprising determining, by the processor, the relative value of the users based on the corresponding profile data of the users.

5 . The method of claim 2 , further comprising determining, by the processor, a best time to contact one or more users in the user contact list.

6 . The method of claim 2 , further comprising sorting, by the processor, the user contact list according to a relative value of users in the user contact list.

7 . The method of claim 6 , further comprising determining, by the processor, the relative value of the users in the user contact list based on user profile information.

8 . The method of claim 6 , further comprising determining, by the processor, the relative value of the users in the user contact list according to a scheduling deep learning algorithm.

9 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the outbound communication for at least one user is a social media expression.

10 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the corresponding communication channel for the outbound communication for one or more of the users is a social media platform communication channel.

11 . A system for managing a contact center, the system comprising:

a processor; and

a memory coupled to the processor, wherein the memory stores instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to:

receive an instruction to initiate a plurality of outbound communications;

identify a plurality of time slots for each of a plurality of communication channels;

assign users to the time slots for one or more of the communication channels; and

transmit an outbound communication, by way of a corresponding communication channel, to each of the users assigned to one of the time slots.

12 . The system of claim 11 , wherein the instructions further cause the processor to identify a user contact list and corresponding profile data.

13 . The system of claim 12 , wherein the instructions further cause the processor to assign the users from the user contact list to the time slots based on a relative value of the users.

14 . The system of claim 13 , wherein the instructions further cause the processor to determine the relative value of the users based on the corresponding profile data of the users.

15 . The system of claim 12 , wherein the instructions further cause the processor to determine a best time to contact one or more users in the user contact list.

16 . The system of claim 12 , wherein the instructions further cause the processor to sort the user contact list according to a relative value of users in the user contact list.

17 . The system of claim 16 , wherein the instructions further cause the processor to determine the relative value of the users in the user contact list based on user profile information.

18 . The system of claim 11 , wherein the outbound communication for at least one user is a social media expression.

19 . The system of claim 11 , wherein the corresponding communication channel for the outbound communication for one or more of the users is a social media platform communication channel.

20 . A system for managing a contact center, the system comprising:

means for receiving an instruction to initiate a plurality of outbound communications;

means for identifying a plurality of time slots for each of a plurality of communication channels;

means for assigning users to the time slots for one or more of the communication channels; and

means for transmitting an outbound communication, by way of a corresponding communication channel, to each of the users assigned to one of the time slots.
