Abstract

Processing customer communications may include receiving a communication from a customer device via a first communication medium, retrieving a customer record associated with the customer device, determining the customer record has a pending status associated with a logged customer device action, transmitting an optional display link to the customer device via a second communication medium different from the first communication medium, receiving a selection from the customer device associated with the optional display link, identifying a third party candidate for processing the customer device action based on the at least one selection, transmitting a request to process the customer device action to the third party candidate, and transmitting a notification to the customer device responsive to receiving confirmation of the request from the third party candidate.
