Interactive calling methods and systems

1. A method, comprising:

receiving, at a processor, a call initiation request from a caller device associated with a user and identified by a caller identifier, the call initiation request including the caller identifier, a callee identifier, and a call preview, wherein the call preview was input on the caller device;

determining, using the processor, using a database stored on an electronic storage device in electronic communication with the processor, a callee device associated with the callee identifier;

instructing, using the processor, a call interface to initiate a call, wherein the call interface is configured to connect the call to the caller device and the callee device;

sending, using the processor, call metadata to the callee device, the call metadata including the call preview;

receiving, at the processor, from the caller device or the callee device, a reaction while the call is in progress;

logging, using the processor, the reaction in a call summary; and

sending, using the processor, the call summary to at least one of the caller device or the callee device.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the reaction includes an emoji, a static reaction, or an animated reaction.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the reaction is selected on the callee device or the caller device from a group of reactions displayed on the callee device or the caller device while the call is in progress.

4. The method of claim 1 , further comprising sending, from the processor to an external social media resource, the call summary.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein:

the callee identifier is selected by the user of the caller device from a group of callee identifiers associated with the caller identifier; and

the callee identifier is selected by the user of the caller device by dragging a profile image associated with the callee identifier to a callee identifier landing zone.

6. A system, comprising:

a processor; and

an electronic storage device in electronic communication with the processor, the electronic storage device having a database stored thereon;

wherein the processor is configured to:

receive a call initiation request from a caller device associated with a user and identified by a caller identifier, the call initiation request including the caller identifier, the callee identifier, and a call preview, wherein the call preview was input on the caller device;

determine, using the database, a callee device associated with the callee identifier;

instruct a call interface to initiate a call, wherein the call interface is configured to connect the call to the caller device and the callee device; and

send call metadata to the callee device, the call metadata including the call preview.

7. The system of claim 6 , wherein the processor is further configured to receive from the caller device or the callee device, a reaction while the call is in progress.

8. The system of claim 7 , wherein the processor is further configured to log the reaction in a call summary.

9. The system of claim 8 , wherein the processor is further configured to send the call summary to at least one of the caller device or the callee device.

10. The system of claim 6 , wherein the call metadata composes a push notification, and wherein sending the call metadata to the callee device includes sending, using the processor, the push notification to the callee device.

11. The system of claim 6 , wherein the call interface is configured to implement voice-over-internet protocol.

12. The system of claim 6 , wherein the call interface is implemented using an external resource in electronic communication with the processor.

13. The system of claim 6 , wherein the call interface is implemented using the processor.

14. The system of claim 6 , wherein:

the call initiation request further includes an additional callee identifier;

the processor is further configured to determine, using the database, an additional callee device associated with the additional callee identifier; and

the call interface is further configured to connect the call to the additional callee device.

15. The system of claim 6 , wherein the callee identifier is selected by the user of the caller device by dragging a profile image associated with the callee identifier to a callee identifier landing zone.

16. The system of claim 6 , wherein the callee identifier is selected by the user of the caller device from a group of callee identifiers associated with the caller identifier.

17. The system of claim 16 , wherein each callee identifier of the group of callee identifiers is associated with a user profile which has opted-in to receiving communications from the user.

18. The system of claim 17 , wherein the processor is further configured to:

retrieve the group of callee identifiers from the database based on the caller identifier; and

send the group of callee identifiers to the caller device.

19. A tangible, non-transitory, computer-readable media having instructions thereupon which when implemented by a processor cause the processor to perform a method comprising:

receiving a call initiation request from a caller device associated with a user and identified by a caller identifier, the call initiation request including the caller identifier, the callee identifier, and a call preview, wherein the call preview was input on the caller device;

determining a callee device associated with the callee identifier;

instructing call interface to initiate a call, wherein the call interface is configured to connect the call to the caller device and the callee device; and

sending call metadata to the callee device, the call metadata including the call preview.

20. The tangible, non-transitory, computer-readable media of claim 19 , wherein the method further comprises:

receiving from the caller device or the callee device, a reaction while the call is in progress;

logging the reaction in a call summary; and

sending the call summary to at least one of the caller device or the callee device.
