Abstract

Disclosed embodiments may include a method that includes receiving profile data associated with a user, the profile data comprising a first phone number, receiving browsing data from a user device associated with the user, storing the browsing data with a store time, receiving a phone call from the first phone number at a call time, identifying the user from the first phone number, retrieving the browsing data, determining whether the store time is within a time threshold of the call time and whether the browsing data comprises trigger data. When the browsing data comprises the trigger data and the store time is within the time threshold of the call time, generate a customized audio IVR menu based on the browsing data and present the customized audio IVR menu to the user over the phone call.

Claims (46)

1. A communication menu generating system, comprising:

one or more processors; and

a memory in communication with the one or more processors and storing instructions that are configured to cause the communication menu generating system to:

receive browsing data from a user device associated with a user at a first time;

receive a phone call at a second time;

determine whether the first time is within a time threshold of the second time and whether the browsing data comprises trigger data;

when the browsing data comprises the trigger data and the first time is within the time threshold of the second time:

generate a customized audio IVR menu based on the browsing data; and

present the customized audio IVR menu to the user over the phone call.

2. The communication menu generating system of claim 1 , wherein the customized audio IVR menu comprises at least two menu options related to the trigger data.

3. The communication menu generating system of claim 2 , wherein the at least two menu options are ordered based on the trigger data.

4. The communication menu generating system of claim 1 , wherein the trigger data corresponds to a section of an application.

5. The communication menu generating system of claim 1 , wherein the trigger data corresponds to an error with a section of an application.

6. The communication menu generating system of claim 1 , wherein the trigger data corresponds to a deviation of typical interaction patterns of the user with an application.

7. The communication menu generating system of claim 1 , wherein the time threshold is thirty or sixty minutes.

8. The communication menu generating system of claim 1 , wherein the browsing data is received from the user device via a plug-in, an application, or both that have authenticated the user.

9. A system, comprising:

one or more processors; and

a memory in communication with the one or more processors and storing instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, are configured to cause the system to:

receive browsing data from a user device associated with a user;

receive a phone call from a first phone number that was previously stored in a database;

identify the user from the first phone number previously stored in the database;

determine whether the browsing data was received within a predetermined time threshold of a current time and comprises trigger data;

when the browsing data comprises the trigger data and was stored within the predetermined time threshold of the current time:

generate a customized audio interactive voice response (IVR) menu based on the browsing data; and

present the customized audio IVR menu to the user over the phone call.

10. The system of claim 9 , wherein the customized audio IVR menu comprise at least two menu items related to the trigger data.

11. The system of claim 9 , wherein the trigger data corresponds to a new loan application website or a new loan application section of an application.

12. The system of claim 9 , wherein the trigger data corresponds to a new credit card application website or a new credit card application section of an application.

13. The system of claim 9 , wherein the trigger data corresponds to placing a product or a service into an online cart.

14. The system of claim 9 , wherein the trigger data corresponds to an error on a webpage or on a section of an application.

15. The system of claim 9 , wherein the trigger data corresponds to a deviation of typical interaction patterns of the user.

16. The system of claim 9 , wherein the predetermined time threshold is thirty or sixty minutes.

17. The system of claim 9 , wherein the browsing data is received from the user device via a browser extension, a mobile application, or both that have authenticated the user.

18. A system, comprising:

one or more processors; and

a memory in communication with the one or more processors and storing instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, are configured to cause the system to:

receive, via a browser extension or an application at a first time, browsing data from a user device associated with a user that is authenticated with the browser extension or the application;

receive a call from the user;

determine whether the first time is within a time threshold of the call and whether the browsing data comprises trigger data;

when the browsing data comprises the trigger data and the first time is within the time threshold of the call:

generate a customized link for the user, the customized link, when activated, navigates the user device to a menu customized based on the trigger data; and

send the customized link to the user device.

19. The system of claim 18 , wherein the memory stores further instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, are further configured to cause the system to:

when the browsing data does not comprise the trigger data, monitor new browsing received for trigger data.

20. The system of claim 18 , wherein the trigger data corresponds to a section of an application.
