  • Patent number: 12039262
    Abstract: A processor receives a request to communicate a source data using a preferred communication channel and obtains a first set of communication templates that correspond to a type of the source data and the preferred communication channel. The processor determines that no communication template in the first set includes a template associated with an overall performance indicator that equals or exceeds a first threshold. The pressor selects from the first set of communication templates, one or more communication templates that are associated with the highest values of the overall performance indicator. The processor then obtains an individual performance indicator associated with each multimedia component included in the selected one or more communication templates and generates a custom communication template by adding multimedia components having high individual performance indicators.
