Abstract: Email has become commonplace as a means to communicate among parties non-synchronously by exchanging email messages. Some communications, however, may be more effective in real-time or in near real-time. For instance, service providers may offer a chat feature to accommodate real-time or near real-time help or service communications with customers. However, in this case, the user is likely required to enter credentials and/or context information to transition into a different communication type with the service provider. The present systems and methods provide a continuous conversation experience for the user whereby a message recipient of one message type (e.g., email, text, etc.) may continue a conversation in a different message type (e.g., a chat session, instant message, etc.) without manually providing message context for communicating via the second message type.
