Patent number: 12120267Abstract: Customers often call a contact center to resolve an issue only to find the contact center cannot resolve the customer's issue and instead requires a third party to perform some action. By monitoring a customer's communication with an agent, an automated process may generate a workflow to address the issue comprising at least one action to be performed by a third party. The third party is then contacted, in real-time or offline, and provided with their actions to be performed. Records are written to a blockchain describing authentications, actions to take and by whom, and the completion of such actions. The resulting success, or lack thereof, is provided as feedback to further refine the accuracy of the automatic determinations of the workflow and/or the identity of the particular third parties.Type: GrantFiled: May 18, 2022Date of Patent: October 15, 2024Assignee: Avaya Management L.P.Inventors: Kevin R.

Publication number: 20240250921Abstract: Virtual agents may be deployed to conduct a communication with a customer to determine and resolve a work item. During the communication, the virtual agent may need to obtain or provide information to other entities. However, coding a virtual agent to perform such communications is difficult and error prone. By providing a messaging system with a central repository, the virtual agent may register an interest in another entity, group of entities, the state of one or more entities, or information contained therein via messaging to a central repository. The central repository then provides callback messages to the virtual agent that matches the interest or any other conditions specified.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 20, 2023Publication date: July 25, 2024Inventors: Reinhard P.
