METHODS FOR PROVIDING SUPPORT SERVICES VIA AN AVAILABLE COMMUNICATION CHANNEL BASED ON USER PREFERENCE AND CLIENT PREFERENCE

摘要

According to one aspect, a request is received at a services application programming interface (API) of a support center from a user for support services of a product. A first list of one or more communication channels that are available for the user to contact an agent of the support center is generated based on a second list of one or more communication channels preferred by the user and a third list of one or more communication channels preferred by a vendor associated with the product. The first list of one or more communication channels is transmitted via the service API to the user. In response to a selection of a communication channel from the first list, a communication session is established between the user and the agent via the selected communication channel for providing support services of the product on behalf of the vendor.
