US Patent 11410099 Flexible routing of outbound contact requests

Systems, methods, and computer media for routing outbound contact requests are provided herein. The described examples allow routing and execution of outbound contact requests of different types, such as voice call, voice message, text message, chat, and email. Routing rules govern the routing of scheduled, automatic, and push-delayed outbound contact requests based on the type of outbound contact request and parameters associated with the request. Routing can include, for example, queuing a request for an agent, scheduling a request for release at a specified time, reserving a request for delayed push, or automatically executing an outbound contact event corresponding to the request.
