Abstract

A server receives a request from a user device of a user to contact an agent. In response to the request, a list of agents are identified by matching a user profile of the user with agent profiles of the agents. A workflow is generated based on the identified agents using a workflow template, the workflow including multiple workflow stages. A first communication session is established between the user device and a first agent device of a first agent associated with a first workflow stage. It is determined whether a first criteria associated with the first workflow stage has been satisfied based on the first communication session. In response to determining that the first criteria has been satisfied, a second communication session is established between the user device and a second agent device of a second agent associated with a second workflow stage.
