Abstract

A method of facilitating an outbound customer interaction involves monitoring user access activity, and automatically accumulating access data concerning such user access activity, with respect to a resource retrieved from one or more network locations (e.g., identified by URLs). The user access to the one or more network locations typically occurs via a user device coupled to a network to facilitate the access to the network locations. A trigger event is then detected based on the user access activity as reflected by the accumulated access data.
