Abstract
A system is provided that responds to a received transaction. The system detects a received transaction generated by a transaction initiator and associates a resource locator, such as a uniform resource locator (URL), with the received transaction. The URL is then provided to the transaction initiator. The URL associated with the received transaction may identify an Internet web page, which can be generated in response to the received transaction. The received transaction includes a request to receive a URL. The received transaction can be a telephone call initiated by a telephone caller. The system is also capable of identifying the transaction initiator and associating a URL with the received transaction based on the transaction initiator's identity. The transaction is received on a first communication medium and the URL is associated with a second communication medium.
