Abstract
A request is received from a user device to connect with an agent, the request including information describing an interactive event representing a user interaction with a link embedded within a first message presented at the user device. A user device ID identifying the user device is determined based on the request. The interactive event is examined to determine whether the interactive event satisfies a predetermined condition based on a set of one or more rules. In response to determining that the interactive event satisfies the predetermined condition, a first agent device ID is determined that identifies a first agent device of a first agent who initiated and sent the first message to the user device. A communication session is established between the user device and the first agent device based on the user device ID and the first agent device ID.
