Abstract

Managing redundant multi-channel interactions in a contact center includes determining that the contact center has received a first contact and a second contact via respective channels, the second contact being received while the first contact is on-going. Managing also includes identifying that the first contact and the second contact are redundant or relate to an unknown topic and inquiring of the customer as to whether to proceed with either one or both of the first contact or the second contact. Furthermore, continuing with at least one of the first contact or the second contact is performed based on the response, each of the first contact and the second contact associated with a respective wait queue. Then one or both of the contacts can be assigned to an agent.
