Abstract
An omni-channel adapter receives a request to create a communication session for a customer. Based on the request, the omni-channel adapter selects a channel-specific orchestrator. The request is modified, or a new request is generated, to suit the selected channel-specific orchestrator. The channel-specific request is sent to the channel-specific orchestrator. In response, the channel-specific orchestrator creates the communication session. Further communications between the customer and the channel-specific orchestrator may also be intermediated by the omni-channel adapter, which may maintain state information about the communication session. For example, a unique identifier may be generated by the omni-channel adapter or the channel-specific orchestrator for the communication session. A request by the customer to add an additional device to the communication session may include the identifier of the session. Based on the identifier of the session, the omni-channel adapter identifies the channel-specific orchestrator for the communication session.
