Customizable widget for interactive services in email messages
A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11671390B2) describes a system for customizing and inserting interactive widgets into email messages. The system includes a processing device and a memory device that stores instructions for executing various functions.
The system receives a widget insertion request associated with an email message and generates a widget suggestion based on the role defined in the profile of the user editing the email message and/or the role defined in the profile of the recipient. The widget suggestion is then outputted to a user interface for editing the email message. The system allows for customizing the options of the widget based on user selections. Once customized, the widget is inserted into the body of the email message.
The inserted widget provides interactive services to the recipient of the email message, triggering subsequent interactions between the recipient system and an application or service through a network. The widget passes data from the widget to the application or service without requiring direct input from the recipient. Finally, the email message with the widget is sent to the recipient, allowing them to interact with the widget upon receiving the email message.
The system also includes features such as the ability for the widget to interface with a web application using a unique link to capture responses from the recipient. It can combine static and dynamic user interface elements, including videos, and open web pages to present questions to the recipient and capture their responses. The system can also launch a chatbot that interfaces with a transcription service to capture interactions between the recipient and the chatbot.
Additionally, the system includes features for creating generation and response records of the widget, scheduling follow-up actions based on recipient responses, and storing these records in a data storage system. It can also track recipient interactions with the widget, classify the results, compare them to success thresholds, and modify widget suggestion models based on performance targets.
The system utilizes sender and recipient identifiers in the email message header to determine the roles and access constraints of the user and recipient.
Overall, this patented system enables the customization and insertion of interactive widgets into email messages, providing recipients with a dynamic and engaging experience.
