    摘要: A system and method are presented for omni-channel notification and selection. A first party selects a first channel from a plurality of channels based on an estimated wait time for interaction with another party in a contact center or enterprise setting. The plurality of channels may comprise any means of interaction, such as chat, phone call, SMS, video, etc. While waiting in queue for the preferred first channel, the first party is presented with estimated wait times, which are dynamically updated, for other channels. Based on the first party's preferences and the presented estimated wait times for the other channels, the first party may elect to change interaction channels from the first channel to a second channel. The first party may then be moved to a different queue corresponding to the second interaction channel.
