Abstract
A communication system for conducting an interaction with customers using social media is provided. The communication system can include a social media gateway and a dialog system. The social media gateway can receive messages from social media networks and translate those messages into a form readable and usable by the dialog system. The dialog system, in turn, accepts the social media messages and associates those messages with one or more dialog structures. A dialog structure includes a set of executable rules that allow the dialog system to automatically respond to the social media message or refer that message to an appropriate human agent. With the social media gateway and the dialog system, the communication system is operable to interact with customers across different social media networks.
