1. A machine-implemented method for enhanced customer support comprising:
- processing a first communication from a customer via a first communication service;
automatically obtaining a first classification, included in a plurality of predefined classifications for customer support issues, associated with the first communication;
establishing a second communication between the customer and a customer service representative, wherein the first communication and the second communication correspond to separate requests for customer support by the customer; and
displaying to the customer service representative information about the first communication with an indication that the first classification is associated with the first communication;
determining that a threshold number of customer requests corresponding to the first classification have been submitted; and
identifying, in response to the determination, the first classification as a problem to be proactively addressed.

10. A machine-implemented method for enhanced customer support comprising:
-
automatically determining a first plurality of classifications for customer support issues corresponding to a plurality of customer communications processed via a first communication service; automatically determining a second plurality of classifications for customer support issues corresponding to a plurality of customer communications processed via a second communication service; determining a plurality of common classifications for customer support issues based on the first plurality of categories and the second plurality of categories; automatically determining that a first classification, included in the plurality of common classifications, is associated with a first communication processed via the first communication service, wherein the first communication is separate from the plurality of customer communications processed via the first communication service; and automatically determining that a second classification, included in the plurality of common classifications, is associated with a second communication processed via the second communication service, wherein the second communication is separate from the plurality of customer communications processed via the second communication service; determining that a threshold number of customer requests corresponding to at least one of the first classification or the second classification have been submitted; and identifying, in response to determining of the threshold, the respective first classification or second classification as a problem to be proactively addressed. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14)

15. A system for enhanced customer support, the system comprising:
-
one or more processors; and a machine-readable medium comprising instructions stored therein, which when executed by the processors, cause the processors to perform operations comprising; processing a first communication from a customer via a first communication service; automatically obtaining a first classification, included in a plurality of predefined classifications for customer support issues, associated with the first communication; establishing a second communication between the customer and a customer service representative, wherein the first communication and the second communication correspond to separate requests for customer support by the customer; obtaining a pre-generated solution for resolving an issue associated with the first classification; and displaying the pre-generated solution to the customer service representative; determining that a threshold number of customer requests corresponding to the first classification have been submitted; and identifying, in response to the determination, the first classification as a problem to be proactively addressed. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19)

20. A non-transitory machine-readable medium comprising instructions stored therein, which when executed by a machine, cause the machine to perform operations comprising:
-
processing a first communication from a customer via a first communication service; automatically obtaining a first classification, included in a plurality of predefined classifications for customer support issues, associated with the first communication, wherein the first classification is predetermined to be associated with a resource requested in the first communication; establishing a second communication between the customer and a customer service representative, wherein the first communication and the second communication correspond to separate requests for customer support by the customer; and displaying to the customer service representative information about the first communication with an indication that the first classification is associated with the first communication; determining that a threshold number of customer requests corresponding to the first classification have been submitted; and identifying, in response to the determination, the first classification as a problem to be proactively addressed. - View Dependent Claims (21, 22, 23, 24)
