Abstract

A system, method, and computer program product are provided herein. An example system apparatus configured to provide synchronous delivery of active media and electronic marketing communications to a client, the apparatus including a processor including one or more processing devices configured to perform independently or in tandem to execute hard-coded functions or execute software instructions, and a memory including one or more volatile or non-volatile electronic storage devices storing computer-readable instructions, the computer-readable instructions being configured, when executed, to cause the processor to receive the electronic marketing communications, receive the active media, wherein the active media corresponds to the electronic marketing communications, synchronize the active media and the electronic marketing communications based at least in part on one or more receipt identifiers, and provide the active media and the electronic marketing communications to the client device.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
That which is claimed: 
     
         1 . An apparatus comprising a processor and a non-transitory memory storing program instructions, wherein the non-transitory memory and the program instructions are configured to, with the processor, cause the apparatus to:
 receive electronic communications, wherein the electronic communications comprise one or more electronic communication timestamps encoded in electronic communication metadata of the electronic communications;   receive active media, wherein the active media corresponds to the electronic communications, wherein the active media comprises one or more active media timestamps encoded in active media metadata of the active media;   synchronize the active media and the electronic communications based at least in part on the one or more active media timestamps and the one or more electronic communication timestamps; and   provide a synchronous integration interface, wherein the synchronous integration interface comprises renderings of the electronic communications and the active media and is configured to receive active updates to one or more promotion components associated with the electronic communications.   
     
     
         2 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the synchronous integration interface comprises a promotion expiration indicator configured to indicate a promotion duration period. 
     
     
         3 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the synchronous integration interface comprises a promotion queue configured to indicate one or more subsequent promotions. 
     
     
         4 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the one or more promotion components comprise a promotional value, a discount value, and an active sync component. 
     
     
         5 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the synchronous integration interface comprises an active notification configured to indicate availability of the electronic communications. 
     
     
         6 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the non-transitory memory and the program instructions are configured to, with the processor, cause the apparatus to:
 receive, via a production control manager, the active updates to the one or more promotion components in response to dual delivery management circuitry receiving an audio trigger.   
     
     
         7 . The apparatus of  claim 6 , wherein the production control manager is configured to indicate one or more synchronous integration identifiers associated with the synchronous integration interface. 
     
     
         8 . A computer-implemented method comprising:
 receiving electronic communications, wherein the electronic communications comprise one or more electronic communication timestamps encoded in electronic communication metadata of the electronic communications;   receiving active media, wherein the active media corresponds to the electronic communications, wherein the active media comprises one or more active media timestamps encoded in active media metadata of the active media;   synchronizing the active media and the electronic communications based at least in part on the one or more active media timestamps and the one or more electronic communication timestamps; and   providing a synchronous integration interface, wherein the synchronous integration interface comprises renderings of the electronic communications and the active media and is configured to receive active updates to one or more promotion components associated with the electronic communications.   
     
     
         9 . The computer-implemented method of  claim 8 , wherein the synchronous integration interface comprises a promotion expiration indicator configured to indicate a promotion duration period. 
     
     
         10 . The computer-implemented method of  claim 8 , wherein the synchronous integration interface comprises a promotion queue configured to indicate one or more subsequent promotions. 
     
     
         11 . The computer-implemented method of  claim 8 , wherein the one or more promotion components comprise a promotional value, a discount value, and an active sync component. 
     
     
         12 . The computer-implemented method of  claim 8 , wherein the synchronous integration interface comprises an active notification configured to indicate availability of the electronic communications. 
     
     
         13 . The computer-implemented method of  claim 8 , further comprising:
 receiving, via a production control manager, the active updates to the one or more promotion components in response to dual delivery management circuitry receiving an audio trigger.   
     
     
         14 . The computer-implemented method of  claim 13 , wherein the production control manager is configured to indicate one or more synchronous integration identifiers associated with the synchronous integration interface. 
     
     
         15 . A computer program product comprising at least one non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having computer-readable program code portions stored therein, the computer-readable program code portions comprising an executable portion configured to:
 receive electronic communications, wherein the electronic communications comprise one or more electronic communication timestamps encoded in electronic communication metadata of the electronic communications;   receive active media, wherein the active media corresponds to the electronic communications, wherein the active media comprises one or more active media timestamps encoded in active media metadata of the active media;   synchronize the active media and the electronic communications based at least in part on the one or more active media timestamps and the one or more electronic communication timestamps; and   provide a synchronous integration interface, wherein the synchronous integration interface comprises renderings of the electronic communications and the active media and is configured to receive active updates to one or more promotion components associated with the electronic communications.   
     
     
         16 . The computer program product of  claim 15 , wherein the synchronous integration interface comprises a promotion expiration indicator configured to indicate a promotion duration period. 
     
     
         17 . The computer program product of  claim 15 , wherein the synchronous integration interface comprises a promotion queue configured to indicate one or more subsequent promotions. 
     
     
         18 . The computer program product of  claim 15 , wherein the one or more promotion components comprise a promotional value, a discount value, and an active sync component. 
     
     
         19 . The computer program product of  claim 15 , wherein the synchronous integration interface comprises an active notification configured to indicate availability of the electronic communications. 
     
     
         20 . The computer program product of  claim 15 , wherein the computer-readable program code portions comprising the executable portion configured to:
 receive, via a production control manager, the active updates to the one or more promotion components in response to dual delivery management circuitry receiving an audio trigger.
