Configure custom Date/Time groups for business hours, out of office hours, holidays, or other events to route your calls accordingly.
How it works
Active Times feature routes calls to Forwarding Rules based on configured time groups.
The time at which a call arrives is matched with configured time groups sequentially and the call proceeds through the matched time group path.
For example, we have 2 time groups
- Business hours/Open hours - 9:00 AM to 5 PM [routed to] → Support Team
- After hours- 5PM to 8PM [routed to] → Voicemail
If a call arrives at 10 AM, call proceeds through business hours path
If a call arrives at 7 PM, call proceeds through After hours path
