Routing Calls By Time Frame

This article will provide a walkthrough on routing calls for specific timeframes and destinations.

Calls can be routed for specific times by setting up the inbound rules and setting a specified time frame on the inbound rule. An inbound rule will need to be set in order correctly route the call to the desired destinations for during business hours and outside of business hours. Once the destinations have been plugged in, the timeframes for the desired routing will need to be set.
