Direct SIP and Office Hours configuration?

Postby pacpac » Thu Jan 12, 2012 8:22 pm

Hi, I am running the latest version of 3CX. How can I set up the Office Hours when calls are coming in via Direct SIP (calls are not routed via VoIP provider) to an Extension? I would like to have so calls are sent to a my recorded voicemail message between, let's say, 7pm and 7am. Inside office hours I need to have the calls sent to an IVR if no answer and if busy/unreachable.

I would set up an extension just for the purpose of taking the direct SIP calls. Then use forwarding rules to send the calls depending on office hours. Does that help?

Yes, that helps, but how can I transfer to an IVR outside Office Hours set for that Extension, it looks like I can only transfer to generic voicemail prompt.

go to extension status--->double click on extension--->Forwarding Rules--->out of office--->you will see options on how calls should be redirected outside of office hours. You can do that for each extension.
