Activate answerphone alternate Saturdays?

[nothingmuch]

Hi,
I have a client that needs to be able to have their answerphone active alternate Saturdays (ie. they only open every other Saturday).

I've thought of adding every "closed" Saturday as a holiday, but this is quite laborious. Alternatively, I wondered about all Saturday's being "closed" and then having a manual override on the days they are working.

Has anyone achieved something similar in the past in a relatively simple way?

Use a CFD, it's much easier this way.

Thanks, I checked the CFD but still have to ultimately add every day one by one. I guess that's the only option for the time being.

More or less. There are ways to check the day name only, then have a log or something that saves the last time it was switched to allow 1/2 saturdays.

Thanks. I did consider triggering it with an API, but will manually add the dates for now.

You can use a 3CX Global Parameter that you set to 0 or 1 and toggle it automatically each week so that (if 1, set to 0 and route) (if 0, set to 1 and do nothing else) [that way, next saturday you can check again]

Obviously it's a bit more complex to set it up initially but other than that it would work more easily.
