Redirect Que/Digital Receptionist based on time of day

[TCF]

We have a Digital Receptionist and a Que, our main office is open until 4, but Customer Service closes at 5pm, is there a way to redirect a caller to a different Digital Receptionist if they are calling off hours. For example when they first call our office instead of going to the usual Digital Receptionist it would go to a different one that say the following.


Our office hours are 8AM to 4PM Eastern Monday through Friday. Customer service remains open until 5PM eastern. All other departments are closed at this time.

Configuration for Incoming calls to trunks and extensions all have controls to handle routing for calls during office hours or outside office hours. Additionally, the "office hours" can be based on global system settings or can be customized for the specific extension/trunk/DID.

If you can't accomplish what you want by office hours setting on the incoming trunk, you can create some extra unassigned extensions for routing purposes. Assign custom office hours to the extension and set the forwarding rules accordingly to direct the extension calls to a DR or queue. Then you can route calls through that extension to handle special schedules.
