Business Hours

Last Updated : Sep 18, 2024 |

The Business Hours task checks whether the customer calls within the working hours. You can configure how the workflow proceeds depending on the timetable check:

  • If the contact center is open, you can configure the workflow to connect customers with agents.

  • If the contact center is closed, you can configure the workflow to provide automated treatment to customers or end the interaction.

  • If the contact center receives an error, you can end the interaction or proceed with the workflow as it would if Orchestration used no timetable check.
