Time Schedules

The Time Schedule lets you define and manage your organization’s working hours and exceptions for call flows during regular business hours, holidays, and special occasions.

When a Time Schedule is assigned to a user, it controls call delivery based on defined working hours and exceptions. Calls made outside these hours or during exceptions (e.g., holidays) will skip all contact methods for the user. The call will only attempt delivery during active working hours.
