Configuring business hour schedules

Multimedia Contact Center performs certain tasks during business hours and other tasks after hours. For example, the system can send auto-response messages to interactions received after hours, informing customers that the contact center is closed and to expect a response during business hours. Applying a business hours schedule to workflows tells the system when to send this message.

Multimedia Contact Center ships with a default 24/7 business hour schedule and a default Monday to Friday 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM business hour schedule. Administrators can
  • Modify the default business hours schedules
  • Create new business hour schedules
  • Manage business hour schedule exclusion lists to omit days from schedules, such as national holidays.
  • Apply business hour schedules to workflows
