Business Hours & Holidays
Closed is a fact about the clock, not something every call flow decides for itself. Write the week and the holidays once, and every flow, queue, menu and campaign shuts at the same minute you do.

How it works.
A week, written once
Each day is on or off and carries its own open and close time. A window that closes earlier than it opens is read as running past midnight rather than as a closed day, so a night shift is a schedule rather than a workaround.
Holidays are their own list
A holiday calendar is named and holds dates: a single day, a range of days, or a date that returns every year by month and day. A range that crosses new year matches on both sides of it.
Change the hours in one place
Flows, menus, queues and campaigns reference a schedule instead of keeping hours of their own. The schedule's own active flag is the gate, so hours can be written and revised with enforcement still off.
Closed is a branch, not a dead end
Being closed is a branch, not a destination. The schedule answers open or closed and the flow that asked decides what follows: an announcement, a mailbox, another queue, or nothing at all. One schedule can end differently on every line.
Two moments in every call.
Every call passes through the same seven. Business Hours & Holidays is the lit ones, and everything either side of it is a different page in this category.
- 01Number
the line it arrives on or leaves from
- 02Route
where the call is sent and to whom
- 03Dial
placing it, and how many at once
- 04Connect

what is kept, and where it is kept
The specifics.
8 facts- Weekly rules
- Seven days, each on or off, with one open and one close time in 24-hour form
- Overnight
- A close earlier than the open reads as a window running past midnight
- Holidays
- Named calendars of single dates, ranges, or dates recurring by month and day
- Timezone
- Evaluated in the organization timezone; a schedule carries none of its own
- Reuse
- One schedule read by flows, menus, queues and campaigns, edited in one place
- Enforcement
- Queues and flows read it at call time; the schedule's active flag is the gate
- Routing
- Open and closed are branches; where a closed call goes is the flow's decision
- Limits
- One open window per day, so a day with two windows needs a second schedule
Where the call goes next.
A call is a chain of decisions, and this is one link in it. These are the ones either side.

20 capabilitiesFlows, queues, oversight and compliance screening on lines we run ourselves.
Coach a rep mid-call without the customer hearing it, then join outright if it turns. Moving between the three never drops the call or rings anyone again.
Reps stop sitting through ring-outs. More lines open than you have people, paced off your live answer rate, and the abandonment cap you set is a ceiling.
Hand the tempo to the rep on one campaign and take it back on the next. Preview waits for them to read the record; power opens lines the moment they are free.
Reps stop greeting voicemail. The line is judged person or machine before a headset is involved, so what lands in one is somebody who said hello.
Stop the same two people carrying the floor. Six answers to who gets asked first, changed on the queue you already have rather than built again from scratch.
A caller reaches somebody who can actually help. Agents short of the skill a queue asks for never see the call, and a failover catches what nobody can take.
A caller presses a digit, hangs up and keeps their place in line. Repeat requests merge, so nobody rings the same person twice about one problem.
Your best account stops waiting behind everybody else. Flag the lead and they skip the welcome and the cap, while aging keeps ordinary callers from starving.
Nobody re-explains themselves to the next person. Send the call straight on, or speak privately first, or merge to three and walk out without ending it.
When a call is disputed, who said the line is read off its own channel rather than argued out of the wording. Both sides captured, merged into one file.
One code is the whole of a rep's paperwork. Twenty-six behaviors hang off it, so the task, the callback and the do-not-call mark happen on their own.
A rep never has to choose which of your numbers to call from. Every one they may use is scored against the person being dialed, and they can still override.
Buy the number and it already knows where to send its calls. Search live carrier inventory, filter by country or by the digits it ends with, then claim it.
One number reaches a whole country and the caller pays nothing for it. Toll-free routes through the same flows and bills from the same wallet as local lines.
Selling into a country you have no office in still means a number that looks local. Four carrier providers, so a new market is a purchase, not a project.
The extension is the person, not the device. One number reaches your rep, and a live call walks from browser tab to desk phone without either side noticing.
A call nobody was going to answer still lands somewhere. Organization, team and personal boxes each decide who may listen, and every message is transcribed.
Where a supervisor picks which call to join. Every conversation currently up, who is on it, the queue it came through and how long it has run, changing live.
Text from the numbers you already call on. The thread sits beside the calls to that contact rather than in a second app nobody on the floor ever opens.
Everything a caller hears that is not a person. Before you replace a prompt, the page names the menus, queues and mailboxes still playing the one you have.
The rest of the platform.
Five more categories, all on the same record and the same bill. Each card names three of its capabilities, so you can tell from here whether it is worth opening.
