Business Hours & After-Hours Call Routing

Call Routing & Scheduling

Business Hours

Set custom working hours, time zones, and holiday schedules for every queue and IVR. Outside business hours, calls route automatically — no agent action needed.

Nectar Desk business hours settings let managers define custom working hours, time zones, and holiday schedules for each queue and IVR menu. Outside business hours, calls are automatically redirected to voicemail, another number, or a custom message — no agent action needed.

Per-Queue Schedules

Set different business hours for each department, queue, or IVR menu — sales can have different hours than support.

Time Zone Aware

Configure hours in any time zone so callers in different regions get the correct in-hours or after-hours experience.

Holiday Schedules

Define one-off holiday closures that override the standard weekly schedule for specific dates.

After-Hours Routing

Automatically send calls to voicemail, an external number, or a custom message when your team is offline.

Real-Time Override

Supervisors can manually toggle a queue to after-hours mode instantly — useful during unexpected closures or emergencies.
