What is Business Hours Routing?

Choose how your calls get answered after hours.

Automatically direct calls depending on the time. Send callers to one answering point during business hours and another one after hours. Combine this feature with our Voice to Email feature or a Virtual Call Centre, and you get work-life balance without missing a single enquiry.

Why use Business Hours Routing?

Serve your customers without sacrificing downtime.

Automated call diversion

Capture every opportunity whether you’re in the office or at home. Business hours routing automates your call diversion. Before and after hours, incoming calls go to your chosen answering point or service.

Affordable call management option

Easily switch between business hours and after hours call options. Send calls to one of your two set answering points during open hours.

Stop taking calls in your downtime

Bring back work-life balance. Combine call diversion with features like voice-to-email or call alerts. Keep your finger on the pulse without disrupting personal or family time.

How does it work?

I no longer lose a potential lead when I don’t want to pick up the phone. And I can easily follow up enquiries the next day – or when it suits me.

Zintel Customer Case Study

Andrew runs a plumbing business on the lower north shore. He likes to use his mobile for answering his calls, but wants to separate his business and personal life. Zintel’s Business Hours Routing allows him to answer his 0508 number calls on his mobile from 7am-4pm while he’s working.

Then once he’s finished work, calls go straight to voicemail and he also receives Call Alert via SMS with the details of the caller for later follow-up. Andrew found that it gave him back his personal time.
