Time Groups

In the Time Groups section, you can set up working and non-working hours for agents to enable time-based call routing. Since agents work in shifts, this service is essential for call centres operating 24/7. It allows the assignment of agents to specific groups, known as time groups, and ensures that incoming calls are routed only to agents within the active time group. For example, an agent working a night shift will automatically start receiving calls upon logging in. This functionality significantly reduces the burden on supervisors, as they no longer need to manually assign calls to agents.
