Availability

Calls on your schedule – not by chance

Decide exactly how calls are handled during and outside business hours: answer, announce, forward, or capture for follow-up.

Sound familiar?

What changes
  • Calls outside office hours are completely lost.

  • On-call employees receive every call, including non-urgent ones.

  • Callers don’t know when they will receive help.

  • Departments and locations have different availability.

What changes

Availability becomes configurable – as overflow, fallback, and clear after-hours logic.

  • Fewer lost after-hours requests

    Outside hours, announcements, capture, or targeted forwarding apply.

  • Less unnecessary on-call load

    Only cases that your rules allow reach people.

  • Clearer expectations

    Callers hear what happens now and what comes next.

  • Different teams mapped

    Windows and destinations can vary by agent and target.

How it works

  1. Set the hours

    Define per-agent time zones and weekly availability windows.

  2. Choose behavior per window

    Answer and handle inside hours – announce, forward, or capture outside.

  3. Combine with routing

    Schedule-aware destinations make transfers respect availability.

What qutee can do

  • Per-agent time zones

    Local times instead of one global clock.

  • Multiple weekly windows

    Different blocks for weekdays and shifts.

  • Outside-hours announcements

    Clear information when nobody is available.

  • Outside-hours forwarding

    Targeted fallback to on-call or emergency destinations.

  • Schedule-aware destinations

    Routing considers when a destination is reachable.

  • Overflow & fallback

    Use qutee as coverage when busy or away.

Typical use cases

Stay in control

  • Configurable availability

    We market hours and after-hours behavior – not a blanket 24/7 SLA.

  • No public-holiday feature claim

    Public-holiday routing is not currently implemented.

  • You set the rules

    Which destinations ring when, and what happens outside hours, stays with you.

  • Quick to adjust

    Windows and fallbacks can change when shifts change.

Frequently asked questions

You configure how calls are handled at which times. We deliberately don’t make a blanket 24/7 availability promise here – what matters are your rules and the agreed operation.

Yes. Agents and transfer destinations can have their own windows and behavior.

Public-holiday schedules are not currently implemented as a feature. For special hours, use configurable weekly windows and fallbacks.

You decide: announcement, forward to a reachable destination, or structured capture for later.
