Change Business Hours

One of the most common tasks that needs managed is changing the business hours when there is a holiday during a weekday that we would typically be open. To change the hours click on Engagement -> Business Hours and remove the day that is a holiday.

Note: When changing business hours for a holiday it is important to set them back once the holiday is finished, so create a reminder so that you remember to do that.

Once the day is removed then the Non-Business Hours flow will be used to route calls.

Call Log

You can access history and phone recordings through the call log tab of the unifi management console. The AI tab transcribes calls into text that can be reviewed as well.
