How do I view and change the working and non-working hours or days for a call flow in MyOperator?

⚡Quick answer -

You can view and update the working hours and days for any call flow directly from the Design Callflow section in your MyOperator panel.
Go to Call → Design Callflow → Select your call flow → Edit → Adjust schedule (working hours, working days, and holiday rules) → Preview → Publish.


BEFORE YOU START (PREREQUISITES)

Make sure you have the following ready before making changes:

  • ✅ You are logged in to your MyOperator account with “Call” or “Design Callflow” permissions.
  • ✅ You know the call flow name or ID you want to modify.
  • ✅ If using holiday-based schedules, have your holiday callflow ready.
  • ✅ Recommended: Make schedule changes during low-traffic hours or in a staging/test call flow, if possible.

3. Update Working Hours & Days

  • Under the Call Routing Rules section, edit the Schedule and Route type
  • Set the Start Time and End Time (e.g., 09:00 AM → 06:00 PM).
  • Select the Working Days checkboxes (e.g., Mon–Fri).

Configure after‑hours & non‑working day routing

  • After‑hours — Any time outside your defined business working hours.
    • Example: If your hours are 9:00 AM–6:00 PM, then 6:00 PM–9:00 AM is after‑hours.
  • Non‑working days — Full days when your office is officially closed.
    • Examples: Sundays, national/public holidays, festival leave days.
  • Add holidays. In Holidays/Non‑working days, add dates (single day) or ranges (multi‑day).
  • Choose your after‑hours IVR. In Routing → After‑hours, select the IVR or call flow to use when closed.
  • Choose your non‑working‑day IVR. In Routing → Non‑working days, select the IVR or flow for holidays/weekends.
  • If the client wishes not to receive any calls on festivals, they can set up the call flow as "Our offices are closed for today due to Diwali, Holi, etc" or they can decide their own message and update it in the design call flow option.
  • Save your changes.
  • (Optional) Test by placing a call outside hours and on a holiday date.

RELATED INFORMATION

About the Design Callflow Module

The Design Callflow feature in MyOperator is used to:

  • Create, manage, and test call routing structures (IVRs).
  • Customise greetings, working hours, and department-wise call distribution.
  • Define non-working hour rules (redirect to voicemail, auto-messages, etc.).
  • Preview and test call flows before activation.

Impact on Your Business Calls

The working hours and schedule you set directly affect how your business handles calls:

  • Improved routing: Calls only reach teams during defined hours.
  • Reduced missed calls: Non-working hour routing prevents customer drop-offs.
  • Professional experience: Holiday messages and after-hour voicemails improve customer satisfaction.
  • Operational control: Separate routing for weekdays, weekends, and holidays provides flexibility.
