Configuring a Time-Based Routing Condition

The time-based routing feature allows you to configure a routing rule activated only at the time specified in a time condition. You can configure a condition and then associate it with a routing group or a routing rule, or both (see Adding a New Routing Rule under 'Advanced Conditions').

To configure a time-based routing condition:
1. Open the Time-Based Routing screen (Settings > Routing > Time Based Routing).

2. Add a time-based routing condition: Click the add + icon.

Add Time Condition

3. Configure a time-based routing condition. Use the following table as reference.

The same time condition profile can be reused multiple times.
