What is Time and Day-Based Routing?
Your calls where and when you need them.
If you want total flexibility in your business, Zintel’s Time & Day-Based Routing allows you to direct calls to multiple answering points according to your needs at different times of the day. This means you can catch and redirect every call, even when it comes after hours or during weekends, public holidays or vacations.
Getting set up is simple. Once you know when and where you’d like to send your calls, we can create redirection rules. Send calls to a different landline, a mobile, a voicemail or play an announcement. Create call answering rules that suit your business, so you get your calls when and where you need them.
For example, if you switch between more than one office location, you can automatically redirect your calls to suit your schedule. Or set up a rule to minimise distractions to your workflow, It’s up to you. You’re in control of your caller’s experience, no matter where you are and when they call.

Zintel Customer Case Study
Ken’s business has offices in both Perth and Melbourne. Depending on the time of year, the Melbourne office is 2-3 hours ahead due to different time zones. So staff in each location had different availability to take calls. This made it tricky to cover all incoming calls. Also, public holidays for each state sometimes fall on different days of the year, which requires calls to be redirected to the open office.
So Ken set up an 0508 number with our Time & Day-Based Routing feature. Now he directs company calls to Auckland when they open in the morning and back to Wellington in the afternoon until close of business.
