Coverage

Protect after-hours opportunities without waking the team for every call.

After-hours behavior is built around service modes: routine overnight capture, callback scheduling, approved booking, weekend coverage, busy-line overflow, and urgent escalation.

What it supports

  • Answers when the office is closed or the team is unavailable.
  • Captures the customer, issue, urgency, and preferred next step.
  • Books approved slots or offers callback windows when appropriate.
  • Escalates true urgent cases to an on-call person.

Owner controls

  • Business hours and weekend behavior.
  • What counts as urgent.
  • On-call escalation recipient.
  • Rules for booking, callback capture, or morning follow-up.

Why this is credible

  • The docs separate routine after-hours handling from emergency on-call behavior.
  • The recommended setup includes testing both routine and urgent after-hours paths.
  • After-hours logic connects to routing, booking, and owner briefing workflows.
