AI and business hours

Many stores let the AI Agent answer 24/7 while human agents work set hours. Configure greetings and escalation messages so customers know when a person will join.

After hours, the AI can still track orders and answer policy questions. Complex cases can queue for the next business day.

Configuration checklist

  • Set workspace timezone correctly.
  • Define business hours per channel if options are available.
  • Customize the offline message on live chat.
  • Route overnight escalations to an on-call owner if needed.
