Scheduled Call Forwarding
Scheduled call forwarding allows users to redirect incoming calls to another number or device according to a preset schedule. This feature ensures calls are handled efficiently without any manual intervention. It is especially relevant for companies that rely on service providers, such as Optus, to ensure smooth call routing across devices.

How Scheduled Call Forwarding Works
Scheduled call forwarding works through advanced automation and network integration. It leverages your business’s call management system to detect active schedules and automatically transfer calls without manual data entry or intervention.
Essentially, you can decide:

The Days and Times
Specify which days of the week and what times the call forwarding should be in place. Need calls handled differently on a Friday afternoon compared to a Monday morning? You can easily set those schedules through this feature.
The Destination
Choose where those calls should be routed. You can pick another office line, a team member’s mobile, a professional answering service, or even straight to a custom voicemail greeting.
The Flow
Decide if calls should ring multiple numbers simultaneously (perfect for team availability) or follow a specific sequence until someone answers.
Scheduled call forwarding is usually available on multiple platforms, including Android and iPhone devices, as long as their networks allow it. Your business can also use a scheduled call forwarding app that enables you to customise call forwarding rules, set a specific deadline, and change the schedule for a smooth, user-friendly experience.
