Holiday routing is a call management feature that lets you redirect all inbound calls during specific holidays or designated periods.
You can forward these calls to alternate destinations, such as:
- Your personal phone number
- Remote team members
- Outsourced support services
- Voicemail, and more.
This ensures your customers and prospects continue to receive support, even when your leading teams are unavailable.
