Notifying Customers of Non-Working Hours without Extra License

Ensure your customers are informed even during off-hours with our text message feature. Send automated notifications to let them know when your support team is unavailable and when they can expect a response. This not only helps manage customer expectations, but also ensures that they don't waste time waiting for a response that won't come.

To set up this functionality for your business, simply follow the steps below:

  1. Create a new business process in a package that depends on the Beesender package.

  2. Add a signal element and configure it as follows:

    • Which type of signal is received? = Object signal

    • Object = Beesender Chat

    • Which event should trigger the signal? = Record added

    • The added record must meet filter conditions, Actions:

      • CreatedOn < Exact time [value] – Select the start time of working hours in UTC

      • CreatedOn > Exact time [value] – Select the end time of working hours in UTC

  3. Add Read data element and configure it as follows:

    • Which data read mode to use? = Read the first record in the selection

    • Which object to read data from? = Beesender Chat

    • How to filter records?

      • Id = Select an Id parameter from the Signal element

    • What record data should the process read?

      • Contact’s channel name

  4. Add a User task and select Beesender: Text message. Configure it as follows:

    • ChatId – Select an Id parameter from the ‘Signal’ element

    • ClientId – Select a Contact’s channel name from the ‘Read data' element

    • OperatorId – Select a System user from the ‘System administration object’ lookup

    • Text – Insert the message text that you want to send to the user during non-working hours

  5. Add a Modify data element and configure it as follows:

    • Which object to modify data of? = Beesender Chat

    • Modify all records that match condition, Actions:

      • Id = Select an Id parameter from the Signal element

    • Which column values to set for modified records?

      • Closed – Select ‘Boolean value’ → True

      • How the chat was closed – Select ‘Lookup value’ → Closed by process

         

You can also add creating an activity for the responsible user to this process, where you can specify a link to the chat and contact that appeared during non-working hours, so that agents can contact the customer during their working hours.
