Business · Hours

Open and closed hours for your business and your AI.

Weekly open/close times, with support for special holidays.

Overview

Business Hours tells customers when you're open and when you're not — Mondays 9 to 5, closed Tuesday, open weekends. The AI uses them to answer 'are you open now', to block calendar bookings outside hours, and to behave differently after hours (e.g., promise a next-day reply).

Features

Weekly schedule

Set open and close time per day. Split shifts supported (e.g., 12–3pm and 6–11pm).

Closed days

Mark entire days as closed. AI responds with appropriate messaging.

Special days / holidays

Override the weekly schedule with Time Off — single days, several days, date ranges, weekly repeats (e.g. closed every Tuesday), or annual holidays like Christmas and Ramadan. Managed from the Calendar page.

Timezone

All times are in this timezone. Set it carefully if you have a distributed team.

After-hours message

Custom greeting for customers who message outside hours ("Thanks! We're closed until 9am.").

About 1 min

Tips

Set after-hours messages to include your website so customers can self-serve.
Forgetting to set your timezone is the most common setup mistake.
