Hello.
I need to implement small IVR in Unity Connection, but I dont know how to handle one thing.
Lets say that I have SCH which plays "Hello in XYZ company, if you want to talk to support group press one, if you want to talk to sales press 2 etc.
And now if I press "1" I would like to call one extension from 8am till 13pm, and the other extension from 13pm till 20pm. How this kind of thing can be implemented?
I'll be gratefull for any directions.
Regards
Mat

setup a new schedule in UCXN that defines the 8-13 hours
build 2 call handlers for option 1, one with this above schedule, configure call transfer to go to greeting, make the standard greeting silent and configure it to transfer to extension1 after greeting.
Then setup the closed greeting on handler 1 to point to second call handler which uses all hours schedule and transfers the call to extension 2.
HTH, Powodzenia!!!

Another option would be to setup time of day routing in CUCM.

I think i managed to implement it.
Maybe it will be useful for others so here is how I did that:
SCH_MAIN_IVR (no schedules)
(caller input 1 -> SCH-SALES-7-13 (with schedules from 7am-1pm)
SCH-SALES-7-13 -> transfer rules standard -> Xfer to first extension
-> transfer rules closed -> Xfer calls to greetings
-> greetings closed -> Callers hear -> Personal Recording (recorded silence)
-> After greeting -> CallHandler -> SALES-13-23 -> Attempt transfer
SCH-SALES-13-23 -> transfer rules standard -> Xfer to second extension
-> transfer rules closed -> Xfer call to greetings
-> greetings closed -> Callers Hear -> Personal Recording ("Opening hours are...")
-> After greeting -> whatever (hangup, restart greeting, etc.)
The same logic with other option.
Thanks for your help and pointing me to the right direction

Thanks for response and directions.
Unfortunately it seems to be a little more complicated:
Main IVR (press 1 for sales, press 2 for support, press three for IT_dep).
If user choose 1 I should transfer call to 1 extension from 7am-13pm, transfer to second extension from 13pm - 20pm, and play message that |Sales dept is not available" from 20pm till 7am. The same with 2 (support) but with slightly different time slots - not 7am-13pm but e.g 8am-14pm. I hope you got the idea.
Is Your approach ok with that kind of setup?
Or should I consider any other method ?

Well, you then basically just create more nested schedule checks, i.e:
