Keep the Holiday Spirit Alive, Even When You’re Away

Picture this: your office is closed for the holidays, but your customers are greeted with a warm and informative message when they call. Our Holiday IVR feature allows you to preset your holiday phone hours and messages in advance. This means your callers will know if your office is closed, when you’ll be back, and whether they should leave a message or call back when you return to regular business hours. 

Ease of Setting Up Your Holiday Message

Setting up your holiday message is as easy as sipping eggnog by the fireplace. In just a few clicks within our user-friendly portal, you can create a holiday override for your regular routing. Simply navigate to the “Inbound Contacts” section, select “Routing Wizard,” and then proceed to the “Holidays” tab. From there, you can name your holiday, set the start and end dates, and specify the action for incoming calls or messages during this time.

To see just how easy it is to set up your Holiday IVR, check out our helpful User Guide here.


Spread Holiday Cheer with Exceptional Customer Experience

The Holiday IVR feature isn’t just about closing the office doors; it’s about maintaining a connection with your customers even when you’re celebrating the season. It’s the perfect way to ensure your clients know you’re taking a break, but you’re still thinking about their needs. 

So, as you gear up for the festive season, don’t forget to set your holiday phone hours using Contivio’s Holiday IVR feature. Spread cheer, stay connected, and make every customer interaction count, even during the most wonderful  (and sometimes busiest) time of year! 


Let’s make this holiday season merry and bright for both you and your customers!
