Business Hours lets you choose when Beside should ring and notify you, and when it shouldn’t.
During your working hours, calls and messages come through normally.
Outside your hours, Beside stays quiet and sends calls directly to voicemail.
🔔 How Business Hours works
Inside Business Hours 🔔
You'll receive call and message notifications as usual, and incoming calls will ring normally.
Outside Business Hours 💤
You won't receive notifications, and incoming calls will go directly to your AI Receptionist. This is ideal for evenings, weekends, and focus time.
🕒 How to enable Business Hours
Follow these simple steps to set your preferred schedule:
Open the Beside mobile app
Go to the Settings tab
Select the inbox
Scroll to the Notifications section
Tap Business Hours
Toggle Schedule Notifications on, then customize your schedule according to your availability.
ℹ️ At this time, it isn't possible to set different business hours for each day. However, you can exclude entire days (e.g. Saturday and Sunday) by leaving them unchecked.
