How to configure customized IVRs for multiple departments

Solution

Our regular business hours when there is a live receptionist to answer calls for our Corporate office is from 7:30AM to 7:30PM PST and then the system automatically switches over to the after hours menu. On weekends and holidays, the menu is on all day so will need a way to setup holiday dates and times as well.

Here is the call flow for the corporate companies:
