Scheduled callback when customer calls outside of operating hours

(0) ShareShare

Hey,
I was wondering, if there is an option for a calling customer, who calls outside of the configured operating hours, to schedule a callbak to a specific time within Copilot Contact center?
I thought about sending the caller to a different queue and then create a callback on the condition that his waiting time is longer than 0 minutes, but that wouldn't solve the requirement that the callback should be scheduled to a specific time. Is that even possible at all?

    Yes, Copilot for Service (Contact Center) does not natively support scheduled callbacks to a specific time out-of-the-box.
    However, workarounds exist:
    • You can capture the preferred callback time via IVR (using DTMF or voice input).
    • Send this data to Power Automate or Azure Function to:
      • Create a callback work item (or custom activity) with the scheduled time.
      • Use custom routing or Power Virtual Agents to handle it at the desired time.
    • You’ll need to ensure agents are available and a custom logic checks the current time vs. requested time before initiating callback.
    So yes, it is possible, but it requires customization—not available via basic queue/wait-time logic.
