How it works
If a call arrives and there is no matching on-call entry for that time and call type, SimboConnect sends the alert to the contact defined in the Fallback Schedule.
Steps

Open Default Schedules.
-
In Fallback Schedule, select edit if present, or Add to create one.
-
Set a broad From Date Time and To Date Time period that covers your operating horizon.
-
Select Send Alert To contact.

Choose the Alert Preferences to define the alert protocol.
-
Select Save Schedule.
Tips and good practices

Keep the Fallback window long and continuous.
-
Use an on-call distribution or a responsible lead as the fallback contact.
-
Review Alert Preferences so the fallback person cannot miss an urgent call.
