Define your team's working hours per day so customers know when to expect a response, and so SLAs and availability reflect reality.

Business hours tell Alps, and your customers, when your team is actually available. They feed directly into SLA deadlines and availability displays, so setting them accurately matters beyond just being informational.

Setting your hours

Open Settings, then Business Hours, and set working hours for each day of the week, along with the timezone they apply in. You can leave a day off entirely if your team doesn't work that day.

Why this matters beyond just display

Business hours aren't just shown to customers, they're used to calculate SLA deadlines. An SLA of "respond within 4 hours" means 4 working hours, not 4 hours including overnight when nobody's online.
