Feature Request: Time-Based Response Limits
complete
Philipp Leirich
Hey team,
We'd love to see a feature that allows us to set specific time windows for bot replies (e.g. no replies between 10 PM and 8 AM), with the bot resuming the conversation naturally once the time window is over.
Why this matters:
Right now, using GHL workflows to delay responses overnight is clunky. The biggest issue:
➡️ The bot does not resume the conversation contextually.
It just sends a generic delayed message, which breaks the natural flow and feels robotic.
Ideal solution:
A setting to define "quiet hours" (e.g. 22:00–08:00).
If a lead writes during that time, the bot waits and automatically resumes the chat in the morning, picking up where it left off, like a human would.
Bonus: allow setting custom response messages like:
"Hey! Just saw your message — was already off for the night. Let me help you with that now…"
This would be a game-changer for making chatbot communication feel more personal and respectful of natural business hours.
Thanks for considering this!

This would be valuable and more useful to us if we could also set a schedule by communication channel please.

This is super critical. We can get in trouble for texting clients outside of "quiet hours" so please prioritize this one :)

AI Off during non-business hours
Amr Mahmoud
Some control over having the AI not respond during non-business hours, and resuming that response for when business hours begin again.
My client doesn't like the AI responding to someone at 2am, even if the contact sends a message at that time.

Bot Response Time Window Customizations

Need to be able to restrict what times the bot can respond to a lead. Currently, once the bot is "on" it will respond at any hour of the day

Operating Hours for Job Flows
Jesse Rodriguez
A simple way to schedule when a job flow is operating. We have a number of clients who don't want them running during actual operating hours.

new laws make it illegal to text before 8AM and After 9pm. While that’s silly, it’s still a law. High level allows the ability to do this in their workflows but CloseBot needs to do it to avoid sms fines.

Feature to set the AI to respond at certain days and hours only
Cristina Cruz
Hi Closebot Team. Would really love if you can integrate a feature where the AI can text only at certain times. With the new Texas law, we are required to only text at certain time. I know it's lame but we need to comply. So, if you could please please please add this feature as soon as possible
