How Sysevo applies these hours
This is the same table the Sysevo dialer and AI calling campaigns check before every outbound call. The check uses the time where the person you’re calling is, not where you are, and if their time zone is unknown the call waits. In the US, state rules can only narrow the federal window, never widen it. A request to be called back at a set time is the one exception to the window. See outbound campaigns and the dialer.
