Adding your practice's hours of operation is a critical set-up step that ensures your online scheduling availability is accurate, LiveOps operatories remain current, and provides greater visibility to patients utilizing the Modento mobile app.

For times when your practice isn't open, you can setup an automatic response message that patients messaging your practice after hours will receive, alerting them that you aren't currently open but will be in touch soon.

Read on below to learn how to add your office hours and enable an automatic responder!

Helpful Tip: While you're working in Engagement Practice Setup, be sure to double check your general practice information. It is important that your office email and office phone number are entered and are accurate.


Add Office Hours

  2. Select Practice Setup, then click Practice Info
