  1. Go to Settings > Account > Days Off Templates.
  2. Click + Add.
  3. Name the template, for example "Holidays".
  4. Add the individual dates or date ranges.
  5. Save the template.

How it works

When a days off template is assigned, the widget treats those dates as non-working days. Visitors see the unavailable message if they start a chat during a day off, even if the regular work schedule says you are normally open.

You can reuse the same days off template across multiple website widgets, or create different templates for different teams or regions.
