How to Temporarily Close Your Office in Docnote
Going on vacation or closing your office temporarily? Learn how to set a temporary closure message for patients in just a few steps.
If your office is closing temporarily — for vacation, holidays, or any other reason — you can notify patients directly through Docnote. When your office is marked as temporarily closed, patients will see your custom message when attempting to submit a request.
Steps to temporarily close your office:
- Log in to your Docnote account and select Office Info from the left-hand menu.
- Scroll down on the Office Profile page to the Office Hours section.
- Select the orange "Temporarily Close Office" button.
- Enter the reason or message you would like patients to see when they attempt to submit a request while your office is closed.
- Select Preview to see exactly what your patients will see before confirming.
- Once you are satisfied with your message, select Confirm to apply the closure.
💡 Tip: Use the Preview button to make sure your message is clear and informative — letting patients know when you expect to reopen can help reduce follow-up inquiries.
