## Example coding to configure dates and times

The following is an example of coding for ST Chat to Text and Scheduling Pro. The days/times are configured for when the Scheduling Pro chat will appear:

## Example: Day 1 - Monday

In this example Day 1 - Monday, SP Chat will appear before 07:00 and after 18:00. The week starts with Day 0 - Sunday.

This is the example coding for Service Titan Chat to Text and Schedule Engine. The days/times are configured for when the SP chat will appear.

In this example for Day 1 - Monday, SP Chat will appear before 07:00 and after 18:00. In the bottom section that controls the ST Chat widget, [insert the SP Chat to text Code](/construction/docs/chat-to-text-integration-1)**.**

The SP chat will appear for the times listed and all other times the ST chat will appear.
