A booking can be cancelled by either Staff or the Customer by logging in to their Customer account.

When a booking is Cancelled the following emails are sent out if they are enabled in your email templates.

Verify your templates are enabled in Settings > Emails > Email templates

Notifications sent to Customers

o Booking Cancellation: Sent to the customer when the booking is cancelled by the Customer. This is to confirm the cancellation.

o Booking Late Cancellation: Sent to the Customer when the booking is cancelled by the customer via their customer account. Customers may incur a Cancellation Fee (only if set by Admin in settings), and this email is the final confirmation of that.

Notifications sent to Support and other Staff

o Staff Booking Cancellation: Sent to Support when a Staff has cancelled a booking or a customer has cancelled their booking via their customer account within the cancellation cut-off time.

o Staff Booking Late Cancellation: Sent to Admin when a customer has cancelled their booking via their customer account after the cancellation cut-off time.

Sent to Teams

o Team Booking Cancelled: Sent to team when a customer or staff cancels a booking that has already been assigned a team.
