How to cancel shifts

Learn how to cancel assigned shifts and when cancellation may be required.

Written by Tetiana

There may be situations where an assigned shift needs to be cancelled, for example due to sickness, vacation, or an unforeseen personal emergency.

When cancelling a shift, it's important to record the reason and, if applicable, notify the customer.

Before cancelling shifts, you can manage the available cancellation reasons in Settings → Templates → Reasons for Shift Cancellations. The system includes a default list of reasons, and you can add your own to match your company's needs.

To cancel a shift:

  1. Open the assigned shift.

  2. Click More actions in the upper-right corner.

  3. Select Cancel shift.

  4. Choose a cancellation reason.

  5. Select the customer contacts who should be notified.

If the cancellation should only be handled internally, disable Update the customer to prevent a notification from being sent. Click Cancel shift to confirm.

The shift status changes to Cancelled with the selected cancellation reason, and the assigned talent is updated accordingly.
