Appointments can be marked as Cancelled from any status except Checked In. Once an appointment is listed as "Cancelled" it can then be Re-OpenedCompleted, marked as No Show, or permanently deleted.

If you mark appointments as Cancelled, you have the option to send out an email to the Client and/or the Staff about the cancellation. If a client cancels his/her appointment by either logging into the scheduler or clicking on the cancellation link in the email, they will receive a confirmation that their appointment was cancelled and you will receive an email that they cancelled their appointment.

A time stamp of the status change will be listed on the Audit Trail for the appointment when either you (the staff) or the client cancel it.

In this documentation, we will go through how to:

We will also discuss what can be done once appointments are listed as Cancelled and how you can make these changes in both List views or the Appointment Detail view.

How Clients can Cancel their Appointments

Clients can cancel their appointments either from the Manage Appointment link in their appointment confirmation or appointment reminder emails or by logging into the scheduler.

In the emails your clients receive before their appointments (whether that is the confirmation for booking, a notice that the appointment was rescheduled, or a reminder 24 hours before the appointment start time), there is a link that they can click on to cancel or reschedule their appointment.

An example of this link is shown in the screenshot below. Please note that the email your clients receive from your business may look different than the email shown below, but the link should stay relatively similar:

Clicking on this link will take them to their appointment details page where they have access to a button to cancel their appointment. This is the same page that clients would see if they were to log into the scheduler and navigate to the detail page around an appointment:

Image RemovedImage Added

If this button is disabled when your clients click on the link, then the time when they are allowed to cancel their appointments as set by you, the business, has passed.

Clicking on that button will give them a small window where they can type in a reason for their cancellation if they'd like:

Pressing the red "Cancel this appointment" button will confirm their cancellation and they will receive a confirmation email that their appointment was indeed cancelled:

As mentioned above, clients can also cancel or reschedule their appointments by logging into the scheduler. Click that link to read our documentation on client login.
