Let clients change or cancel their own booking

Every booking email has a private link where clients can reschedule or cancel online — up to the cutoff you choose. Here’s how it works and what you see.

When you’re done

  • Clients move or cancel without calling you
  • Your own cutoff so last-minute changes still go through you
  • An email to you whenever a client changes a booking
  1. 1

    Where clients find the link

    Each booking confirmation email has a “Manage booking” button, and reminder emails have one too. The link belongs to that one booking — clients don’t need an account or a password.

    Choose when online changes close

    In the left menu, click “Settings”, then “Hours & booking rules”, and scroll to “Booking rules”.

    • “Online changes close” (1): from “At the start time” up to “72 hours before”. After that, clients can’t cancel or move online and are asked to call you.
    • “Cancellation policy” (2): your own words, shown on the booking page, in the client app and in confirmation emails.

    Click “Save booking rules” (3).

    Tip: “Minimum notice” and “Book up to” here also apply when a client picks a new time.

    What clients see

    The link opens a page with their booking: service, date and time, team member and address. Buttons:

    • “Add to calendar”
    • “Reschedule” (1)
    • “Cancel” (2)

    Underneath it says until when they can change or cancel online. After the cutoff, the buttons are switched off and the page asks them to call you.

    Rescheduling and cancelling

    Reschedule shows “Pick a new time with” the same team member: a month calendar with every day they could book online (as far ahead as your “Book up to” setting), then that day’s free times. The client taps a time, then confirms with “Yes, move it” (or “Keep current time”), and gets a new confirmation.

    Cancel asks “Cancel this booking?” — “Yes, cancel it” or “Keep my booking”. After cancelling, they see a “Book again” button.

    What you see

    Your calendar updates straight away. Owners and admins get an email — “A client cancelled” or “A client moved their booking” — with an “Open calendar” button. A cancelled time is free again, and anyone on the waitlist who wants it is told.
