User action: Cancelling a booking request [Classic]

When you work in Booking with approval mode and a Customer submits a booking request, you’ll receive an email with the suggested meeting times that the Customer selected. You can also access the suggested times directly from the activity in the Activity stream.

If the times suggested by the Customer don’t work for you, you can cancel the request or request new times. In both cases, email notifications will be sent to both the User and Customer. Learn more about the Customer notifications scenarios

In this article, you’ll learn how to cancel a booking request and request new times or cancel a booking request.
