[Learn more about the different activity statuses](https://help.staticso2.com/scheduleonce/managing-bookings/analytics/activity-stream-managing-activities "Understanding activity statuses")

## Reschedule initiated by Customer

[Section titled “Reschedule initiated by Customer”](#reschedule-initiated-by-customer)

When a Customer submits a request to [reschedule a booking](https://help.staticso2.com/scheduleonce/managing-bookings/cancel-reschedule/customer-action-reschedule-single-booking "Customer action: Reschedule a single booking"), the following actions take place.

* **If the Customer reschedules using the same Booking page:** In the [Activity stream](https://help.staticso2.com/scheduleonce/managing-bookings/analytics/activity-stream-viewing-activities "Introduction to the ScheduleOnce Activity stream"), the original event is updated with the new time and a status of **Rescheduled (By Customer)**. In the calendar, the event is moved to the new date and time. There is no canceled activity and one calendar event is used for the entire booking lifecycle.

  Note

  **Note**This does not apply to Booking pages in [Group session](https://help.staticso2.com/scheduleonce/event-types-booking-pages/scheduling-options/one-on-one-or-group-sessions "One-on-One or Group session") mode integrated with [Zoom](https://help.staticso2.com/user-integrations/basics-user-integrations/connect-your-video-conferencing-app "How to connect ScheduleOnce to Zoom"), [Google Meet](https://help.staticso2.com/user-integrations/basics-user-integrations/connect-your-video-conferencing-app), [Microsoft Teams](https://help.staticso2.com/user-integrations/basics-user-integrations/connect-your-video-conferencing-app), [GoToMeeting](https://help.staticso2.com/user-integrations/basics-user-integrations/connect-your-video-conferencing-app "The ScheduleOnce connector for GoToMeeting"), or [Webex Meetings](https://help.staticso2.com/user-integrations/basics-user-integrations/connect-your-video-conferencing-app "The ScheduleOnce connector for Webex Meetings"). In this case, the original activity is updated with a status of **Canceled (By Customer)** and a new **Rescheduled** Activity is created.

* **If the Customer reschedules using a different Booking page:** In the [Activity stream](https://help.staticso2.com/scheduleonce/managing-bookings/analytics/activity-stream-viewing-activities "Introduction to the ScheduleOnce Activity stream"), the original activity is updated with a status of **Canceled (By Customer)**, a new **Rescheduled** Activity is created, and the **Stream** activity counter is incremented (Figure 1). ![Figure 1: Stream activity counter](https://help.staticso2.com/_astro/screen-shot-2020-02-19-at-112939-am.B1-QkUBX_Z2o3y0f.png)Figure 1: Stream activity counter

* An email notification with the new booking details is sent to the Customer, the User who the Customer made the booking with, and [any additional stakeholders](https://help.staticso2.com/scheduleonce/event-types-booking-pages/user-notifications/subscribing-to-booking-notifications "Subscribing to Booking notifications").

* The original User and [any additional stakeholders](https://help.staticso2.com/scheduleonce/event-types-booking-pages/user-notifications/subscribing-to-booking-notifications "Subscribing to Booking notifications") are notified of the canceled booking and are informed of who the Customer reschedules with.

* The previously booked time slot is made available.

* If the [Customer is added to the original calendar event](https://help.staticso2.com/scheduleonce/event-types-booking-pages/customer-notifications/customer-calendar-event-options "Customer Calendar Event options"), the Customer will receive an updated calendar invite email with **CANCELED** in the title. The status of the calendar event will be automatically changed to “Free”.
* The original User’s calendar event changes its status to “Free”. This frees up the slot to accept new bookings.
* The original calendar event includes **CANCELED** in the title, so that it’s easy to spot that this booking was canceled. However, the calendar event is not deleted.
