Canceling and Rescheduling Bookings

Cal ID gives you full control over your scheduled appointments — cancel a meeting, pick a new time yourself, or ask the attendee to choose one. Attendees can also manage their own bookings from their inbox if you allow it. Any change automatically emails an update to both sides.


For the host


Method A: from the Bookings tab


  1. Click Bookings in the left sidebar.
  2. Find the booking under Upcoming and click the three dots (…) on the right.
  3. Choose your action:
  • Reschedule booking — pick a new date and time, add an optional reason, and confirm.
  • Cancel event — add an optional cancellation note and confirm.
  • Request reschedule — emails the attendee a private link to pick a new time.



Method B: from the Unified Calendar


  1. Click Calendar in the left sidebar.
  2. Reschedule by dragging the meeting block to a new day or time.
  3. Cancel by clicking the block, then Cancel, adding an optional reason, and confirming.



For the attendee


Attendees don't need a Cal ID account — they manage the booking from email:


  1. Open the booking confirmation email (or a reminder).
  2. Find the Reschedule or Cancel links inside.
  3. Reschedule opens your booking page to pick a new slot; Cancel lets them submit a reason and free the slot.


Note: these links only appear if you've enabled rescheduling and cancellation in the event type's settings. If they're off, the attendee must contact you directly.
