Disable Rescheduling and Cancelling

Disable Cancelling and Disable Rescheduling make an appointment final — removing the ability for guest and organizer to change or void a confirmed meeting.


Why use it


  • Ensure commitment: for high-demand or tightly scheduled events.
  • Reduce admin churn: guests contact you directly for exceptions instead of leaving sudden empty slots.
  • Protect paid sessions: a paid, confirmed slot stays filled.
  • Fixed windows: perfect for workshops, webinars, or one-time events.


Set it up


  1. Open Event Types and click the event.
  2. Open the Advanced tab.
  3. Toggle Disable Cancelling and/or Disable Rescheduling ON.
  4. Click Save.



How it works


  • The Cancel and Reschedule links are removed from the guest's confirmation email and calendar invite.
  • If the guest has a Cal ID account, the buttons disappear from their Bookings tab too.
  • The meeting time is locked — no self-service changes.


Warning: this applies to both organizer and guest — you also lose the ability to cancel or reschedule from your dashboard or calendar links. Use it only when the meeting must stay fixed.
