Frequently asked questions
Common questions about how to cancel a calendly appointment.
Will the attendee be notified when I cancel the appointment?
Yes, Calendly automatically sends a cancellation notification to the attendee when you confirm the cancellation. The notification includes details about the canceled meeting and any relevant information you may have provided.
Can I cancel an appointment that already took place?
While you can technically access past appointments in Calendly, canceling completed meetings may not be necessary. If you need to remove a past meeting from your records, you can follow the same process, but the attendee won't receive a cancellation notification.
Is there a way to undo a cancellation?
Once confirmed, a cancellation cannot be automatically undone in Calendly. However, you can manually reschedule with the attendee by having them rebook through your calendar link or by manually creating a new appointment.
What happens to the time slot after I cancel?
After cancellation, the time slot becomes available again on your calendar. This means new attendees can book that time slot if you have a public booking link active.
Can I add a custom message when canceling an appointment?
The standard cancellation process in Calendly sends an automatic notification. For more personalized communication, you may want to send a separate email to the attendee explaining the cancellation before you proceed with removing the meeting.
