# Disable Default Attendee Confirmation Emails in Cal ID

> Turn off Cal ID's default attendee confirmation email for an event type so you can send fully personalized confirmations from a custom workflow.

Turn off Cal ID's automatic attendee confirmation email for an event type so you can send your own personalized confirmation from a custom **Workflow** instead.

By default, Cal ID sends an automatic confirmation email to attendees once they successfully book a meeting. Disabling it hands that job over to a Workflow you control.

<Warning>
  This toggle only becomes available once at least one active workflow on this event type sends a booking confirmation to attendees. Set up that replacement workflow first — otherwise your bookers would receive no confirmation at all.
</Warning>

## Steps to disable default confirmation emails

<Steps>
  <Step title="Access the event editor">
    Navigate to your [**Event Types**](https://cal.id/event-types) dashboard and click the **Edit** icon on the specific event you wish to modify.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Open Advanced settings">
    Click on the **Advanced** tab at the top of the event configuration screen.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Locate the setting">
    Scroll to the bottom of the page to find **Disable default confirmation emails for attendees**.

  <Step title="Save changes">
    Click the **Save** button in the top right corner to apply your changes.

</Steps>

<Note>
  With the default email off, your active workflow is now the only confirmation attendees receive. Send yourself a test booking to confirm it delivers as expected.
