Lock in appointments in Cal ID by removing the ability for bookers and organizers to cancel or reschedule a booking after it has been confirmed.
Make a confirmed meeting final. In Cal ID, the Disable Cancelling and Disable Rescheduling features give you full control over the finality of your appointments. When enabled, these settings remove the ability for both the booker and the organizer to change or void a meeting once it is confirmed.
These settings apply to both the organizer and the booker. If you enable these features, you as the organizer will also lose the ability to cancel or reschedule the event directly from the Cal ID dashboard or your calendar links. Use these settings only when you are certain the meeting must remain fixed.
Why use “Disable Cancelling” and “Disable Rescheduling”?
Ensure Commitment: These settings are ideal for high-demand events or tightly scheduled environments where a last-minute change would disrupt your entire workflow.
Reduce Admin Overhead: By preventing automated changes, you encourage bookers to contact you directly if an emergency arises, allowing you to handle exceptions manually rather than having empty slots appear suddenly.
Protect Paid Sessions: If you charge for your time, disabling these options ensures that a slot remains filled once it has been paid for and confirmed.
Fixed Event Windows: Perfect for workshops, webinars, or one-time physical events where the date and time cannot be moved.
Removal of Links: Once these options are enabled, the standard Cancel and Reschedule links will be automatically removed from the confirmation email and the calendar invite sent to the booker.
Dashboard Restriction: If the booker has a Cal ID account, they will no longer see the buttons to cancel or reschedule that specific event type within their own Bookings tab.
Fixed Commitment: The booker is effectively told that the meeting time is locked in and cannot be changed through automated self-service tools.
