Booking Types - How to Setup Automatic Cancellation Emails When Rejecting a Booking/Enquiry

← Settings - Booking Types FAQs
Instead of going to Messages and composing a cancellation email within the booking, you can set your Collins system up to automatically send out a cancellation email when the status of the booking is changed to Rejected/Cancelled.

I.e. every time you press the red Reject button and SAVE, a cancellation email will automatically be sent to the customer.

To set this up, go to Settings:
> Venues
> Select Venue
> Booking Types
> Select the relevant Booking Type (if you would like this to happen for all types of bookings this needs to be set up per Booking Type)
> Scroll down to the Emails section
> Tick the box next to where it says ‘Automatic Cancellation’
> SAVE
    

Please note if a customer cancels a booking directly from their confirmation email, this message will also display in the subsequent cancellation email they will receive.
