we were unable to find inside the documentation some information about the possibilities to cancel an appointment/event from user side after booking was properly done.
Can this only be done if we are forcing customers to register on the website and create a customer page where they can manage their bookings? Or can it also be done with only a link inside the confirmation mail to be forwarded to some kind of cancellation form withoud the need to register?
It would be great to receive some guidance / documentation on this topic.
There is placeholder %event_cancel_url% – An automatically generated cancelation URL.
Please note: All linked placeholders like %customer_panel_url%, %employee_panel_url%, %appointment_cancel_url%, %event_cancel_url%, and Zoom placeholders are programmatically generated URLs, and if you want to create a hyperlink to these URLs, they need to be added as placeholders, not direct URLs.
For example, when you configure the Customer Panel and add its URL to Amelia Settings/Roles/Customer, and you want to add a line in the email like “To access your Customer Panel, please click here“, the template needs to look like this:
This is because the Customer Panel URL that’s sent to the customer appends a login token to the URL, so a customer either logs in with this token (if you disabled the password as being mandatory in Amelia Settings/Roles/Customer) or sends the customer to the password creation form.
