Hi. I have my settings so that there has to be a 24-hour window between the time a client makes a booking and their actual meeting with me. I assumed that they would not be able to cancel/reschedule in that 24 hour period either, but that does not seem to be the case (as it was with my previous booking system) My cancellation policy is a 24-hour policy, so I do not want them to think it’s OK for them to cancel at such short notice. Is this something that is going to be rectified? Thanks.

Hi
We don’t currently have the functionality to stop someone from cancelling an event within a specific window, as you’ve noticed. The reason behind this is that we can’t force someone to show up to a meeting - regardless of cancellation policies - so we’d rather they be able to communicate a cancellation or reschedule with you instead of being a no-show and wasting your time even more.
What I would recommend doing is being sure to communicate your cancellation policy right in the event booking and making it a required “question” to agree to. We’ve also noticed a lot of other Calendly users using the Stripe or PayPal integration to collect payment during booking which tends to entice people to not waste their money or your time. Note: Cancelling the event would not issue a refund.
