Need to let people know plans are cancelled? Send a cancellation notification to all attendees direct from your VisitorBook system.
Important: You cannot send a cancellation notification to selected people. If sent, the notification goes to all attendees.
Send cancellation notification when cancelling an event #
You have the option to send a cancellation notification during the process of cancelling an event. During this process you will be asked whether you want to send the notification now. If you click ‘yes’, the system opens the Cancellation Email template. A template email is provided but you can edit the notification if you’d prefer. A What You See Is What You Get (WYSIWYG) editor makes editing easier. Edits are made as you type and you can preview the notification.
Tip: The default cancellation notification is set up to use dynamic content. These are auto-populated fields, such as the visitor’s name, the event name and date, and your organisation.

Once the notification is as you’d like it, click the Send Cancellation Notification button to send the notification to all attendees. At the same time the event is cancelled and removed from the Upcoming Events view.
Important: At busy times, emails may not be sent immediately but will be queued to send later.

- Find the event in the list of cancelled events.
- Click the View icon in the Actions column next to the event.
- The system opens the page for the specific event. A banner indicates the event is cancelled.
- Click the Send Cancellation Notification button located at the top-right of the page.
- The system opens the Cancellation Email Template. You can edit this template, as described in the previous section.
- When you are ready to send, click the Send Cancellation Notification button.
