Decline eligible pending Cal bookings from reviewed requests
Make a deliberate review part of your routine when a pending booking should be declined with a reason.
Trigger
Recurring schedule
Notis starts this workflow on a schedule, such as daily, weekly, or during business hours.
Action
Decline booking with reason
Irreversibly declines a pending booking awaiting confirmation.
Why this helps
A request to decline can get lost between a database record and a pending booking that still needs a decision.
- Review decline decisions at a consistent time.
- Decline only bookings awaiting confirmation.
- Include a supplied reason and report completed or ineligible requests.
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect AnyDB and Cal once in the Notis portal.
- 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a name and prompt.
- 3In one instruction, ask Notis to review supplied AnyDB decline decisions and decline matching Cal bookings only when they are awaiting confirmation, using the supplied reason where available.
- 4Pick a recurring schedule and choose where run reports go.
- 5Test with one real pending booking decision and check the report.
