Cancel an active booking when the request is clear

A direct cancellation request can trigger the corresponding Cal cancellation, using the booking UID so the right appointment is addressed.

Trigger

New Gmail Message Received Trigger

Triggers when a new message is received in Gmail.

Action

Cancel booking via uid

Cancels an existing and active cal.com booking using its unique identifier (uid).

Why this helps

Cancellations are easy to miss when the request arrives in email but the booking lives elsewhere.

  • Act on explicit cancellation requests without switching tools.
  • Use the unique booking identifier to target the appointment.
  • Keep the cancellation result in the run report.

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Gmail and Cal once in the Notis portal.
  • 2Create an automation in Automations, New Automation, and give it a name and prompt.
  • 3Describe that only an explicit cancellation request with a clear booking UID should cancel the active Cal booking.
  • 4Pick New Gmail Message Received as the trigger and choose where run reports go.
  • 5Test with one real cancellation request and review the outcome.

Questions about this workflow

Does the action cancel any booking found by attendee name?

The action requires the booking UID. If the email does not provide enough information to identify it, review manually.

Can a cancelled booking be restored through this action?

No. This action cancels an active booking and should be used only for a clear request.
