How do I reschedule in Calendly?
Short answerCalendly's help center says that when a new time is needed, rescheduling the meeting is the option to use instead of cancelling, and the invitee receives the updated details [1]. For a service business, the same idea applies: offer a new slot first, because a reschedule keeps the job and a cancel loses it.
The explanation
Calendly's own help pages describe rescheduling as a separate action from cancelling, which sends the invitee the new details [1]. The distinction is the useful part. A reschedule keeps the booking relationship and the revenue. A cancellation closes it.
A service business has more at stake than a meeting. A cleaning, a pest treatment or a repair has a crew, a route and sometimes materials behind it. When a customer asks to move, offer two specific alternatives rather than asking when they are free, and set a cutoff after which a move counts as a late change.
Write the cutoff into your policy. Something like moves requested the day before are free, moves on the day may carry a fee. A clear rule turns an awkward conversation into a lookup.
Steps
- Find the booking from the customer's confirmation link or your calendar.
- Offer two concrete new slots instead of an open question.
- Move the visit to the new slot and confirm the change in writing.
- Check that the crew, route and reminders moved with the visit.
What to watch for
- Treating every change request as a cancellation, which hides how many people really just needed another day.
- Letting customers move an appointment repeatedly with no limit.
