What are calendar rescheduling and guest approval rules?
Advanced Settings lets you control guest rescheduling and how a host-initiated time change is handled.
Why do you need this?
Use these rules to avoid last-minute changes and to request guest approval when a host proposes a new time.
Prerequisites
- A calendar you can update.
- A plan that includes booking rescheduling if the control is locked.
Step-by-step instructions
Step 1: Open the calendar
Go to Dashboard → Manage Calendars and open the calendar’s Advanced Settings.
Step 2: Set guest rescheduling
Expand Rescheduling, enable it, and set the notice period.
Step 3: Choose host reschedule behavior
Select the status for a host or AI reschedule: confirmed immediately, pending guest approval, or cancelled until approval.
Step 4: Save and review
Save the settings and use a test booking to verify the guest email and management link.
Important notes
- The status choice affects host-initiated reschedules; guest self-service follows the notice rule.
- A pending proposal requires the guest to approve or decline through the link provided to them.
