Late Cancel Automation

Getting started with the Late Cancel Automation.
Last Updated
November 16, 2024

The Pipeline Solutions Late Cancel Automation was designed to save you time and to hold your members accountable to their bookings — both of which are very important as you grow and scale your studio.

The features of the Late Cancel Automation include:

  • Customizing your fees to charge more for no shows vs. late cancels
  • You can let the first one slide — set a forgiveness window for first offences
  • Automated error reporting means you'll know which charges couldn't be processed

How the Late Cancel Automation works:

  • Each evening you (and any other recipients that you would like to include) will receive a report detailing all of your studio's late cancels and no shows for the day
  • Here is an example of what the Late Cancel Report looks like:

    Best,
    -Your Pipeline Solutions Team

  • You can specify the time that you would like to receive your Late Cancel report when you complete the Pipeline Solutions onboarding form, we recommend that the report be sent at least 1 hour after your last scheduled class of the day to ensure that all clients are accounted for in the class attendance
  • Your team has 24 hours to make any adjustments in Mindbody — if you notice that the report shows clients that were in attendance but missed being signed in or if a client was erroneously labelled as a late cancel, or if you have any other policy that would exempt a client from incurring a charge, then simply head into the class list in Mindbody and "Early Cancel" or "Undo Late Cancel" for that client
  • The time that your Late Cancel report runs is also the same time that your charges are auto-processed from the previous day. For example, if you would like your Late Cancel Report to run at 8pm local time, then that's also when the charges will be auto-processed for late cancels/no shows from the previous day
  • The Late Cancel Automation runs for all scheduled classes
