How to Let Users Reschedule or Cancel Appointments

January 2, 2026

With Jotform’s Appointment field, you can give people an easy way to reschedule or cancel their booking anytime. Just add an edit link to your autoresponder email, and they can update their appointment without needing to contact you. It’s a simple way to save time and keep everything running smoothly.


It only takes a minute to set it up—here’s how:

  1. In Form Builder, in the orange navigation bar at the top of the page, click on Settings.
  2. In the menu on the left side of the page, click on Emails.
  3. Hover your mouse over the Email Autoresponder and click on the Pencil icon to edit it.

  1. Next, under the Email tab, in the Email Content window, click on Form Fields in the top-right corner of the window. 
  2. Then, in the Dropdown menu that opens, click on Edit Link, and move the link wherever you want.
  3. Now, click on Save at the bottom of the page, and you’re all set.

And that’s it! You’ve successfully added an edit link to your email autoresponder, so your users can easily cancel or reschedule their appointments. Here’s how it works for them:

  1. In the Email Autoresponder that they receive, click on Edit Submission Link.

Note

If your appointment field uses two-way sync, this method only works with Google and Outlook Calendars. For Calendly, users need to cancel or reschedule through the email they got from Calendly.
