Send Cancellation Confirmation Email (Cloud)
When a reservation is cancelled, it’s best practice to send a cancellation confirmation email to the guest so they have official notice. You can do this using the “Confirm Letter” tool in Visual Matrix Cloud. The content of the email is determined by your property’s cancellation template (in Property Settings > Letters). Make sure the reservation is cancelled first, the guest’s email is on file, and that any custom confirmation letter is removed (if present) to avoid conflicts.
Path: Front Office > Reservations > Search for the reservation
If a Custom Confirmation Letter is attached to the reservation, remove it before cancelling the reservation. Otherwise, the guest will receive both the default cancellation wording in the email body and the custom confirmation letter as an attachment.
Instructions
1. If the reservation is not yet cancelled, cancel it now.
2. In the reservation’s Toolbox (right side), click Confirm Letter to send the Cancellation Confirmation Email using your property’s configured template.
