About This Automation
Cancellations and reschedules require staff to manually search for bookings, check availability, calculate refunds, and notify multiple parties. Manual handling causes delays, errors, and inconsistent customer communication.
Automation retrieves booking details instantly, applies refund policies automatically, updates all systems in real time, and sends confirmations to customers and team members without human intervention.

How The Automation Works
The full workflow, from trigger to completion.
Request arrives via email, form submission, or booking platform. Automation captures customer name, booking ID, request type, and preferred new date if applicable.
Queries booking system to confirm booking exists, retrieves original tour date, customer contact, and payment method. Flags any missing or invalid data.
Checks tour calendar for available dates (if reschedule), calculates refund amount based on policy and payment processor records, and determines refund or credit status.
Automation updates booking status in system, removes customer from tour roster, and initiates refund or credit if applicable.
Automated email sent to customer confirming cancellation, refund timeline, or new tour date with all relevant details and next steps.
Alert sent to tour guide and logistics team with cancellation or reschedule details. Request logged with full audit trail for compliance and follow-up.
