How to Manage Emails Notifications in services

Email Notifications are the default communication channel in Cowlendar and are available starting from the Free plan.

By default, all customers automatically receive email notifications for every booking event, including confirmations, reminders, reschedules, and cancellations. No additional setup is required to start using email.

Because email remains the most reliable contact method for most customers, we strongly recommend keeping email notifications enabled for all services.
