Automatic Cancellation Rules for Activities

Written by Nettla

In Nettla, Activity Types and Sessions can have automatic cancellation rules to help you optimize your schedule and improve activity occupancy.

Club controlled settings

As a club admin, you define:

  • Minimum number of participants required for the activity

  • How many hours before start the system should auto-cancel the session if the minimum hasn’t been met

These two settings work together to determine whether an activity goes ahead or is automatically cancelled.

Last-Minute Player Cancellations

To prevent last-minute cancellations from causing an entire session to be cancelled:

  • The same auto-cancel time window is used to control how late a player can cancel their spot

  • If a player tries to cancel after the cancellation rule has taken effect, they’ll be shown a message directing them to contact the club

This gives you, as an operator, control:

  • If you remove the player manually → the session may auto-cancel if it drops below the minimum

  • If you keep the player → the session stays active, even if it’s below the threshold

This system ensures fair cancellation handling and helps you avoid losing full sessions due to last-minute dropouts.
