- Email Templates shows a preview of the email you pick, and it updates as you type.

- Click Resend confirmation. View all emails shows what was sent and whether it landed.
A guest who cancelled still gets reminders
If a guest cancels by phone, by email or through another system, the booking stays live in Stampede until you cancel it here, so its reminders keep going.
- Open the booking on the Day Planner and click Cancel.
- Tick or untick Send cancellation notification.
- Click Cancel booking.
Still getting them? Check the guest has no second booking on the same date.

- Send booking confirmation email decides whether a booking you create by hand gets one.
- Emails is greyed out when the booking has no email address.
