Wix Bookings: Managing Email Notifications You Get
When clients book, cancel, or reschedule a service, or when you need to review a booking request, Wix automatically sends email notifications to you, your staff, and your clients.
When one of your clients books or cancels a service, Wix emails you and the staff member providing the service. You can choose which notifications you want to receive.
Notes:
Email notifications are not sent in preview mode while your site is unpublished or under construction.
When using a merchant account (e.g., PayPal or Stripe), notifications are sent to the email address linked to your payment account.
Type of email notifications you get
There are several types of automated emails to keep everyone informed about bookings and changes. These emails are active by default, but you can deactivate the toggle next to any automation to stop sending them.
Notify me when someone books one of my services
Notify me when someone cancels their booking
Notify me when someone reschedules their booking
Notify me when I need to review a booking request
