How to Cancel Your Appointment in 12Twenty

To cancel your appointment, go to the ‘Appointments’ tab and click on into your appointment by selecting the time slot that is posted as your appointment time in purple.

Select ‘Yes, cancel it’ to confirm the cancellation. If you’d like to change your appointment details (i.e. the notes, upload a resume, or the appointment type) instead of hitting ‘Cancel Appointment’ select ‘Edit’ to make your changes and then ‘Save’ to confirm changes.
Once you have cancelled your appointment, you will be able to see other appointment options pop onto your screen. If you’d like to reschedule, select a new time slot that works for you and follow the process for scheduling appointments.
