write Confirm

MCP tool glossgenius_cancel_appointment

Cancels the appointment and removes it from your calendar, or the whole repeating series with whole_series. With notify_client on, GlossGenius emails and texts the client about the cancellation.

Parameters

Add client

write

MCP tool glossgenius_add_client
