and apply ‘Cancel’ as the status it is looked upon as a ‘soft delete’ moving the registered customer into a ‘blocked/deny’ status. If the customer re-registers from a webform it indicates an error message saying that the email is already listed but prevented from ‘re-registering’ for the event.

A clear and concise description of what you want to happen.

Having a ‘DELETE’ webinar registrant instead of just a status update through the Zoom Webinar API.

Since we are using our own email templates we do not have access to hard delete webinar registrants.
