cancel request or cancellation request

Dear English experts

My team member likes to use the word "cancel request " which is confusing me.
I only heard "cancellation request" before.

My sentence is always like "After you withdrewthe application, your manager will receive a cancellation request.
". But her sentence would be like "After you withdrew the application, your manager will receive a cancel request."
Are we both right? I know "cancel" could be a noun though.

Thank you in advance.
Have a nice day

Ray

Cancellation request is grammatically correct and more natural. But both is fine I think, not a major mistake. I am a native speaker.

It could be changed to 'request to cancel' to use cancel more correctly

Thank you for the reply. It is an important grammar to me. We use this sentence quite frequently. Appreciate!

Also, it should be 'After you withdraw* the application...' because it hasn't happened yet.

Or you can say:
'When the application is withdrawn...'
