Important
All add-ons for Bookly require Bookly PRO installed and activated.
The default version of Bookly Pro plugin provides you with 5 regular appointment statuses of 'Pending', 'Approved', 'Cancelled', 'Rejected' and 'Done'. With the Custom Statuses (Add-on), you will be able to create a set of advanced statuses for your appointments.
Custom statuses will help you to manage the whole list of your bookings more effectively and link custom Email/SMS notifications and reminders based on them. They also can be used as a Default status of the newly created appointments (Settings > Appointments > Default appointment status).
Get the Custom Statuses (Add-on) and build your own booking process that fits your internal scheduling rules and covers different situations.
