Bookly Custom Statuses 2.8
Description
Bookly Custom Statuses is a WordPress add-on for Bookly PRO that expands your appointment workflow beyond the default status options. Instead of only “Pending,” “Approved,” “Cancelled,” and “Rejected,” you can define your own labels that match how you schedule clients.
When editing an appointment in Bookly, you can select a custom status such as Rescheduled, No Show, VIP, or To be Reviewed. This improves clarity for staff and helps keep booking information consistent across your process.
The plugin also supports email notifications tied to each custom status, enabling more relevant updates for clients. If you’re building booking experiences with themes and page setups on WordPress (including Elementor layouts), clearer status tracking helps your overall booking UX.
