Each notification (“send”) is configured from a settings screen and can have its own: * Internal name (for your own reference — not shown to recipients) * Timing offset (e.g. tomorrow, in 2 days, in 10 days) * Optional day-of-week restriction (e.g. only run this one on Fridays) * Weekend mode — a single Friday schedule that automatically covers both Saturday and Sunday bookings in one run * Scope — either a set of WooCommerce product categories, or an explicit list of individual products (useful on smaller sites with few bookable products) * Recipient list Sends run automatically once daily via WP-Cron. For sites where WP-Cron’s page-visit- dependent timing isn’t reliable enough (low traffic, full-page caching), the settings screen documents a real server-cron fallback using WP-CLI. ## Installation 1. Upload the plugin files to the `/wp-content/plugins/do-it-simply-booking-notifications` directory, or install the plugin through the WordPress Plugins screen directly. 2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ screen in WordPress. 3. Ensure WooCommerce and WooCommerce Bookings are both installed and active — this plugin has no function without them. 4. Go to the “Booking Notifications” menu item in wp-admin to configure your first send: give it an internal name, choose a timing offset, select the product categories or products it should cover, and enter recipient email addresses. 5. Save. Sends run automatically once daily via WP-Cron. For sites with low traffic or aggressive page caching, see the reliability note on the settings screen for a server-cron alternative. ## FAQ ### Does this work without WooCommerce Bookings? No. This plugin only sends notifications about WooCommerce Bookings — it has no function on a site without WooCommerce and WooCommerce Bookings both active. ### Will my scheduled emails go out at exactly the time I set? By default, sends run once daily via WP-Cron, which fires on the next site visit after the scheduled time — usually within minutes on an active site, but potentially later on very low-traffic sites or ones behind aggressive page caching. See the reliability note on the settings screen for a server-cron alternative that guarantees exact timing. ### Can I send weekend booking lists without setting up two separate schedules? Yes — select “Weekend — fires Friday, sends Sat + Sun” as the day restriction. A single schedule will automatically send Saturday’s bookings and Sunday’s bookings in one Friday cron run. ## Reviews There are no reviews for this plugin. ## Contributors & Developers “Do It Simply Booking Notifications” is open source software.

Changed to exact numeric match (=) for single product queries. #### 3.1.2 * Fixed: inline JavaScript moved to an enqueued external file (assets/admin.js) per WP plugin review requirements. #### 3.1.1 * Fixed: removed unnecessary direct inclusion of wp-admin/includes/plugin.php flagged by WP plugin review. * Fixed: recipients field now sanitized per-address using sanitize_email() rather than as a plain text string. #### 3.1.0 * Added “Weekend” day restriction option — a single Friday schedule now covers both Saturday (+1 day) and Sunday (+2 days) bookings in one cron run, removing the need for two separate weekend schedules. * Fixed: product category scope now correctly includes child categories (e.g. selecting a parent coaching category finds products in all sub-categories). * Fixed: product type filter removed from category scope query — previously caused bookable products to be silently missed if their product type slug was registered differently by WooCommerce Bookings. * Added: error logging throughout dis_be_run_sends() for easier diagnosis of missed or unexpected sends. #### 3.0.0 * Major rework: replaced hardcoded per-site cron scripts and code-level email timing with a settings screen inside wp-admin. * Added repeating “sends” — add, edit, or remove any number of scheduled notifications without editing code. * Added support for scoping a send by WooCommerce product category or by an explicit product list. * Added optional day-of-week restriction per send. * Added WP-Cron based daily scheduling, registered on plugin activation and cleared on deactivation. * Added an in-admin reliability note documenting the real-cron/WP-CLI fallback for low-traffic or heavily cached sites. * Renamed internal functions to remove site-specific naming (e.g. `create_wye_booking_email()`` dis_be_build_and_send_email()`), in preparation for reuse across sites. * Fixed: email subject lines showing raw HTML entities (e.g. `’`) instead of decoded characters. * Removed dependency on external, per-site cron script files (`all-bookings-list- email.php` and variants) — these are retired in favour of the built-in scheduler. #### 2.0.0 * Previous version. Email timing, recipients, and product/category scope were hardcoded in per-site cron script files, requiring a code change for any new send, schedule, or scope adjustment. ## Meta * Version **3.1.3** * Last updated **2 days ago** * Active installations **Fewer than 10** * WordPress version ** 6.0 or higher ** * Tested up to **7.0.7** * PHP version ** 7.4 or higher ** * Tags * [bookings](https://wordpress.org/plugins/tags/bookings/)[email](https://wordpress.org/plugins/tags/email/) [Notifications](https://wordpress.org/plugins/tags/notifications/)[woocommerce](https://wordpress.org/plugins/tags/woocommerce/) [WooCommerce Bookings](https://wordpress.org/plugins/tags/woocommerce-bookings/) * [Advanced View](https://wordpress.org/plugins/do-it-simply-booking-notifications/advanced/) ## Ratings No reviews have been submitted yet.
