Update Booking

Bookings can be updated using the JetFormBuilder form and its “Update Booking” post-submit action to change booking fields on the front end.

NOTE

The JetBooking plugin should be installed and activated to access the “Update Booking” post-submit action.

Post-Submit Action Settings

The Post Submit Actions tab can be found in the JetForm section of the form.

Once the “Update Booking” option is selected in the Post Submit Actions tab, the “pencil” button should be clicked to open the action settings.

When the button is clicked, the settings pop-up is opened. 

The pop-up includes the following customization fields:

  • BOOKING ID — a field obligatory for completing. It should be connected to the form field indicating the booking ID. For instance, it can be the Hidden Field with the “Current Booking ID” FIELD VALUE;
  • CHECK-IN/OUT DATE FIELD — a field obligatory for completing. It should be connected to the form field indicating the check-in/check-out dates; 
  • FIELDS MAP — optional fields that correspond to the columns added in the JetBooking settings (Tools tab). The following fields should be assigned to the form fields added to the booking update form.

To save the action, one should click the “Update” button.

Once the form is built, the “Publish/Save” button should be pressed.

Form Submission

The form should be placed on any desired needed page/template.

For instance, our form is placed in the pop-up (built with the JetPopUp plugin) and connected with the listing put on the account page (created with JetEngine). 

In our case, the pop-up with the form can be opened by pressing the “Edit booking” button.

Booking Update Check

To check the update, one should open the WordPress Dashboard > Bookings directory. 

Then, the booking, just edited on the front end, should be opened.

The new data should now be filled in as values in the corresponding fields.
