How to Change Email Content when Booking Status is Changed?

WP Travel / WP Travel Pro plugin provides various email templates that will be received during booking only and booking with payments. In this guide, you’ll learn how you can change email content when booking status is changed.

In the earlier update, a function was added, so that when the admin changes the booking status email will be sent to the customer.

Now, with the release of WP Travel v8.2.0, the function has been added, so the admin can customize the booking status email as per the requirements using the filter code.
