Staff bookings and choosing the notification language

Back to top

Staff language menu

With your email notifications translated into other languages, Staff can choose the language the notification sends when creating a new booking from the system's back-end, for example, via the New Booking (Booking > New Booking) option.

A unique Customer Language field appears on the booking form and is visible to Staff members only. The drop-down menu is pre-populated with any active Customer languages in your system.

The language selected in this field causes relevant notifications to send in that language per their schedule.
