Prebooking Event Schedule

This plugin lets you manage event calendars (event sessions, workshops, webinars, etc.), pre-bookings of sessions, and send email notifications.
Main features:
* Create event calendars
* Manage themes and sessions
* Pre-booking system with manual validation
* Automatic email notifications
* Clean and intuitive admin interface

How it works

The plugin provides a progressive 4-step booking experience for your visitors:

Step 1: Choose a category
Visitors browse visually appealing category cards (each with customizable colors) representing different event themes.

Step 2: Select an event
After choosing a category, available events are displayed. Each event can be assigned to a specific place with description.

Step 3: Pick a date
Up to 5 different date options can be configured per session. Visitors see formatted dates and can select their preferred schedule.

Step 4: Fill contact details
A simple form collects: first name, last name, email and phone. Upon submission, both the visitor and admin receive confirmation emails.

Admin features:
– Manage all bookings from a centralized dashboard with search and status filters
– Change booking statuses (pending, confirmed, cancelled, etc.) with one click
– Automatic email notifications sent when status changes
– Customizable email templates with dynamic variables ({firstname}, {name}, {email}, {phone}, {theme}, {date})
– Color customization for categories and general interface
– Optional DeepL integration for automatic translations
– Optional DeepL integration for automatic translations

External services

When translation is enabled, text (category names, statuses) is sent to DeepL API for translation. No personal user data is transmitted.
