I need to update additional fields for booking. Currently, I call GET on [https://user-api-v2.simplybook.me/admin/bookings/XXX](https://user-api-v2.simplybook.me/admin/bookings/XXX) and PUT the same data back with additionalFields updated and everything else unchanged.

This works, but a notification mail is sent to the customer. This is the same issue as described by #1150 and makes updates useless for many use cases. Is there any way to avoid sending these mails when updating data? In the backend I noticed that users can update bookings with

```
skip_notifications: true
```
, but I can’t seem to find an equivalent for the backend.

Is there some way to not send a notification? Maybe through another API? We need this for implementing custom logic in a campaign.

Hi,

Sorry at the moment there is no such option in REST API, we will add it later.
