If I have a normal service that has been used to create a recurrent set of bookings, how can I cancel the recurrent set of bookings from the API?

getRecurringSettings doesn’t seem to work, and getRecurringDatetimes seems to require already knowing the recurrent schedule. How can I provide one booking and determine if it’s part of a recurring sequence? And then cancel the entire sequence?

Thank you!

Hi, you can use cancelBatch($id, $bookingIds)

to get batchId you can call Company administration service methods - Company administration service methods - SimplyBook.me

Ok thank you. Now that I have the batchId, how can I cancel the entire batch? CancelBatch requires the batchId AND the list of bookingIds, but I don’t know how I can get the list of booking Ids just from the batchId?

Thank you!

Hi, thank you for question. Unfortunately there is no method to get all bookings by batch id.

So how do you recommend we cancel bookings that are part of a batch? Or does cancelling one automatically cancel the entire batch? Thank you!

you need to know (store locally) ids of batch bookings. I know, not the best way but the only possibility for now.
If this bookings were not created by API you may use Company administration service methods - Company administration service methods - SimplyBook.me

Does the getBookings method take the batchId as a param? Or do I have to pass clientId and then go through the results and search for all matches to my batchId manually?

Thank you!
