FluentBooking 2.1.0: Bookings CSV Export, No-show Triggers, PHP 8.4 Compatibility & More

FluentBooking 2.1.0 is a focused update on reporting workflows, admin-list ergonomics, scheduler performance, and platform readiness — all without rearranging the day-to-day booking flow you already know.

We shipped Bookings CSV Export right where you’d expect it — a one-click download that respects every filter you’ve already set and every column you’ve ever needed. Alongside it, the admin’s Bookings list now remembers your Author and Status filters between sessions, so you stop re-filtering every time you reopen it.

Under the hood, the scheduler does less work per cycle — fewer queries, snappier dashboard, polite to your hosting plan. And the whole codebase is clean on PHP 8.4, so hosts rolling out the new runtime keep moving without a deprecation log to babysit.

Introduced: Bookings CSV Export with Filter Hooks

Your bookings, your spreadsheet, your call. The new Export CSV action lives right next to the search box on the Bookings list — built for the moments when copy-pasting just won’t cut it. Whether you’re closing the books at month-end, prepping a CRM import, or pulling attendee lists for a sponsor, the data you’ve been staring at all morning is now one click away.

The export honors everything you’ve already set up — same period, same author, same event type, same search. No second-guessing, no re-filtering, no wading through irrelevant rows. Every line carries the details you actually need: booking ID, group ID, event title, host, attendee name and email, phone, status, start/end time, duration, meeting location, full UTM attribution, source URL, attendee IP and device, timezone, and the booking creation time — so you can split bookings by when they came in, not just when they happen.

If you charge for events, FluentBookingPro grows the file by ten more columns automatically — order number, currency, subtotal, discount, tax, total amount, paid-at, refunded-at, transaction type, and the gateway charge ID — formatted with your store’s currency settings. Accounting reconciliation becomes a single download instead of three tabs of cross-referencing.

Built for real workloads: up to 2,000 bookings per export by default, and the file opens cleanly in Excel, Google Sheets, or Numbers with emojis, accented names, and currency symbols intact. Cross the cap and FluentBooking tells you upfront how many were skipped and prompts you to narrow the filters — so nobody walks away thinking they got the full picture when they didn’t.

Permissions stay sensible: admins export everything, hosts export their own bookings, read-only viewers don’t get a bulk-export firehose they shouldn’t have. For developers, four filters open the export up: fluent_booking/data_export_limit to change the row cap, fluent_booking/booking_export_eager_loads to bring in extra related data, fluent_booking/booking_export_row to add, modify, or remove columns per row, and fluent_booking/booking_export_columns for a final pass over the assembled rows.

Added: No-Show Trigger for FluentCRM Automations

No-shows are a workflow signal, not just a status badge. FluentBooking 2.1.0 adds a No-Show trigger to the FluentCRM event feed — the moment you mark a booking as a no-show, your CRM automations fire. Tag the contact, drop them into a re-engagement sequence, send a “we missed you” email, or route them to a sales follow-up list. No manual cleanup, no exports, no glue scripts.

Pair it with the existing booking-created and cancelled triggers and you’ve got the full attendance lifecycle wired into FluentCRM — every state the booking lands in pushes the contact into the right journey automatically.

Added: Saved List Filters on Bookings

You’ve already picked an Author. You’ve already narrowed to Cancelled. Then you click into a booking, hit back, and… everything resets. Not anymore. FluentBooking 2.1.0 persists your Author and Status filters in browser local storage, so the Bookings list reopens exactly where you left it — across reloads, across tabs, across days. Less re-filtering, less muscle-memory drift, more time on the bookings that actually need you.

Added: PHP 8.4 Compatibility

If you’ve updated your stack to PHP 8.4, FluentBooking 2.1.0 runs clean — no deprecation warnings on null-to-string coercion, no spurious notices in the request log. Hosting providers rolling out PHP 8.4 by default? You’re covered.

Improved: Snappier Scheduler and Admin Queries

Behind the scenes, FluentBooking’s scheduler now plays nice with busy databases. Reporting widgets, scheduler runs, and team listings all do less work per page load — so the dashboard feels a touch quicker on every screen, and your hosting plan stops getting yelled at on the busy weeks.
