The traditional Booking Email Template restricts you to send Supplier bookings within an itinerary. Bulk Booking Emailer extends the existing functionality to allow you to send bulk bookings across multiple itineraries. With this new booking functionality, you can perform multiple tasks, such as filter the booking statuses, search bookings by a date range, save a booking layout to use later and much more.
The bulk booking emailer feature lets you send bulk emails through a single booking template to several suppliers ranging multiple itineraries.
