Creavi Appointment Booking Calendar

1.6.1

• Kept locally available slots bookable when Google or Outlook availability cannot be verified, while preserving local booking conflict checks.
• Paused event creation for an unhealthy calendar connection without exposing the connection problem to customers.
• Added private per-service admin diagnostics for calendar availability and event-creation failures; reconnecting clears the warning.
• Aligned Google busy-time checks with the Primary calendar used by the service editor and calendar event creation, ignoring stale legacy calendar selections.
• Fixed empty and error messages in the time-slot grid so they span the full row in popup, inline, and Booking Profile block layouts.
• Kept time-slot rows packed at their configured gap when the stable booking layout reserves more vertical space than the selected date needs.

1.6.0

• Added an opt-in REST API for approved integrations to read services and availability, create bookings, retrieve individual bookings, and list today’s bookings or an inclusive date range.
• Added a one-page API connection manager that creates restricted technical accounts and Application Passwords, with per-connection permissions, expiration, rotation, revocation, last-used details, and a ready-to-import Postman collection.
• Added granular API permissions, including a separate sensitive permission for website bookings and bookings created by other connections, plus compact paginated booking-list responses with optional service filtering.
• Shared booking validation and creation between the website form and REST API, including required fields, consent, timezones, buffers, local conflicts, and connected-calendar conflicts.
• Added idempotency keys, seven-day retry-record retention, per-account request limits, database-owned save locks, and separate booking and delivery results to prevent duplicate automated bookings.
• Made Google and Outlook availability checks fail safely when a required provider cannot be verified, and recheck external availability immediately before a booking is saved.
• Added per-service rolling availability windows measured in days or months, including short windows such as four calendar days.
• Added a per-service 12-hour or 24-hour time display across the booking flow, emails, reminders, and calendar descriptions, with a redesigned admin selector.
• Added a 90-minute appointment duration option across the booking flow and calendar integrations.
• Improved Cloudflare and WAF compatibility with a same-origin public availability endpoint, an AJAX fallback, and strict response validation so an HTML challenge cannot be mistaken for an empty calendar.
• Added Date custom fields with native date pickers and corrected browser and server validation for required date and other field types.
• Added light, accessible required-field hints that use the service accent color and work consistently across supported field types.
• Refined the frontend with an aligned calendar, compact 39px date circles, automatic removal of a fully out-of-month sixth week, a balanced popup with a fixed footer and accent-colored overflow scrollbar, a centered slot loader, five time slots per desktop row, fixed 34px slot height, compact inline AM/PM labels, and protected slot and button dimensions that resist theme and page-builder overrides.
• Pre-measured and locked popup and inline booking heights across slot loading, booking steps, and confirmation content, with the busiest configured slot grid reserved before availability loads to prevent layout jumps.
• Added a theme-safe typography bridge that inherits the website font family while protecting calendar, slot, form-control, summary, and action-button metrics from theme and page-builder overrides.
• Updated the Booking Profile block to preserve the intended text/calendar column order and inherit translatable step, field, and button labels from its connected service.
• Restyled the Booking API screen to match the bookings interface, aligned its status and management links, and made destructive revoke actions clearer.
• Fixed Booking API admin-menu registration so the settings page opens correctly and Services remains the first booking submenu.
• Added permanent custom-field IDs, consent policy versions, an API guide, and an OpenAPI specification.

1.5.0

• Redesigned the service editor into a clean, full-width, fixed-order setup with consistent panels, a loading state, and no draggable WordPress metabox controls.
• Added a larger desktop calendar preview with subtle edit shortcuts that jump directly to the related title, description, availability, time-slot, and form settings.
• Reworked inline and popup display settings with clear calendar illustrations, a dedicated popup-button preview, and consistent button styling controls.
• Added a compact movable save panel for publishing, updating, shortcode copying, and privacy-friendly usage-metrics preferences.
• Renamed and improved the Service Image workflow, including immediate live-preview updates and clearer unsaved-change feedback.
• Added 10-minute and 15-minute appointment durations across booking availability, Google Calendar, Outlook Calendar, emails, and video meetings.
• Added Phone Number as a configurable default field and added Telephone and Number custom-field types.
• Made Name, Email, Phone, consent, and custom-field labels and requirements consistent and editable, with {phone} support in email and calendar templates.
• Added an option to display only the booked start time in the footer summary and confirmation emails.
• Added selected-booking exports to CSV and Excel, including core booking data and custom form fields, with Google Sheets-ready CSV output.
• Added per-service calendar localization with the website default plus 67 explicit language and regional choices, localized summaries and confirmation dates, and right-to-left calendar support.
• Hardened booking creation so unpublished services, invalid dates and times, excluded or out-of-window dates, insufficient notice, local conflicts, and connected-calendar conflicts are rechecked before saving.
• Corrected Outlook sync status reporting so a skipped sync is not recorded as successful.
• Improved service-title onboarding, placeholders, tooltips, labels, spacing, alignment, accessibility, and visual consistency throughout the editor.

1.4.10

• Added HTML-capable visual and code editors for customer/admin confirmation and reminder email bodies, including Add Media support for logos.
• Added a conservative email HTML sanitizer that supports presentation tables, inline styles, links, and images while removing scripts, forms, embedded media, and other unsafe markup.
• Added automatic conversion of existing plain-text templates into safe HTML plus a plain-text alternative for clients that cannot display HTML.
• Improved paragraph rendering with explicit block layout, line height, spacing, and Outlook margin fallbacks so editor rows remain separate in delivered emails.
• Added simple, neutral default layouts for customer confirmations, admin notifications, and customer/admin reminders.
• Added a “Use default template” button when a service already has a custom body, without replacing saved content automatically.
• Improved automatically appended video meeting links so HTML emails receive a separate, clickable link row.
• Refined the default emails into clean, left-aligned confirmation letters with stacked details and no visible table design.
• Made “Use default template” persist explicitly during service saving so visual-editor synchronization cannot discard the reset.
• Removed duplicate video-meeting links from the end of default and location-aware emails while retaining a fallback for custom bodies that omit all meeting details.
• Rebuilt default email sections with invisible presentation rows so Gmail and Outlook cannot collapse headings, details, actions, and footer copy onto one line.
• Kept services that use a default email body linked to the current default instead of storing a frozen copy.
• Automatically upgraded untouched older admin booking notifications to the collapse-proof default while preserving customized admin bodies.
• Made edited paragraphs collapse-proof by wrapping each one in an independent presentation row with structural spacing, while preserving color and highlight formatting.
• Removed browser console noise and restricted sanitized Google Calendar diagnostics to development environments with WP_DEBUG enabled.

1.4.9

• Added optional automatic cleanup of completed booking records with preset or custom retention periods.
• Added Trash and permanent-delete cleanup methods, a manual cleanup action, daily batched cleanup, and a clear eligible-booking count.
• Added an optional per-service 5–60 minute buffer between appointments, including local, Google Calendar, and Outlook availability checks.

1.4.8

• Fixed popup scroll locking so closing a booking popup no longer jumps the page position.
• Improved time slot loading feedback with a minimal service-color loading line for popup and inline booking layouts.
• Improved time slot loading speed by removing a frontend delay, aborting stale slot requests, fetching only the selected day from Google Calendar busy checks, and briefly caching remote busy-calendar responses.
• Improved Google and Outlook busy-slot checks so slow remote calendar responses cannot block frontend availability loading for as long.
• Fixed a double-click issue where rapidly clicking Next could accidentally trigger the final booking action.
• Removed the “Book another appointment” button from the thank-you screen in popup and inline booking layouts.
• Fixed repeat bookings without a page refresh by resetting stale success-button state and reloading the selected date’s available slots when the popup is opened again.
