What hook to be used for cancelled booking in WooCommerce Bookings? - php

Question

I'm trying to make an SQL query to run upon cancellation of a booking, via a custom plugin, updating custom user meta data.
Here's my code:
function wporg_callback() {
global $wpdb;
$wpdb->query("UPDATE usermeta SET meta_value = 15 WHERE umeta_id = 131");
}
add_action('woocommerce_bookings_cancelled_booking', 'wporg_callback');
But It's not working.
Is there something wrong with the query? Is the right action not being used?
Edit - I Also tried the following without success:
add_action('woocommerce_bookings_cancelled_booking', 'wporg_callback');
function wporg_callback( $booking_id ) {
// Add/Update custom user meta data
update_user_meta( 2, 'download_credits', 17 );
}

Updated:
The correct hook to be used is woocommerce_booking_cancelled (a composite hook) that will allow you to retrieve the user ID and to Add/update custom user meta data like below:
add_action('woocommerce_booking_cancelled', 'booking_cancelled_transition_to_callback', 10, 2 );
function booking_cancelled_transition_to_callback( $booking_id, $booking ) {
// Get the user ID from the Booking ID
$user_id = get_post_field ('post_author', $booking_id);
$download_credits = get_post_meta( $booking_id, '_booking_cost', true );
// Add/Update custom user meta data
update_user_meta( $user_id, 'download_credits', $download_credits );
}
Code goes in functions.php file of your active child theme (or theme). Tested and works.
How to get the booking data (from the booking ID displayed in the order):
Go to your database under wp_postmeta table to get the desired meta_key from the post_id (that is the booking ID)
Use that meta key in get_post_meta() WordPress function like:
$meta_value = get_post_meta($booking_id, 'the_meta_key', true);
Notes:
An SQL query is not needed to add/update custom user meta data, as you can use instead the dedicated Wordpress function update_user_meta().
I couldn't make it work using woocommerce_bookings_cancelled_booking hook.
