Drivers
The Moasala Taxi Booking Plugin enables you to add drivers and assign them to trips. Drivers have the capability to accept or reject trip assignments directly from their email notifications.
Adding a Driver
Navigate to ‘Moasala Booking System’ → ‘Drivers’. Add at least one driver to your configuration by clicking the ‘Add New’ button. On the new driver addition page, define the following:
· Title: In the ‘Add title’ field, enter the name of the driver. This name will later be displayed in the plugin’s configuration options.
· Description: In the text editor below the title field, add a short description of the driver.
‘General’ Tab
Below the text editor field, find the ‘General’ tab. Here, you can set additional driver settings such as:
- First and Second Name: Enter the driver’s name
and surname. - Position: Enter the position name, e.g., ‘Driver’.
- Notifications: Select a notification method.
Select at least Email.
‘Contact Details’ Tab
Next to the ‘General’ tab, you will find the ‘Contact Details’ tab. Here, set the contact details for this driver. Initially, it is enough to specify the email address.
- Phone Number: Enter the driver’s phone number.
- E-mail Address: Enter the driver’s email
address. This field is necessary for notifications to work. - Telegram: Advanced configuration for
notifications via Telegram. For the purposes of this guide, it will not be
described here. - Social Profiles: Enter the social profiles of
this driver.
Featured Image
On the right side of the window, find the ‘Featured Image’ meta-box. Click the ‘Set featured image’ link and choose an image from the Media Library that represents the driver.
Publish
Save your settings by clicking the ‘Publish’ button. Your first driver has been successfully added.
Specify the Type of Driver Assignment to the Trip
Specify how drivers are assigned to trips. There are three options:
- The driver
can be assigned to a specific vehicle in the ‘Vehicles’ menu. - The driver
can be assigned to the booking form in the ‘Booking
Forms’ menu. - The driver
can be assigned manually by editing the placed order in the ‘Bookings’ menu.
Assigning a Driver to a Car in the ‘Vehicles’ Menu
Navigate to ‘Moasala Booking System’ → ‘Vehicles’ menu. Edit one of your vehicles by clicking on its name. In the ‘General’ tab, locate the ‘Default Driver’ option and select the driver from the list who will be assigned to this car.
Assigning a driver to a car means that when this car is booked, this driver will receive an email notification about the ride. From the email, they will be able to accept or reject the ride.
Assigning a Driver to the Booking Form
Navigate to ‘Moasala Booking System’ → ‘Booking Forms’ menu. Edit your booking form. Go to the ‘General’ → ‘Main’ tab and locate the ‘Default Driver’ option. Select the driver who will be assigned to this form. You can only choose one.
Assigning a driver to the form means that when any ride is booked through this form, this driver will receive an email notification about the ride. From the email, they will be able to accept or reject the ride.
Assigning a Driver to a Single Booking
Navigate to ‘Moasala Booking System’ → ‘Bookings’ menu and edit any booking by clicking on its name. Go to the ‘Drivers’ tab. Select the driver by checking the ‘Driver’ option. If you want to notify them immediately by email that they have been assigned to this booking, in the ‘Re-send Email Message to the Driver’ option below, select ‘Enable (re-send message)’ and click the ‘Update’ button to accept the changes to this booking.
Good to Know
If you edited a booking to which another driver was already assigned, e.g., a booking for a car that has a driver assigned, you will see the currently assigned driver in the ‘Driver’ option. You can change them.
Configuring Global Settings
Configure the global options related to drivers in the ‘Settings’ → ‘Moasala Booking System’ menu. Go to the ‘Booking Acceptance’ tab.
- Enable the
option for drivers to accept orders (Stage 1). - Create a
new page in your WordPress and insert the following code:
3.[chbs_booking_driver_acceptance_confirmation]- Publish
the page, note the page ID, and copy it. - In the ‘Confirmation Page for Drivers’ field, enter
the copied page ID. - In the ‘Recipient Email Addresses’ field, enter the
administrator’s email address. The administrator will receive a
notification when a driver rejects or accepts the trip. - Save
Changes. Your configuration is complete.
- First and Second Name: Enter the driver’s name
