# Method name: declineBooking(bookingId: string, revision: string, options: DeclineBookingOptions)

# Method package: wixBookingsV2

# Method menu location: wixBookingsV2 --> bookings --> declineBooking

# Method Link: https://dev.wix.com/docs/velo/apis/wix-bookings-v2/bookings/decline-booking.md

# Method Description:

Declines a `PENDING` booking request and changes the booking status to
`DECLINED`.

Calling this method also changes the
[session's](https://www.wix.com/velo/reference/wix-bookings-backend/sessions/getsession)
`participants.approvalStatus` to `DECLINED`.

You can only decline bookings for services that require the owner's manual
approval for bookings and that have a status of `PENDING`.

You can pass a `participantNotification.message` to notify the customer of
the decline. You also need to pass `participantNotification.notifyParticipants`
as `true` to actually send the message.



# Method Code Examples:

*** Note: do not assume any prop names or enum values other than the ones in the example.
