Tell us what you are trying to do?
I want to add the 'Approved' category to the taxonomy (Category) of 'Approved Status' after the "Create event" form has been submitted.

Is there any documentation that you are following?
https://toolset.com/documentation/programmer-reference/cred-api/

Here is the code which I am using:

add_action('cred_save_data', 'add_event_status',10,2);
function add_event_status($post_id, $form_data)
{

// if the form is create event form, ID: 63
if ($form_data['id']==63)
{
// I am not sure what function to use but I want to add the 'Approved' category to the taxonomy of 'Approved Status'
update_post_meta($post_id, 'wpcf-approved-status', 'approved');
// add_post_meta($post_id, 'wpcf-approved-status', $_POST['wpcf-approved-status'], true);
}
}

Hi, check the WordPress API function wp_set_object_terms:
https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/wp_set_object_terms

You need to know the object ID (which is $post_id in your example), the term slug or ID, and the taxonomy slug. Then the format is like this:

wp_set_object_terms( $post_id, 'term-slug', 'taxonomy-slug' );
