If you’d like your team to review requests before a reservation is confirmed, you can require approval for specific amenity spaces. For each space, you can choose whether reservations are automatically approved when the space is available or require manual approval from your property team.\n\nsetting up the reservation approval process\n\napproving and denying reservations\n\nwhat users will see during the approval process\n\nSetting Up The Reservation Approval Process\nFrom within the individual amenity space:\n\nUnder Reservation Approval Requirements, select require approval prior to reservation.\n\nUnder Notify Reservation Emails, add email addresses to receive notification when the space is booked.\n\nNote: This only needs to be completed if you would like for there to be a different person notified based on each space. If you would like the same person to receive notifications for all approvals, please visit the Property Info section of the dashboard and enter email addresses there.\n\nFrom here, continue setting up your amenity space and click save at the end.\nPlease note: Building Admin roles can bypass amenity approval process, so that bookings will be auto-approved.\nApproving and Denying Reservations\nAs soon as a reservation is requested, it will appear in the Requested tab within the Reservations section of the dashboard.\nApproving a Reservation\nTo approve a reservation request, click the thumbs up icon.\nDenying a Reservation\nTo deny a reservation request, you have two options:\n\nClick the thumbs down icon to deny the request immediately.\n\nClick the magnifying glass to open the reservation side window, where you can optionally add a denial note before denying the request.\n\nDenial notes can only be added from the reservation side window and are not available when using the thumbs-down quick action.
