Set Up Booking Validation

Control access to your most valuable spots by requiring manual approval.

✅

Your VIP room deserves a bouncer! That big conference room on the top floor with the panoramic view? The one everyone books "just for a quick call"? With manual validation, you decide who gets access. This is your moment of power. Use it wisely.

Validating a booking request with one click
Step by step
1 Enable validation

In your spot settings, choose the validation mode: automatic (default) or manual. In manual mode, each booking must be approved by an administrator.

2 Manage requests

When a user books a spot in validation mode, you receive a notification. From your dashboard or by email, you can approve or reject the request with one click.

3 Set up validators

Choose which administrators are authorized to validate bookings. You can also set specific validators per spot.

Reserve manual validation only for your most strategic spots. For others, automatic validation offers a better user experience.
Need a workflow where several approvers take turns? The Multi-level approval guide takes over.
