FAQs
Q: As an Admin, if I make a reservation on behalf of a member, will they still receive email notifications?
A: Yes! So long as the notification checkbox is left enabled, the member will receive a confirmation email once the reservation is made. The member will also receive any further communications such as if the event is edited or canceled.
Best Practices
- Be sure to not make reservations, edits, or cancel a reservation before speaking with the member.
- Navigate to the day of the reservation on the calendar before making reservations so you may review the schedule before adding additional reservations.
