How do Public Bookings work?

In this article, we'll have a detailed look on how public booking works and certain things to keep in mind while booking meeting rooms.

1. Meeting rooms that are enabled to be booked publicly will show up to members from other Spaces that are part of the Spacecubed Network. These rooms need previous configuration to be displayed to members who are not part of the Space Tenant or who do not have an active membership. 

To make a meeting room public, follow the guide How to enable meeting rooms to be booked by non-members (external users)? 

2. Public bookings are reservations of Meeting Rooms made by non-members. The main distinction between normal bookings is that the Room and the Location need previous configuration, and the price calculation includes a different fee, intended for non-members.

Tip: You can share the link to a Meeting Room that has been enabled as publicly bookable, by copying the link found in the Meeting Rooms tab. 

This link will take a person to a page specific for that Meeting Room

Important to note

Non-members making external bookings will be required to pay in advance to confirm their reservation, as opposed to active members whose bookings are included in the Upcoming invoice issued on the 1st of the following month.

Note: Currently, external bookings do not qualify for Booking Credits. Consequently, these bookings must be paid in full.

Booking Notification

Once a booking has been confirmed and payment has been made, an email will be sent to all designated space administrators who have been set to receive notifications for external bookings. The email will contain detailed information about the room, its duration, and the name of the individual who made the reservation.
