How to become a booker
If you will be booking trips for employees as part of your organization or for individuals within another company or organization, you’ll need to sign up as a booker. The below outlines how to do so two different ways.
Option 1: User Profile Setup
Visit the Booking Permission section of your user profile. Scroll to the people you can book for section and select add a traveler. Enter someone’s email address to request permission to book and manage their business trips. They will receive an email to accept (they must have an Airbnb account to do so). You’ll then receive a confirmation that you can now book for them.
Option 2: Administrator Permissions
Ask your dashboard administrator(s) to update your role to booker in the dashboard. Doing this will allow you to book for all users in the organization who share the org’s domain, and that work domain email is linked to the user’s Airbnb account.
