👤 What Can Bookers Do on Gable?

Here’s what you can (and can’t) do with the Booker role on Gable.


👥 Who Are Bookers Typically?

Bookers are often Executive Assistants (EAs) booking on behalf of their executives, or managers booking for their teams. Gable makes it easy to book and manage reservations for others, even if they’re not on the platform yet.


✅ Booker Capabilities

As a Booker, you can easily search for, reserve, and manage workspaces across Gable. Here’s what’s included in your role:

  • 🔍 Search for Workspaces
    Browse On-Demand and Company Office spaces using filters for location, date, capacity, amenities, and more.

  • 🧾 Book a Space
    Submit booking requests or instantly reserve spaces (depending on your company’s setup).

  • 👤 Assign Bookings to a Teammate
    Booking on behalf of someone else? Use the Assign Booking field during checkout to select the correct team member.

  • 💳 Select or Add a Credit Card at Checkout
    If your company has enabled Personal Credit Card support, you’ll be prompted to:

    • Choose from saved cards

    • Or add a new one directly at checkout

  • 📅 Manage Your Bookings
    View and cancel upcoming bookings (based on the workspace’s cancellation policy).

  • 📍 Bypass Geofence Restrictions (limited)
    Bookings made directly by a Booker or Admin can override company geofencing rules only for other Booker/Admin bookings.

  • 📩 Receive Booking Confirmations
    Booking confirmations are automatically sent via email or Slack, depending on your team’s settings.


✨ Key Features for Executive Assistants (EAs)

  • 👥 Book for Directory Users
    You can book for teammates who aren’t Gable users yet—as long as they exist in your company’s HR system (HRIS).
    ➕ Gable will automatically create a user profile when the booking is made.

  • 🔕 Turn Off Notifications to the Executive
    When booking on behalf of someone else, you can suppress notifications to the person you’re booking for.
    You (the booker) will still receive all updates—confirmation, changes, cancellations, and reminders.


🚫 Booker Limitations

Bookers do not have access to administrative or workspace management tools. Here’s what’s restricted:

  • ⚙️ No Access to Admin Settings
    You won’t be able to modify integrations, company policies, or billing info.

  • 🏢 No Editing Workspace Listings
    Listing management is handled by Hosts and Gable.

  • 👥 No User Management
    Only Admins can invite users, assign roles, or deactivate accounts.

  • 📊 No Analytics or Reporting Tools
    Insights and reporting dashboards are not available to Bookers.


🔄 Need More Access?

If your role at your company changes, your team’s Admin can update your permissions.
