🧾 Confirmation of reservations created via automated script

This article explains how the confirmation of reservations that have been automatically generated through a script works. πŸ“ Exclusive functionality of the Parking module.

Updated over 3 weeks ago

πŸ“Œ Why is confirmation required?


Reservations created through automated scripts are generated without direct user interaction.
To ensure that these reservations will actually be used, the system asks the user to:
​


πŸ‘‰ Confirm whether they will keep the reservation or not.


This process helps optimize the use of available space and prevents spots from being blocked by reservations that will never be used.

πŸ•’ Time limit to confirm


Users will be able to confirm their reservation until the time limit configured by the organization.
​
πŸ”΄ If it is not confirmed within the time limit, the reservation will automatically change to the β€œLost” status.

πŸ”” Notifications


The system can send automatic reminders to the user, depending on the configured settings:

  • Reminder before the deadline expires.

  • Successful reservation confirmation.

πŸ“± Where do I confirm the reservation?

Users can confirm directly from the app:

Menu β†’ My reservations β†’ Select the reservation β†’ Confirm reservation

βœ… Note: This option will only be visible for reservations created via an automated script and within the valid confirmation period.

βš™οΈ Configuration for administrators

Administrators have a dedicated section to enable or adjust this functionality from the Parking module settings panel.

In this section you will find:

πŸ”˜ Toggle β€” Enable confirmation feature


Allows you to enable or disable this functionality.

Once enabled, all reservations generated by script must be confirmed before the configured deadline.

⏱ Time configuration fields


When the functionality is enabled, two fields appear:
