March 2026 Product Roundup

March is that sweet spot where winter starts loosening its grip and Q1 chaos finally slows to a dull roar. It’s got a lot going for it: pints of Guinness on St. Patrick’s Day and nonstop basketball thanks to March Madness.

This month, the Skedda team shipped a few quality-of-life updates to cap off a busy Q1, the kind of improvements that make day-to-day space management feel that much simpler. 

March’s theme: More control, less friction

This month’s releases focus on giving teams better ways to manage spaces and workflows without jumping through hoops (or handing out full admin access just to get one thing done). Expect smoother handoffs, policies that actually match how workplaces operate, and more automation for the moments when bookings inevitably change.

Here’s what’s new:

Assigned Spaces Management for Custom Admins

Assigned spaces are fantastic… right up until someone needs to update an assignment and suddenly it’s a full system admin or IT problem. Situations like this end up taking too much time to manage, even when you’re just trying to keep seating plans and allocations up to date in certain zones. 

Our latest improvement to Custom Admin Roles reduces that friction. 

What’s new

Now, custom admins can assign and reassign the spaces they manage directly from the booking modal, making it easier to manage seating allocations without needing full system access or opening a ticket with IT. 

Why this matters

This is one of those small changes that pays dividends immediately:

• Fewer bottlenecks day-to-day allocation updates no longer depend on the one person with the keys to the kingdom.
• More delegation (without over-permissioning): you can give the right people the ability to manage assignments without handing them full system admin control.
• Faster “keep the seating chart accurate” workflows: when teams move, desks shift, or allocations change, updating Skedda stays quick and contained.

Bonus: a quicker shortcut for all admins

This update also adds a convenient shortcut for all admins to assign or reassign a space without navigating through space settings, so the whole process is faster even if you do have full admin access.

Simpler workflows, better delegation, fewer “can you please update this one thing” messages. The dream.

Flexible Check-in Window

Check-in rules are supposed to help confirm real usage. But if your policy falls apart over a weekend gap, it’s not really a “rule,” it’s more of a suggestion.

With this update, Skedda gives you more control over when bookings are confirmed, with check-in rules that are easier to match to how your workplace actually runs.

What’s new

• Extend check-in windows up to 48 or 72 hours before a booking starts. This is especially helpful for weekend gaps. For example, users can check in for a Monday booking even if that window falls on Saturday or Sunday.
• Tailor check-in rules by day of the week. You can set different policies for different day groups. Think: one rule for Mondays, another for Tuesday–Friday, so your check-in logic matches your real operations.

Why it matters

This is one of those deceptively simple updates that removes a ton of day-to-day friction:

• Fewer accidental cancellations / no-shows caused by check-in windows opening during off-hours.
• Policies that match how people actually work, instead of forcing your workplace into a one-size-fits-none rule.
• More reliable usage data, because the check-in process is timed around when people are realistically able to respond. 

Zapier: More Booking Lifecycle Triggers

If you’ve been using Zapier to automate workflows off Skedda bookings and thought, “Cool, but I need more than new booking,” congratulations: you’re correct, and we agree.

This month, we expanded our Zapier integration to support more of the booking lifecycle, so your automations don’t fall apart the second someone edits or cancels a booking.

New triggers

You can now build Zaps off these events:

• Updated Internal Booking
• Updated User Booking
• Cancelled Internal Booking
• Cancelled User Booking

Previously, Zapier only supported New Internal Booking and New User Booking, so this is a solid step forward for richer automation workflows. As always, thank you for the feedback!

Why it matters

More lifecycle triggers means more reliable automation, like:

• Updating a Slack/Teams message or internal workflow when meeting details change (time, space, attendees).
• Automatically notifying support teams when a booking is cancelled, so nobody sets up a room for a meeting that no longer exists.
• Keeping downstream systems (task tools, ticketing, spreadsheets, whatever humans are using this week) in sync without manual cleanup.

That’s March

This month was all about making admin control more practical and automation more powerful: easier assigned space management (without over-permissioning), check-in policies that can actually survive weekends, and more Zapier triggers so booking workflows don’t die the moment something changes.

See ya, March – we’re onto April, and to an exciting Q2 of new releases. Stay tuned, big things are coming from our team here at Skedda.
