What is Inbox Sync?
Inbox Sync automatically adds travel plans to TripIt for you, importing your booking confirmation emails to update and create itineraries—no manual work required! Every time a travel confirmation email arrives in your inbox, we’ll automatically import it to TripIt to create a new itinerary or update an existing trip.
“Inbox Sync ensures that all my travel bookings are automatically sent to TripIt to create a comprehensive itinerary for every trip.” - Kendyl Grender, budget-travel hacking coach
Simply connect your Gmail, Google Workspace, Outlook, Microsoft 365, Hotmail, and Yahoo! Mail inboxes with your TripIt account. Once connected, your travel plans are automatically added to your TripIt account. You never have to remember to forward an email again.
“TripIt is my go-to app for everything itinerary-related, and Inbox Sync ensures that all my travel bookings are automatically sent to TripIt to create a comprehensive itinerary for every trip,” says Kendyl Grender, budget-travel hacking coach. “My trips are almost always complicated—they’re often multi-week trips, involving half a dozen countries, cities, flights, and so on—and TripIt handles it all.”
