Inbox Sync automatically adds travel plans from your email inbox to your TripIt itinerary
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. Inbox Sync can be activated in the TripIt app and TripIt website.
In the TripIt app:
- Tap the 'Account' tab (bottom right of the screen),
- Tap your name located at the top of the Account page.
- Tap the email address(es) you wish to activate Inbox Sync in the 'Email Addresses' section.
- Enable the 'Inbox Sync' toggle.
- Click your 'Profile' icon (top right of any page).
- Click 'Account' > 'Profile'.
- Click on the email address(es) you wish to activate Inbox Sync in the 'Email Addresses' section.
- Click the blue 'Activate Inbox Sync' button.
Unable to activate Inbox Sync?
If you have Google's Advanced Protection Program enabled, this feature prevents third-party apps, including ours, from connecting with your inbox in order to automatically import travel plans. The only workaround is to disable Advanced Protection from your Google account. If you'd like to keep this feature, you can always add trips by forwarding your confirmation emails to plans@tripit.com.
Microsoft 365
Your company can block connections to applications such as TripIt. If your company has blocked TripIt, you will see a message similar to this when trying to enable Inbox Sync: 
This means you will not be able to turn on Inbox Sync on your Microsoft 365 email address. Your company controls whether you see this message. You can select a different email address to add to your TripIt account or, as an alternative to Inbox Sync, you can always forward your travel confirmation emails to plans@tripit.com.
Notes
- Inbox Sync will not give TripIt access to your email account password.
- Inbox Sync is an optional feature you elect to authorize and is not required to use TripIt.
- Once authorized, import is not immediate. You can expect your travel bookings to be imported within 24 hours
- At sign up, TripIt will look for travel-related emails you received in the last 7 days, regardless of travel date (future or past).
- Please make sure your travel confirmation emails are in your main inbox and not a folder or label.
