My file won't upload
A trip-file or passport upload is failing? Walk through the size cap, the MIME allowlist, virus-scan rejections, and slow-connection issues — and how to retry.
What a Trip is in Trips
A field-by-field tour of a Trip — the central record in Trips. What each field actually does, and how a Trip ties together its travelers, destinations, proposals, invoices, files and notes.
Customize your pipeline (Trip statuses)
Rename, recolor, reorder, and add custom trip statuses to match how your agency actually works — plus what core, default, final, and client-facing really mean.
Contacts in Trips
How contacts work in Trips: the split between Core identity and Trips-owned travel data, the contact drawer's tabs, the find-or-create dedup flow on add, and how contacts become travelers on a trip.
Companions and relationships
Link spouses, kids, parents, friends, and travel partners between contacts in Trips. How mirrored pairs work, how to add and remove them, and where they show up.
Global search (Cmd-K)
How the topbar global search works in Trips: how to open it with Cmd-K / Ctrl-K, the buckets it searches (trips, invoices, forms, reports, contacts), how phone/email/name matching works on contacts, and how clicking a contact opens the drawer in place on /contacts.
The Trip page, top to bottom
A guided tour of the trip detail page: the hero, the eight tabs, the action pill, the "+ Create" menu, and the right-rail Trip details card. Where everything lives and how to interact with it.
Trip files (encrypted attachments)
How the Files section of a trip works: uploading documents, the 25 MB limit and supported file types, the client-visible toggle that controls what your traveler sees in the portal, virus scanning, encryption, and the access log we keep for every file.
The portal sign-in prompt
What the "Sign in to your portal, or continue without signing in" splash is, when it appears on public share links, and the 7-day per-token skip cookie that keeps it from nagging clients.
Trip messages (agent ↔ client thread)
The email-threaded conversation on every trip. Walks composing a new thread, replying or replying-all, attachments, the portal reply path for clients, MPP-aware open tracking, and what the read/likely-opened/opened states actually mean.
Email templates
Save the emails you send over and over — welcome, quote-ready, booking confirmation, payment reminder, post-trip thank-you — and load them into the composer with one click. Covers the platform defaults Trips ships with, merge tags, and editing or deleting them.
Send emails from your own Gmail
Connect your Google or Workspace mailbox so trip emails go out from your real address, sent copies land in your Sent folder, and client replies thread back to the trip's Messages tab automatically. Covers the OAuth flow, the scopes we ask for, the fallback sender, and disconnect.
