Email Series — automate your trip follow-ups
Email Series turn your best follow-up sequences into automation: build an ordered set of email steps once, assign it to a trip, and the right emails send at the right time — from your own mailbox, with attachments and merge tags handled. Covers building a series, trigger types, send times, assigning, and per-trip skip/reschedule overrides.
Invoicing — Send, Track, and Book Payments
How invoicing works in Books: create invoices with categorized line items, email them to clients from your billing address, track viewed/paid status, and post payments to the ledger. Cash-basis by default — the invoice hits the books when you mark it paid.
Groups in Trips — what they are, when to use them
Groups are Trips' primitive for hosted cohorts — cruise groups, escorted tours, themed trips, corporate incentives. This article explains what a Group is, when to reach for one instead of individual Trips, and how the pieces fit together.

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.
Client says they can't see my proposal
You shared a proposal but the client says nothing's there. Walk through the common causes — link was minted but never sent, proposal was unpublished, link landed on a custom domain that's not Live yet — and how to fix each.
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.
Trips — Getting Started
A 30-minute roadmap for your first week in Trips: customize your pipeline, set up branding, build your first trip, send your first invoice, and invite your first client to the portal.
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.
Invite a client to the portal
Two places to send a portal invite — the trip's travelers strip and the contact's Access tab — plus the auto-invite setting, the 7-day claim link, resending, and how disabling and reactivating works.
Custom domain for the portal
Run the client portal on your own subdomain — e.g. portal.youragency.com — instead of the shared trips.urtravelpro.com host. Walks the CNAME setup, the four pending states, the SSL wait, the Apple Pay re-registration step, and the cross-host session handoff.
Trip Memories (client-uploaded photos)
A private photo shelf on each trip in the client portal — travelers upload photos from their phone, see them next to their itinerary, and keep them as a memento after they get home. Agent-blind by design.
