Inbox has been around a while now and if you’re a Gmail user you should really try out the new interface for accessing your Google emails, both on your phone and through a web browser. There’s nothing to lose as you can simply go back to the old Gmail interface if you prefer it.
One of my favourite features of Inbox is its Trips function, which automatically takes information from emails and collates it together in one easy to find place. Your flight details, hotel reservation, car hire and more all appear within the automatically-created trip. The only problem was that you couldn’t edit the information in these trips if something went a bit wrong.
Well now you can thanks to an update to Inbox. Find your trips by clicking on Trips in the left-hand menu, or tapping the 3 bars in the top-left corner to open the menu and then select Trips. Here you can see all the trips you’ve ever taken as well as upcoming ones.
To remove erroneous emails from a trip: click the trip to open the trip and you’ll see a list of related emails at the bottom,, under the various collated information. Find the email that’s causing the issue and then tap the three dots to the right (or open it and tap the three dots at the very top-right on a phone) and then select Move to. You can then select ‘Remove from this trip’ in the menu that appears.
To add an additional email to a trip: Head to your inbox and browse or search for the trip-related email. Then once again click on the three dots on the right. In the menu that pops up you can see the ‘Move to’ section, click on Trips here and select the appropriate trip. The information in that email will then be scanned and added to the collated trip information.
And it’s as easy as that, so start using trips in Inbox by Gmail and get yourself organised when travelling away from home.
