If you are looking to build a confirmation email that will work with TripIt this is the page for you.
The documents in this Help page provide vendors and individual users a standard confirmation email format designed to be read by our parsing tool. Please review and follow the instructions carefully.
The form(s) is trip item (air, hotel, car, cruise, etc) specific.
- Copying and pasting the formats in the document is the best way to insure the correct format. Attachments (word, pdf, etc.) are not yet supported for this form when submitting to plans@tripit.com.
- Each confirmation must begin with ‘TripIt Approved’ (as displayed in the document) and be followed by
- Booking confirmation # :
- Booking date :
- Booking site name :
- Booking site phone :
- Booking site web-page :
- Each trip item type must begin and end with the appropriate information tags (i.e. Flight Information & End of Flight Information, Hotel Information & End of Hotel Information, etc.)
- Date and time format options (one format per confirmation email, must not be mixed):
- September 25, 2013 (US date format)
- 25 September, 2013 (EU date format)
- 2013-09-25 (ISO 8601 format)
- 14:00
- 2:00PM
- 2 pm
- All of the following are true:
- Dashes and/or spaces interchangeable
- Upper/lowercase interchangeable as the first letter of the label
- Word number can be given as number, no, num, or #
- 'dot' (.) following number is optional (i.e. num or num. # or #. no or no.)
- Colon (:) following label required
- Month names can be given in full or abbreviated form (January or Jan, February or Feb, etc.)
- All of the fields are expected to be single-line except the following:
- Pick-up instructions in Car Reservation
- Room description and cancellation remarks in Hotel Reservation
- Notes and restrictions in all reservation types
- You only need to fill in the parts of the standard confirmation you wish to have parsed (you can leave areas blank and it will do no harm).
- For multi-segment items (more than one traveler, more than one travel segment, etc.) duplicate the information in the template (please see the sample link provided in this Help page).
