TripIt from Concur
TripIt Functionality- TripIt is a trip management service that helps travelers organize and share their travel plans, no matter where they book. TripIt gives travelers the tools to combine all of their travel plans – whether booked within or outside of Direct Travel – into master itineraries that can be accessed via Concur, online at www.tripit.com or on mobile apps. Travel information will be imported to their desktop calendars, integrated with networking sites, and easily shared with colleagues, friends, and family.
- TripLink is the automatic upgrade of TripIt to the premium version, TripIt Pro, which will result in business itineraries booked in Concur Travel to be automatically placed into the TripIt account and kept synchronized. Trip plans also flow in the opposite direction to Concur if sent directly to TripIt and marked as business trips.
- TripIt Pro is included for all travelers. TripIt Pro is a premium service that includes all the benefits of TripIt plus a suite of additional features geared to the frequent traveler including advanced flight monitoring, seat tracking, and more. More information on all the features of TripIt Pro are available at https://www.tripit.com/pro/features.
TripIt shows you all your trip information in one place. Once you book your travel in Concur your information will automatically be sent to TripIt. If you book your travel with a third party, just email your itinerary to plans@concur.com. TripIt instantly organizes your travel information and creates a schedule showing you where to be and when.
- TripIt is also important to the University because it has a locate feature. This feature will notify you if the travel advisory risk level changes during your travel, and allow the University to use Concur Messaging to provide you with steps to take.
- If you have enrolled in My Travel Network and added frequent traveler accounts, you will see receipts from your trip waiting for you in Concur Expense.
- We recommend you complete this process on the dashboard under the Alert section. The process will include activation, connection, and the opportunity to download the mobile app.

TripIt Settings in Mobile App
Traveler Arrangers/Delegates Email Address
A travel arranger may email plans to plans@concur.com, when booking outside of Direct Travel, on behalf of a traveler. The arranger must include one of the traveler’s registered email addresses in the subject line or in the first line of the email. The plans will be placed in the traveler’s Trip Library and will appear in Concur Mobile.
The arranger must verify their email address in the Email Addresses section of their Profile.
The following must be complete:
- The Travel Arranger or Expense Delegate should verify email address in their own profile.
- The traveler should verify email address in their own profile.
- The Travel Arranger or Expense Delegate should be in the traveler's list of Arrangers or Delegates, respectively.
Once these steps are complete:
- The Arranger can send the trip email to plans@concur.com, and include the traveler's verified email address in the Subject line of the email.
- The Delegate can send the receipt email to receipts@concur.com, and include the user's verified email address in the Subject line of the email.
This will ensure that the trip or receipt is associated to the correct user.
Updates and Duplicate Emails
Concur will apply itinerary updates to TripLink plans. Concur will avoid duplicating plans that are emailed to Concur more than once or that are received by Concur from multiple sources, such as from a TripLink Supplier and from an email.
Cancellations
Cancellations are automatically kept up-to-date when a traveler books a trip using a TripLink connected supplier. For itineraries that are emailed, the traveler must remove the itinerary from their trip library within Concur. Removing a trip or booking manually through TripLink only removes the record of the booking from Concur. The traveler must contact the booking source directly to cancel the actual booking. For bookings made through TripLink supplier connections, cancellations made on the supplier site automatically update the relevant Concur itinerary and remove the canceled trip component.
