In this update


Key enhancement

Guest travel booking just got simpler. When guest travelers select 'Book trip' from event invitations, they enter their departure location and go straight to search results.

We've built the system to automatically pull all the details it needs from your event context and show guests search results. The departure time aligns with your event schedule, policy compliance happens in the background, and you move seamlessly from invitation to booked reservation. The results? A faster, easier booking experience that drives online adoption. Plus, your guests arrive on time, exactly where you expect them.

Enhanced trip list: comprehensive travel visibility and real-time tracking

We've enhanced the trip list to give you complete visibility into travel activity and streamlined trip management. Comprehensive booking details — including status, itinerary segments, and real-time updates — are now accessible directly from the trip view, so you won't need to navigate multiple screens for the information you need. 

Advanced filtering capabilities help you find trips quickly across multiple parameters: search by name, PNR, traveler, or destination, and apply filters for booking status, segment type (air, hotel, rail, car), travel dates, and departure/arrival times. You can also show or hide cancelled trips depending on what works best for you.

This enhancement delivers real benefits: admins monitor guest travel with greater accuracy, travelers access booking information instantly, and all stakeholders maintain complete oversight of travel activity from one unified interface.
