Plan a trip

1. 1Go to Trips and start a new trip.
2. 2Name it and set the dates (rough is fine, you can adjust). Add a leaving and back time too if you know them, and the dates read like Fri 6:00 AM to Tue · 4 nights. Not sure of the dates yet? Turn on Not sure? Let the crew decide under the When row instead, and the crew votes on them once the trip exists.
3. 3Invite your crew from your Orbit, a group chat, or by email (an address that's already on Joinue gets an in-app invite instead). Like events, trips have a share link, and you control the reach: Private (invite only), Shareable (anyone with the link), or Open (your Orbit can find it and join).
4. 4Build it out together: the itinerary, the stays, and the expenses all live on the trip.

The trip has its own chat, so the "wait, which Airbnb did we pick?" conversation stays attached to the answer.

Letting the crew pick the dates

With Not sure? Let the crew decide on, the When row grays out and the trip is created without dates, with everything else you filled in kept. On the trip's Home, propose a few date ranges (and, if you like, how many nights it should run), then tap Open the date poll. The crew marks what works for them, and you tap Lock these dates onto the trip. Switch it back off in the composer and the dates you'd picked come back.

The times are optional. A trip without them lands on a subscribed calendar as all-day days; with a leaving or back time it lands as one timed block instead, so the calendar knows you're gone from 6 AM Friday.

A new trip is saved as a draft as you go, the same way events are. Leave before creating it and you're asked Leave this trip?, with Save as draft, Discard, or Keep editing. Drafts wait on a Drafts shelf on Trips, private to you, until you finish or discard them.

The trip's home page

A trip opens on its Home: the announcements, the plan beside a map of it, and what's changed since you last looked. Everything else (the itinerary, the lists, the costs, the gallery) is a page of its own off the trip's menu.

Announcements are the organizers' noticeboard, for the must-see notes that aren't a change to the plan itself: which car, what time we're leaving, bring cash for the cabin. The newest one reads in full and older ones sit under it as single lines. An organizer can edit one in place, which fixes a typo without telling the crew twice.

The crew (organizers, and anyone going or maybe) can react to an announcement with an emoji, so "seen" or "love it" doesn't take a message in the trip chat. Tap a reaction's count to see who reacted. Reacting doesn't notify anyone.
