Sharing Trips ​

TixTrk lets you share any trip you've created so friends, travel partners, or anyone else can see your full itinerary, map, and essentials. You can share with a link or send directly to another TixTrk user by email.

Two Ways to Share ​

Tap Share Trip on any trip card and choose Create Share Link. TixTrk generates:

  • A unique shareable URL for the trip
  • A 6-digit PIN required to access it

Anyone who has both the link and the PIN can view the trip. The recipient does not need a TixTrk account to view the trip.

TIP

Share the PIN separately from the link. The two work together, and sharing one without the other won't grant access, so sending them through different channels (for example, the link by email and the PIN by text) keeps your trip private even if one message is seen by the wrong person. When you use TixTrk's built-in email or text option, the prefilled message contains only the link; send the PIN yourself.

WARNING

Repeated wrong PIN guesses temporarily lock a share, and a sustained run of wrong guesses automatically revokes it. If a share gets revoked this way, rotate its PIN from the Share panel to make it usable again with a fresh code.

Direct Share by Email ​

Tap Share Trip and choose Share with a Friend, then enter the recipient's email address.

  • If they're a TixTrk user: they get instant access and the trip appears in their Shared with Me tab right away.
  • If they're not a TixTrk user: TixTrk emails them an invitation containing the trip link (never the PIN). The Share panel shows you the PIN. Send it to them separately and they can view the trip without creating an account.

Managing Who Has Access ​

The Share panel lists every active share for a trip. Under each one you'll see the people who have claimed it, showing their email and when they claimed access, with a Remove button beside each.

You stay in control after sharing:

  • Remove a single person to revoke just their access.
  • Revoke a whole share to cut off everyone who claimed it. Revoking now takes effect immediately, including for people who already opened the trip.
  • Rotate a share's PIN to issue a fresh code (useful if a PIN may have leaked, or to re-enable a share that auto-revoked after too many wrong guesses).

Shared with Me ​

The Shared with Me tab in Trip Hub shows all trips that other users have shared directly with you. Trips shared via a public link and PIN do not appear here. Only trips that were shared to your specific account via direct share.

Tap any shared trip to open the full Trip Hub view for that trip.

Read-Only Access ​

All shared trips, whether accessed via link and PIN or through direct share, are read-only. Viewers can see:

  • The full day-by-day itinerary with all item types
  • The interactive map with all markers and popups
  • The Essentials dock

Viewers cannot add, edit, or delete any items. Only the trip owner can modify the trip.

Notifications ​

When someone shares a trip directly with you, you'll receive a bell notification in TixTrk. Tap the notification to go directly to the shared trip.

TIP

Set up your display name and profile photo in your TixTrk account settings before sharing. That way your friends see your name and photo on the shared trip and know immediately who it's from.
