Quick start

Get going with PlanAttend

Pick the guide that fits you. Each one is a handful of short steps — read it once and you're set.

I'm going on a trip

You're going on a trip or event someone else is planning.

  1. 1

    Join your event

    Open the link the organizer sent you, sign in with Google or an email and password, then press “Ask to join this event.” The organizer approves you and the event shows up under My trips.

    If the organizer already added you with your email, you'll be matched automatically the moment you sign in — no request needed.

  2. 2

    Fill in your profile

    Add your first and last name, mobile number and home city. Your home city helps the organizer see who needs a flight and who can drive.

    You can also opt in to text alerts here. It's optional and you can stop any time.

  3. 3

    Add how you're getting there

    On the event's People tab, tap your name and open “Getting there.” Type your flight, drive or train plans, or paste your confirmation email under “Fill from a confirmation.”

    You can also chat with the Concierge. It fills in the form for you to check — nothing is saved until you press Save.

  4. 4

    Follow the day-by-day schedule

    Each day shows where you're staying at the top, then every activity with its time, address, directions and a suggested “Leave by” time.

    Your own flights are highlighted. Everyone else's are tucked under the “Group travel” chip — tap it to see who's arriving when.

  5. 5

    Keep track of money

    If the organizer turned on group expenses, “Group expenses” shows what was spent and what you owe. “My private expenses” is your own spending log — export it as a PDF or CSV.

    Your private expenses are visible only to you. Organizers and app admins can't see them.

  6. 6

    Take the itinerary with you

    Press “Itinerary” at the top of the event to download a printable PDF with your flights placed on the right day at the right time.

  7. 7

    Jot private notes

    The Private notes tab is just for you — good for gate codes, gift ideas or anything you don't want to share.
