Gmail users are getting an upgrade to their inbox.
The messaging app’s summary cards have been redesigned to give users insight into their purchases, including purchase receipts, travel confirmations, reservations and other information that was previously scattered across apps and inboxes.
Summary cards aren’t new to Gmail, but they’ve been redesigned and now have their own inbox tab, called “Coming Soon,” according to Google.
If you purchase tickets to a concert, the event summary sheet will have an action button that allows you to add it directly to your calendar, or invite others to join the event, added Google.
The redesign also helps users set reminders to pay their bills and lets them know when they can expect a delivery, without having to dig deep into their inbox and then follow a link.
The updated summary cards apply to four common email types, Google said. They include:
- Purchases: View order details and track package arrival dates.
- Events: See a summary of dinner reservation details or concert tickets, and add events to your calendar or invite friends to join you.
- Invoices: View invoice due dates and set reminders to pay them.
- Travel: Manage reservations, check-in for a flight, and access travel details, like hotel check-out time, all in one place.
The updated summary sheets are now online. In the near future, Google will roll out the “Happening Soon” section at the top of inboxes, where users can check updates without having to open emails.
This is what the new summary sheets look like.
