Planning by email: forward us the thread

Forward a thread — one you started, or one a friend sent — to your plan address alone. We read out a title, dates and guests and park a draft.

Already emailing your group about the event? Forward that thread — one you started, or one a friend sent you — to us. Find the email address on your dashboard or the create page once you're signed in.

What we pull out

  • A title, from your line at the top of the forward or the thread's own subject.
  • Dates, if the thread mentions any — "the 14th" or "some Friday in March".
  • Guests, from the thread's own quoted To and Cc lines.

Whatever's missing, you add on the next step — even a bare question with no thread behind it gets a draft, just an emptier one.

Draft, review, send

We create a draft and email you one receipt with a review link. Open it, fix anything we got wrong, then Send — or reply "send it" if it already looks right. Nothing goes out to anyone, and nothing is charged, until then.

If anyone else is on the email

Send it to your plan address alone. If anything else is in To or Cc, we ignore the forward.

This is part of Autopilot — your account needs to be on it. If it isn't, the receipt says so. Anything we're not sure we read right is flagged rather than counted.
