What's the point of syncing with TripIt?
It's taken me a while to figure out how to put this, but basically, what's the point of syncing with TripIt?
I spend a lot of time entering information into TripIt including, dates, times and costs. I think I expected to see these things pulled across into expens'd when I created a new expense.
I thought I would click create new expense, select the relevant trip and then item from within the trip (using the two existing drop downs) and hey presto, the correct dates and costs would be completed within my expense. I would then associate the tags I want, save and do the next one.
Instead, I create a new expense, tag it, name it, enter the information and then choose the TripIt items from the drop downs. I'm basically repeating the data entry twice and as the drop down for the item within a trip is unclear, it's a frustrating process.
So, what exactly is the point? Is it because I'm using the single user version? I'd happily pay for it if it actually saved me time.

I’m disappointed

Inappropriate?Hi Moira,
Our philosophy of development is to put a basic feature in place, and then have our users tell us how they want it. That's the case here. Your feedback is highly valuable helping us to make a better product. If it's alright with you, I will take your question here, and turn it into an idea that others can then vote on. The more votes an idea gets, the higher up the priority list it goes.
If it's alright with you, I'll go ahead and do that. Thanks.
I’m happy

Inappropriate?Hi Robert, I'm happy with that, apologies if the original post was overly grumpy, but I'm just starting out with my own business and everything I need to do just feels over complicated!
I’m calm

Inappropriate?We don't want you to have more complication using expens'd. So I'll take that as a "yes, make it an idea" and put it up for the votes. Thanks again for your feedback. I'm thinking that you get to travel more than me.
