Gmail Gets Revamped Summary Cards for Events, Travel, Tracking Purchases and More

Google today announced an update for the summary card feature in Gmail, which is designed to provide helpful information at the top of incoming emails.

gmail summary cards
Summary cards have a new look for purchases, events, bill, and travel emails, with Google adding new action buttons. With these action buttons, Gmail users can do things like add an event to the calendar, or set a reminder to pay a bill.

  • Purchases - Summary cards will show tracking information for purchases and order details.
  • Events - Dinner reservations, concert tickets, and more will be highlighted, and there are options to add events to the calendar, invite others, and get directions.
  • Bills - Summary cards can show bills, with an option to get a reminder to pay or to add a due date in Google Tasks.
  • Travel - Users can manage reservations, check in for flights, and see important details like hotel checkout times.

Google says that it updated the summary card backend, so key information will be organized across all related emails and updated in real-time. Users can expect to see updates on incoming package deliveries, for example, thanks to the new dynamic version of summary cards.

Summary cards will be shown in additional places in Gmail, such as search and a new "Happening Soon" section. Happening Soon shows the estimated delivery date of incoming packages, and users will only see the section when there are deliveries. In the future, more types of summary cards will be shown in this section.

Purchase summary cards are rolling out for individual emails in the Gmail for iOS app starting today, and event, bill, and travel summary cards and the Happening Soon section set to launch in the coming months.

Gross, just another reminder that your emails are not your own.

Me too. Being a gmail user since its launch, agreed that the way that Google deliver ads is much less disturbing and more relevant to the uses needs.

Just wondering, is this new summary card feature only available to mobile app users? Or the web users as well? Is the feature only available in certain regions?
I would be very surprised if those features were limited to the app only, I’m pretty sure they’ll roll them out everywhere, as for regions, honestly don’t know if Google rolls out by region, but I can see that certain more local services might not be supported at least in the beginning

No thanks, just show me a list of my emails in chronological order. This seems unnecessary and counterproductive to me

Why would someone let a Google app analyze his emails? I am even hesitant to write an email to a Gmail address. Google is evil.
