Email In Tern Finally Works Like Real Email
Description
Episode Overview
This week's Flight Path brings hosts David Shull (CEO and Co-Founder), Molly Johnson (Head of Product), and Brad Turner (Head of Design) through one of the biggest update weeks yet. The headline is a full rework of email in Tern: CC and BCC support, a wider recipient picker that isn't locked to trip contacts, and a new toggle between sending as one thread or as individual mail-merge style emails. Alongside that, rooms and cabins can now carry their own photos directly, ALG reservations import straight into itineraries through a new formal partnership, and group trip workflows can finally be set to apply only to regular trips. The episode wraps with a run of quality-of-life fixes advisors have been asking for. Next week brings a deep-dive ALG Vacations webinar and an early look at a new hotel discovery experience.
Episode Topics
(02:46) Email Overhaul. CC/BCC support, an expanded recipient picker, and a thread vs. mail merge toggle unify email across the app.
(09:00) Room Media. Photos now attach directly to individual rooms and cruise cabins instead of living inside text descriptions.
(12:19) ALG Import Integration. A new formal partnership pulls ALG reservations line by line into Tern itineraries, with an AI chat option.
(17:43) Group Trip Workflows. Auto-apply workflows can now be scoped to regular trips only, so they no longer misfire on groups.
(20:53) Quality of Life Round-Up. Custom default cover photos, one-click address field copying, added credit card authorization details, and card-type icons.
