### **Required field**

 **Client name** is the only required field when creating a trip.  

| In this field, you can: | - Create a trip for an exsiting contact - Create a trip for a new client |
| --- | --- |

### **Itinerary options**

You can start your trip with no itinerary or a sample itinerary.

![5](https://knowledge.wetu.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base%20Content/Trip%20Pipelines/Create%20a%20trip/5.jpg?width=670&height=357&name=5.jpg)

| Option | What happens | Useful when |
| --- | --- | --- |
| **No itinerary** | The trip is created without an itinerary. You can add one at any time from the Trip Panel. | Capturing a new enquiry, recording an opportunity before planning begins, or following up with a prospective client |
| **Sample itinerary** | The sample itinerary appears in the Trip Panel. It can later be copied into a personal itinerary. | You want to choose from multiple sample itineraries to start the trip |

#### **Add a sample itinerary**

1. Search for a sample itinerary.
2. Select the itinerary you want to use.
3. Complete the remaining trip details.
4. Select **Create trip**.

The selected sample itinerary appears in the Trip Panel, where it can later be copied into a personal itinerary.

**Note:** You can't link a personal itinerary when creating a trip. To give the trip a personal itinerary, copy a sample itinerary as personal or create a personal itinerary from scratch in the Trip Panel. 

**Good to know:** Every existing personal itinerary in Wetu already has its own trip in Trip Pipeline, and any new personal itinerary you create automatically becomes a trip. This means every personal itinerary has a linked trip for managing tasks, travellers, notes and workflow.

### **After creating a trip**

| Once the trip has been created, you can immediately: | - Add tasks - Assign a consultant - Build or attach an itinerary - Update the trip status - Add travellers - Continue managing the trip through the Trip Pipeline workflow |
