# Confirming trips, and auto-confirm

> Confirm trips by hand or let an activity auto-confirm them once the minimum is booked.

A new trip is **Scheduled**. Once you know it will run, it becomes **Confirmed**, and the customers on it get a **Trip confirmed** email.

By hand: Confirm the trip from the trip itself, or drag it to Confirmed on the **Board** view. Only roles allowed to confirm trips can do this.

Automatically: Auto-confirm is set per activity, and it starts off. Open **Activities**, edit the activity and turn on **Auto-confirm trips**. Once a trip of that activity reaches its **Confirmation Minimum**, Seascape confirms it within the hour and emails the customers. Unpaid seat holds don't count toward the minimum.

- A class or course with auto-confirm on confirms with its first student.
- A snorkel trip never confirms on its own numbers. It confirms when a dive trip on the same boat at the same time is confirmed.
- If bookings drop below the minimum, an auto-confirmed trip goes back to not confirmed, but never within 24 hours of departure.
