No worries at all if you prefer to keep your main inbox separate. You can sign up for axel with a fresh Gmail address or a secondary Gmail that you use only for travel. The signup flow works the same way: create the new Google account, then connect it during onboarding. This keeps your personal or work inbox untouched while still giving Ascend a place to fetch trip confirmations.
Once your side Gmail is connected:
Forward new booking emails into that inbox or send them straight to your custom axel address, visible on the Add a Trip page. Either method starts our price tracking rapidly.
Your forwarding email should look like: [email protected]
Many members choose a mix: they forward specific trips to the custom address and let others flow into the side Gmail automatically. Pick the method that feels simplest, and axel will chase the savings just the same.
