How-to: Use your White Label Mobile App
Whether you are testing your first trip or onboarding your next set of travelers onto your White Label (Branded) Mobile App, this article guides you through the process.
This article only applies if you have purchased a White Label Mobile App. This is NOT included in any plans and requires a setup process that includes a testing phase.
If you're ready to take your brand to the next level, reach out to Sales about whether White Label App is right for you.
If your app is ready for testing or already in the App Stores, then read on!
Downloading the App
Once your app is ready, you'll be able to search for it in.
Screenshots are using the client example "Reho Study Tours" - your app will have YOUR branding.

Example Branding
This example is Solamoré and showcases the brand color and splash image on the homescreen of the app plus the main screens in the app. Specifics will vary per trip, but these elements will be consistent.
Pushing from YouLi to your App
So you're app is on the app store, your customers are booked and you're ready to launch your trip to the App?
Once your trip is ready to go, you can find the "PUSH TO YOUR APP" button on top of the Trip CRM as shown:
Click the new button whenever you need to push your trip changes and new booked travelers to the app.
There's no harm in pushing multiple times. In fact, you're likely to push many times.
Before pushing be sure:
- You're itinerary data is correct (what you want your Travelers to see)
- All the people you want to have access to the app are:
- Showing as "REGISTERED" in the Trip CRM
- Have a unique email address
WARNING: People who do not have an email on their YouLi Trip will NOT be pushed to the App. So you'll need to add an email before pushing to ensure they can access their trip
People sharing email addresses will only see one version of the itinerary in the app.
Testing your first Trip
No automatic notifications are sent to Travelers, so you can test things out before you onboard them.
Be sure to create a test Traveler so you can see what their experience is like - you'll need to login as them on one device and as a Planner in another device (or work with a colleague) to properly test.
Understanding your App
This example is the Solamoré White Label App. If you would like to customize wording, color, images, or even functionality, reach out to Sales to check if it's right for you, or for more details.
Onboarding Planners onto the App
Note: Your team members can create a planner account that can be used for all trips via Login page > Staff Sign-Up.
Once they are assigned to a trip, add them to the trip so they can message anyone directly via the app and appear as "REGISTERED" in the Trip CRM.
You can add multiple planners to the trip, assign them a $0 price package, or edit their personal best price to $0 to ensure they are all booked.
If you want to add a Trip Coordinator (view-only role) to a single trip, make sure they have accepted the invitation. Then, add them as a traveler and push to the app. After that, they can create an account in the app and use their own password to log in as a planner.
All the UI of the App is same with the traveler, only the Chat Page is different.
