Error Communicating with TripIt

When I go to Connected Apps in Concur, I see TripIt! listed. I click on "connect to TripIt" and enter my TripIt credentials and click Link My Accounts button. But I then get the error "Error Communicating with TripIt" and remain on the login page. This is NOT a bad password issue (an incorrect password yields a different appropriate error).

Any ideas?

Hi I am having this issue. My trip account says it linked to Concur but my Concur account says it needs to be linked but returns the error when I do. Thanks

@efitz could you provide screenshots of where you see that the accounts are linked and where you see that Concur says they are not linked, please? This will help narrow down the issue.

@efitz So, I believe that in the TripIt settings, you just granted access to allow SAP Concur to access TripIt data. I don't think that actually links the accounts.

 

Which leads us to you receiving the message about the communication error. This issue has come up previously and the information I received from our TripIt team is that this is a known bug they are currently working on. Unfortunately, they didn't give a time frame. 

 

In the meantime, When you book a trip, you can forward the itinerary email to: plans@tripit.com to get the trip loaded into TripIt. Then, when the bug gets fixed, you can link the accounts. This will then automatically send any trips you book in Concur Travel to TripIt.

Any update on if the issue is corrected...should I disconnect Concur from TripIt, even though you said its not a factor ?

@derekmoon gotcha. If it gets resolved, can you post the resolution here please? It might help others in the future. 

 

If your Concur admin cannot help, I have an idea of what the issue might be. I'll await your outcome.

@lesterw @efitz @louisg I've been informed by our TripIt team that the bug should now be fixed. Please try connecting your TripIt account to your Concur account and let me know if it works or if the error still persists.

@efitz Okay, I was told to have you unlink from Concur, then try again. Here is a link for the steps on doing that: https://help.tripit.com/hc/en-us/articles/360000978579-SAP-Concur-Bugs-and-common-issues

 

Give that a try and let me know if it works.
