# Trip Settings

Trip Settings controls the trip's **program binding**. This is where you connect the trip to the donor form, Trips Program Settings, and auto email set that power participant signup, public fundraising behavior, and trip automations.

## Open Trip Settings

From [Trip Details](/guides/core-features/program-management/trips/trip-details.md), click **Settings**.

## What you can configure

### Donor Form

Choose the donor form that Gratona should use when the trip needs to create or update donor records during trip workflows.

This donor form is especially important for:

* adding donors from the Participants drawer
* public **Request to Join** submissions
* keeping trip-related donor data aligned with the correct form

### Program Settings

Choose the **Trips** Program Settings record that should control trip behavior.

This selected Trips Program Settings record controls features such as:

* whether **Request to Join** is available
* recurring donation availability
* public donation amount visibility
* public participant goal visibility
* donation behavior for completed trips
* budget-to-goal syncing
* reminder timing and other trip runtime defaults

Use the **plus** button to create a new Trips Program Settings record without leaving the drawer. Use the **pencil** button to edit the currently selected Program Settings record.

### Attach Auto Emails

Choose the auto email set that should be attached to the trip's fundraising program binding.

Use this when you want the trip to inherit the email automation set tied to your Trips workflow.

## Important behavior change

The current Trip Settings drawer focuses on binding the trip to the right records. It does **not** directly expose all trip behavior toggles in the drawer itself.

{% hint style="info" %}
Trip behavior settings now come from the selected **Trips Program Settings**. If you need to change public page behavior, Request to Join availability, or budget-sync behavior, update the selected Program Settings record instead of looking for a separate toggle in the Trip Settings drawer.
{% endhint %}

## Save settings

Click **Save Settings** to apply the updated binding.

After saving:

* the trip uses the selected donor form
* the trip uses the selected Trips Program Settings
* the attached auto email set is mirrored to the trip's program binding
