📧 Set Up Email Forwarding with Gmail for Fleetwire!

Want to keep your Turo, Getaround, or Ryde bookings in sync with Fleetwire? Setting up email forwarding in Gmail ensures that car-sharing emails (like new bookings, cancellations, and messages) are automatically sent to Fleetwire, allowing us to update your listings and manage availability across platforms. You can watch a quick 90-second video or follow the step-by-step guide below to get started!

🎯 Why Set Up Email Forwarding?

Forwarding emails to Fleetwire helps you:

Sync Bookings Seamlessly: Automatically block off listing timeframes on Fleetwire when bookings are made on Turo, Getaround, or Ryde.
Stay Organized: Let Fleetwire view your listings, bookings, and history to auto-message guests and manage your calendar.
Protect Privacy: Use a unique email proxy for your company, so only car-sharing emails are forwarded—no personal emails are shared.

Note: When you add a Turo connection, you allow Fleetwire to act on your behalf to manage listings and bookings securely.

🛠 How to Set Up Email Forwarding in Gmail

Follow these steps to forward car-sharing emails to Fleetwire using your Gmail account. We’ll set up a forwarding address and a filter to ensure only relevant emails are sent.

Step 1: Access Your Fleetwire Email Proxy

Fleetwire provides a unique email proxy for your company to receive car-sharing emails.

In your Fleetwire dashboard, go to Connections.
Look for the Email Proxy field in the Turo connection settings—it’s a unique email address for your company.
Copy this email address; you’ll need it for forwarding.



Pro Tip: Keep this email proxy handy—you’ll use it to set up forwarding in Gmail.

Step 2: Add the Forwarding Address in Gmail

Set up Gmail to forward emails to your Fleetwire email proxy.

Open Gmail and click the Settings cog icon in the top-right corner, then select See all settings.



Go to the Forwarding and POP/IMAP tab, then click Add a forwarding address.



Paste your Fleetwire email proxy into the field and click Next.



Gmail will send a confirmation email to Fleetwire. Check your Fleetwire dashboard for the confirmation code, or look for the code in your Gmail inbox (including the spam folder). Enter the code to verify.



Quick Tip: If you don’t see the confirmation email, ensure your email proxy is correct and check your spam folder.

Step 3: Create a Filter for Car-Sharing Emails

Set up a filter in Gmail to forward only car-sharing emails (e.g., from Turo, Getaround, or Ryde) to Fleetwire.

In Gmail, go back to Settings and select the Filters and Blocked Addresses tab, then click Create a new filter.



In the From field, enter @turo OR @getaround OR @ryde to capture emails from these platforms. If you only use Turo, you can just enter @turo.



Click Create filter, then check the box to Forward it to your Fleetwire email proxy. Click Create filter to save.



Warning: If you use an ad-blocker, you may encounter errors in Gmail. Temporarily disable your ad-blocker while setting up email forwarding to avoid issues.

Step 4: Test Your Forwarding Setup

Ensure emails are being forwarded correctly to Fleetwire.

Send a test email from a car-sharing platform (e.g., Turo) or simulate one by sending an email from a @turo address to your Gmail.
Check your Fleetwire dashboard (e.g., Connections) to confirm the email was received and processed.
Verify that booking updates (e.g., new reservations) are reflected in your Calendar.

Quick Tip: Monitor for errors in Sentry (integrated via vite.config.mjs) if emails aren’t forwarded as expected.
