Summary cards in Gmail visually organize key information from across all related emails, so you can:
- Get details quickly: Glanceable summaries highlight the essential information, eliminating the need to hunt through multiple emails.
- Take action easily: Relevant actions like “Get directions,” “Invite others,” “Track package,” “Check in,” “Remind me” or “Mark as paid” are readily available — no more digging for buried links.
- See the latest status: Cards are dynamic, keeping you updated on upcoming events, deliveries and deadlines even as they change.
A new “Happening soon” section
To easily see the most timely updates without even needing to open individual emails, we are introducing a new “Happening soon” section at the top of inboxes. To start, purchase summary cards will appear here, and this section will only show up when it’s relevant. For example, once the estimated delivery date of a purchase is two days away, “Happening soon” will show the purchase summary card, allowing you to see when your package is arriving at a glance. If you have multiple deliveries arriving in the same timeframe, the summary cards are stacked, and you can expand, dismiss or click to go directly to the related email.
