Gmail users get new summary cards to track purchases, events

Gmail users are getting an upgrade to their inboxes.
The email app’s summary cards have been redesigned to give users a snapshot of their purchases, including shopping receipts, travel confirmations, reservations and other information that used to be dispersed across apps and inboxes.
Summary cards are not new to Gmail, but they’ve been redesigned, and now have an inbox tab of their own, called “Happening soon,” according to Google. 
If you buy tickets to a concert, the event’s summary card will have an action button that will allow you to add it directly to your calendar, or invite others to join the event, Google added.

The updated summary cards are now live. In the near future, Google will roll out the “Happening Soon” section at the top of inboxes where users can view updates without having to open emails.
Here’s what the new summary cards look like.
