How to track your Resy and OpenTable reservations in one place

The simplest way to see your Resy and OpenTable reservations together is to forward both confirmation emails to one tracker like CityNoms, which reads each confirmation and lists every booking in a single place.

Why your reservations end up split across platforms

Restaurants pick one booking platform. That choice is usually about back-of-house tools, not about you. A regular night out in a city like New York can easily route you through three of them: one favorite restaurant runs on Resy, the next is OpenTable, the tasting menu the next weekend is a Tock ticket. None of those apps know about the others, and none of them want to. So you end up with the same calendar fragmented into four mailboxes, three apps, and a screenshot or two.

The fix is almost embarrassingly simple. Stop trying to make any one of the booking platforms cover the others. Instead, treat your inbox as the one place every confirmation already passes through, and forward the confirmations to a tool whose only job is to keep them in a single list.

The fastest setup: forward each confirmation once

When you sign up for CityNoms, you get a private CityNoms email address that looks like yourcode@citynoms.com. Anything sent to that address goes straight into your CityNoms list, and only into your list.

Open CityNoms and copy your private CityNoms address from the Forward tab.
When a Resy confirmation lands in your inbox, hit Forward and paste the address. The reservation appears in your CityNoms list within a minute.
Do the same with the next OpenTable confirmation. That booking joins the list too, with the OpenTable tag.

This is the slow path. It works on every email client, on every device, with no settings to flip. If you only book a few times a month, forwarding by hand is plenty.

The one-time auto-forward rule

If you eat out often, you do not want to forward every confirmation by hand. Set a rule once.

In Gmail, open Settings, then Forwarding and POP/IMAP, and add your CityNoms address as a forwarding address. Gmail will send a confirmation email to it. CityNoms confirms that email for you automatically, so the forwarding address goes active without you copying any codes.

Then create a Gmail filter that catches the senders that matter. Paste this into the search field when creating a filter:

from:(resy.com OR opentable.com OR exploretock.com OR sevenrooms.com)

Select the filter, check "Forward it to" and pick your CityNoms address. From that day forward, every confirmation from those four platforms files itself into your CityNoms list. New booking, new card, no thinking.

Why this beats letting a tool read your inbox

Plenty of "smart" calendar and inbox products will ask for full read access to your email. That is a lot to give up for the convenience of one tidy list. CityNoms is built the other way around. You forward only the messages you want tracked, and that is the only thing CityNoms ever sees. Your inbox stays yours.

This matters more than it sounds. Granting inbox-wide access means your personal email, your travel plans, your medical follow-ups, and the contents of every message you have ever received become reachable by that tool's servers. Forwarding flips that. You choose what is in scope. Nothing else is.

Once it is set up

Your CityNoms list shows upcoming reservations across Resy, OpenTable, Tock, and SevenRooms in one sorted view, with platform tags so you remember which app to open if you need to change anything. A day-before reminder lands in your email, so a busy week never sneaks up on a 7:30 in TriBeCa. Past reservations stay archived for the next time you want to remember where you went.

Short FAQ

Does CityNoms work with OpenTable in addition to Resy?

Yes. CityNoms parses confirmation emails from Resy, OpenTable, Tock, and SevenRooms, plus anything else you forward. You do not have to label anything. The platform tag is set from the email itself.

Will the rule miss confirmations sent from the restaurant directly?

Sometimes a small restaurant emails you a confirmation from their own address. In that case, forward it manually, the same way you would forward any email. The card lands in your list with the restaurant name attached.
