right inside Microsoft 365

Yes, our Free Plan is completely free to use - no hidden fees or expiration. It's ideal for small teams or as a starting point. As your needs grow, you can upgrade to a paid plan at any time with additional features.

absentify integrates seamlessly with your existing calendar tools. We currently support:

• Outlook calendars

• Microsoft Teams group calendars
• Any calendar that accepts iCal links

Your absences are automatically synced and always up to date in your calendar - with no manual effort required.

Yes, absentify automatically includes public holidays - worldwide. We consider both national and regional differences. These holidays appear directly in your absentify calendar and are also visible in Outlook when synced.

Absolutely! You can create custom absence types such as vacation, sick leave, and working from home, then define specific colors, allowances, and rules for each one. You can also set up multi-level approval processes by department or absence type to match your internal workflows.

With absentify, you can replicate your team and department structure exactly. Create roles, departments, teams, and workflows as needed. You can also connect Microsoft Entra ID or Microsoft Teams groups - so new employees are automatically added, assigned, or removed without manual effort.

Your personal profile gives you a complete overview of leave taken and remaining - in full days, half days, or even minutes (for example, 15-minute increments). Admins can access real-time reports to support team planning and resource visibility.

You can create a dedicated absence type for working from home and apply your own rules, such as approval requirements or visibility settings. This makes remote work as easy to manage as vacation - all in one place.

Yes, you can assign a covering colleague for any absence. They are notified automatically and can take over relevant tasks while the employee is away. This keeps your team informed and ensures nothing falls through the cracks.

Approvers receive automatic email notifications when a new request is submitted. Employees are also informed when their request is approved or declined. In addition, Microsoft Teams notifications are sent - including direct approval or rejection options within Teams.

Yes, you can upload your logo, adjust the color scheme to match your corporate design, and even customize the name and icon of the absentify app in Microsoft Teams or Outlook - ensuring a consistent and professional appearance.

Yes! With absentify, your Outlook out-of-office replies are set automatically when a period of leave begins - and turned off again when it ends.

You can define custom templates per leave type, including placeholders like:

• Return date
• Name and email address of the covering colleague
• Personalized messages for each type

These templates are auto-filled - no need to write messages manually. Companies can also create company-wide templates, ensuring a consistent and professional out-of-office message for all employees.

Yes, the absentify app is available in 11 languages.

Every user can select their preferred language in their personal profile, making it ideal for international teams.
