Learn how to sign in to absentify on the web, Microsoft Teams, or Outlook.
You can access absentify through the web, Microsoft Teams, or Outlook. Typically, when you’re invited to absentify, you’ll receive an invitation email. This invitation is important, as it ensures your account is properly linked to your company’s workspace. If you haven’t received an invitation, check with your administrator before signing in. Otherwise, you may be directed to a registration page instead of your company’s workspace.

If absentify is already installed
If your administrator has already installed absentify in Microsoft Teams, you can access it directly:
- Open Microsoft Teams and go to the Apps section or use the Search bar at the top.
- Type absentify to locate the app and open it.
If absentify is not yet installed
If the app isn’t available, contact your administrator to request installation. In some organizations, employees may not have permission to install apps themselves. However, if you’re allowed to install apps, you can install absentify by visiting the Microsoft Teams Store directly.
Sign in on Outlook
Sign in on Outlook
Since absentify is integrated for both Microsoft Teams and Outlook, if absentify is installed in Teams, it will automatically appear in Outlook.
To find and pin absentify in Outlook:
- Open Outlook and check the Apps sidebar or look under More options (usually represented by three dots) in the toolbar.
If absentify isn’t available in Outlook, contact your administrator or refer to the Microsoft Teams instructions above to check if it’s installed.
After signing in
Once you’ve signed in, one of several scenarios will occur, depending on whether your account is linked, activated, and how your company has configured absentify:
Direct access to your company's workspace
Direct access to your company's workspace
If your account has already been added to your company’s team and activated by an administrator, you’ll be taken directly into the application. Here you can access your calendar and beging planning leave.
Account not yet activated
Account not yet activated
If your account exists but has not yet been activated, you’ll see a message indicating that your account is pending activation. In this case, you have two options:
- Click the Send reminder to administrator button to notify your admin team.
- Reach out directly to your workspace administrator or HR team to request activation.
Welcome page with options
Welcome page with options
If you’re presented with a Welcome page containing the buttons Register a new company and Join an existing company, this means your account is not yet linked to a company workspace.
If your company is already using absentify, select Join an existing company. This will open a dialog where you can request an invitation. The dialog will display the email address you are signed in with, which helps your admin locate your request.
The Register a new company option is intended for administrators who are setting up a new workspace. If you choose this option as a regular employee, you may end up in an isolated workspace that is not connected to your team.
You haven't been added to your company's workspace yet
You haven't been added to your company's workspace yet
If your company administrator has disabled the ability to create new workspaces, and your account is not yet added to an existing workspace, the following will happen:
- You will not see the Register a new company option.
- You will see a message explaining that you need to request access to an existing workspace.
- You can still use the Join an existing company option to submit an invitation request.
By following the appropriate steps based on the screen you see after signing in, you’ll ensure your account is correctly linked and activated, giving you access to your company’s workspace in absentify.
