Benefits of custom branding

Customizing your workspace branding offers multiple advantages for your organization:

• Professional appearance — Present your company in a consistent and polished way across all user touchpoints.
• Tailored user experience — Match the app’s appearance to your corporate design, boosting internal recognition and trust.
• Theme adaptability — Ensure logos look great in both light and dark modes, providing a visually seamless experience for all users.
• Cross-platform consistency — Extend your company’s branding to Microsoft Teams and Outlook for a unified presence across tools your team already uses.
• White-label experience - all absentify branding is automatically removed from:
  • Outlook-synced calendar entries, whether they are automatically synchronized or added via iCal integration
  • Out-of-office messages configured through absentify

Applying your company’s branding ensures a fully professional communication experience — both internally and externally.

Edit workspace branding

With an upgrade to the Plus plan, admins can customize your workspace to reflect your company’s look and feel:

• Upload your company logo for both light and dark mode themes to ensure visual consistency. You can upload a landscape or square version of your logo:
  • Landscape logo: recommended size 400 × 80 px
  • Square logo: recommended size 256 × 256 px
  • Accepted file formats: JPG, JPEG, PNG, SVG, WEBP
• Choose whether to display the logo and company name, or the logo only.
• Upload a custom company favicon to personalize your browser tab. Recommended size: 96 × 96 px (same accepted formats as above).
• Customize the theme color of the app using a color picker or by entering your company’s own HEX code.

This allows your workspace to reflect your corporate design — whether it’s just the right shade of blue or a fully white-labeled experience.

Customize welcome emails

As part of the Plus plan, absentify allows administrators to customize the welcome emails sent to newly invited team members — creating a personalized onboarding experience that reflects your company’s tone, culture, and branding. This customization feature is accessible under Settings → Organisation → Branding via the Customize Welcome Email button. The following can be customized:

• Subject line for each supported language
• Email content using a rich text editor with:
  • Headings
  • Bold and italic text
  • Bullet lists
  • Links
• Language-specific templates for: English, German, French, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, Russian, Turkish, Ukrainian, Hungarian, Polish
• Live preview of the final email including:
  • Your company logo (if uploaded in branding settings)
  • Placeholder variables with example data

​

Available template variables

Use these variables to automatically personalize each email:

• {{name}} — The invited person’s name
• {{company_name}} — Your company name
• {{inviter}} — Name of the person who sent the invitation
• {{employee_email}} — The invited person’s email
• {{admin_email}} — Your admin email address
• {{link}} — Direct login link to absentify

These variables are dynamically replaced with real data when the email is sent.
