Calendar Subscriptions for Individual Users

Easily integrate your absence.io leaves into Outlook, iCal or Google Calendar with our calendar feeds. Currently we support the integration for a single user, a team, a department, a location or the entire company. This article explains how to setup a calendar subscription for an individual user.

Click here to learn more about updating your calendar subscription links for the whole account. These links will sync all absences of an account.

1. You can find the link for the single user integration in the respective profile under "Integrations" (in the left sidebar):

2. You can find the calendar feed for teams, departments and location in the respective overview screen, e.g. "Department Overview".

• Moreover, you can now choose to generate a feed with the respective settings for either Admins or Employees. The Admin feed includes any specific comments regarding an absence, whereas the Employee feed does not show such comments.
