Feature Ideas

Would like to be able to create a series of an appointment/s like Outlook allows us to.

When representative selection is optional, using a variable in the Out-of-Office (OoO) message can lead to incomplete or confusing messages if no representative is set (e.g., “During my absence, [blank] will represent me”). This feature would allow either: Conditional logic within the OoO message (e.g., “If representative is set, show this block; otherwise, show alternative text”), or Separate OoO message templates for cases with and without a representative, both for internal and external communication. This ensures clarity and professionalism in automated absence communication, regardless of whether a representative is assigned. This request is strongly tied to https://feedback.absentify.com/b/7mlokrm5/feature-ideas/disable-or-make-optional-the-availability-check-for-representatives

Currently, the representative selection dropdown only appears if a minimum number of representatives is defined for the absence type. This feature would ensure that the dropdown is always visible in the absence request form, regardless of configuration, but allows the user to optionally select a representative. This gives end users the flexibility to decide per request whether to assign a representative or not, without being forced to do so.

In scenarios like company-wide holidays or bridge days, entire teams may be absent by design. The current implementation prevents absence requests if the selected representative is also unavailable, which can block valid and intentional team-wide absences. This feature would allow organizations to either disable or make the availability check for representatives optional. It ensures that absence requests can still be submitted even when no available representative exists, aligning the system behavior with real-world operational needs.

It should be possible to cancel individual days of vacation (instead of just the whole vacation). This should also be possible for managers and admins for past holidays. One implementation idea would be to be able to choose between the entire vacation and individual days when canceling vacation, and then select these specifically.

We are a holding with two companies and in these companies we have different departments, plus sales peoples with given sales region. We like to be able to set a strucure of Compay A/Department/Sales Region for example. But the Microsoft Office 365 is based on tenant only, therefore I can't see how to set this kind of structure even with the Business Plan and the given Departments Add-on.

A single calendar view like 'My Calendar' but it shows absences from a custom set of employees so you can see at a glance who is off when and dont have to go into each individual calendar

We have a number of part time employees and we have to manual calculate their entitlement and also we can not convert this into hours. We are an employer that looks to employee part time people and this would be a huge benefit to the workforce

When a user wants to cancel an absence, the approver must also accept or refuse the cancellation

Due to events in the year, it would be useful to define dates when vacations cannot be taken. It would be useful if it can be defined which type of absences cannot be taken during the blocking dates.

There seems to be no way to set when time off allowances and how they move forward per person. our policy is to give vacation days based on when the person started employment. Perhaps I'm missing something, if so It's not clear how to accomplish this.

We are a company with many employees with school kids. When we plan our holiday with absentify it would be usefull to see, when the school holidays in our country/state are starting and ending. It should work similar to the public holidays. maybe the days in the bar of the week days should be marked with school holiday when you choose for example germany / lower saxony in the settings. thanks

Currently, I cannot change a user's name or email address (e.g. due to marriage).

A noticeboard where the rules per leave type can be loaded as static content would assist new and casual employees on what kind of absences they can take and the rules for each one. For example. if one is calling in sick - the noticeboard can have something that says notify your line manager by 9am or if one is booking sick leave for more than two days, they would know they need to bring a doctor's letter on return to duties. It can be just an additional tab on the app and the main administrator has access to update the tab.

Monthly accrual accounts. It would be great if a custom filter (for ex January to April) would be available on the overview page. This filter should allow to see the holidays status at a certain moment in time and calculate the accrual value for the holiday left that the company would have to pay in a future. For example, Mark has 20 days holidays + 3 service day, he booked 7 days at the end of May. Accounts department has to see in April: Mark 20+3 days left, meanwhile if Accounts looks at the calendar at the end of May should see 13+3.
