This article explains how to subscribe to a Personio Calendar on third-party apps like Google Calendar, Apple Calendar, and Outlook via an iCal link.
Using the Personio Calendar subscription option, you can see your colleagues' time off on an external calendar app. The calendar will update automatically, and its update frequency depends on the settings of the third-party app you're using. Some apps have default settings that cannot be changed, while others allow you to set the update frequency yourself. For more information, refer to the help center of the app you are using.
Each time off period displays both the employee's name and the time off type. For example, "[Vacation] John Doe".
Generate an iCal subscription link in Personio
Keep in mind:
- You can only create links for the types of time off you have Ical permissions for.
- Once you create the link, anyone with the link will have access to the events in it, regardless of their permissions.
Follow these steps:
- Go to Time Off & Attendance > Team calendar.
- Click the three dots icon > Subscribe.
- Under Calendar type, choose one or more time off you want to subscribe to. The My Calendar option at the top includes birthday reminders, hire dates, and anniversaries.
- Refine the time off included in the calendar based on Legal entity, Department, Team, or Office. Select "All" for any option to include all time off within that category.
- Click Generate Link.
- Click Copy.
Note:
The calendar does not include any time off types created after you generate an iCal link. To include time off types created after generating the link, repeat the steps above to generate, export, and subscribe again.
Subscription options
When generating an iCal link to subscribe to time off types in Personio, you can decide how the calendar displays in your third-party app. There are two options:
Single iCal link for all time off types
This will include and display all time off types in your third-party app in one shared view. To do this, select the Time off option from the iCal calendar subscribe window, generate the link and add it to your third-party app.
Multiple iCal links for different time off types
With this option, you can activate or deactivate the view for each time off type you subscribe to. For example, if you add a calendar only for paid vacations, and another only for sick days, you could choose to view them both at once, or only view one and hide the other. To do this, follow these steps:
- Select a specific time off type, for example "Sick Days", from the iCal calendar subscribe window, generate the link, and add it to your third-party app.
- Repeat this for each individual time off type calendar you want to generate and add to your third-party app.
