Integrations & Ecosystem

Absentify is built primarily around the Microsoft ecosystem. Offly takes a platform-agnostic approach — integrating deeply with Google Workspace, Microsoft 365, Slack and Microsoft Teams. For teams that use a mix of tools, Offly provides a single leave management platform that connects everything together.

Offly's Zapier integration, REST API and webhook events give technical teams the building blocks for custom automation without waiting for native integrations.

Mobile Experience

Offly provides native mobile apps for iOS and Android. Employees get real push notifications for approvals, can book leave offline, and use biometric authentication for quick access. Managers can approve requests in a single tap from their phone notification.

The mobile app is designed for speed — check your balance, see who's off today, or submit a request in under 10 seconds.

Automation & Developer Tools

Offly includes a full REST API on every plan — no enterprise tier required. Create custom integrations, sync leave data to payroll systems, or build internal dashboards with real-time data.

Webhook events fire instantly when leave is requested, approved, cancelled or updated. Combined with the Zapier integration, teams can automate entire leave workflows without writing code.

User Experience & Design

Offly is designed with the same attention to detail you'd expect from tools like Linear, Notion or Vercel. The interface is clean, fast and focused on reducing friction. Dark mode, keyboard shortcuts and a responsive layout make daily use a pleasure rather than a chore.

Approval workflows are streamlined to minimise clicks. The team calendar provides instant visibility into availability without navigating between screens.
