No problem! We offer both: - direct **synchronization with Google Calendar and Outlook** or - you can easily create **ICS links** that can be integrated into various calendars such as Outlook, Google Calendar, or iCal.You can create ICS subscriptions to synchronize absences from teams, departments, locations, or all absence.io users. ### ICS Links (Calendar Subscription) As an owner, administrator or HR, you can create calendar subscriptions for departments, teams, locations, or the entire company and integrate them into your calendar tool. These links can also be shared with your colleagues. **[This article](https://info.absence.io/en/help-center/everything-you-need-to-know-about-calendar-subscriptions-ics-links?hsLang=en)** provides more detailed information and examples of calendar subscriptions using ICS links, including integration with Google/Outlook. As a user, you can only copy your personal link within your profile under Integrations. Calendar link synchronization can take up to 24 hours. ![](https://info.absence.io/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base%20Import/15698504592924.png) ### Direct Synchronization with Google / Microsoft 365 This is a direct integration. To enable this, one of the administrators must first activate the global integration via the settings. You can find more information**[here.](https://info.absence.io/en/help-center/office-365-/-google-integration-synchronization-and-login?hsLang=en)** As a user, you can automatically synchronize your own absences with Google Calendar/Outlook. However, this integration only works for your own absences and not company-wide ones. Activate this integration via your profile > Integrations. You can find step-by-step instructions and additional information **[here.](https://info.absence.io/en/help-center/sync-absences-to-google-outlook-for-employees?hsLang=en)** ![](https://info.absence.io/hubfs/Knowledge%20Base%20Import/15698504594716.png)   Have fun using our solution!
