With the Factorial integration in Productive, you can effortlessly sync time-off categories and periods from Factorial to ensure your HR management stays simple and up-to-date.
Integration Setup
To set up the Factorial integration, follow these steps:
1) Access the App Marketplace
Navigate to Settings > App Marketplace in Productive.
2) Connect Factorial
Find Factorial in the list of available apps and click on Connect App.
Note that you must be an admin in Factorial to set this up.
Sync Time Off from Factorial
Once integrated, the following details from Factorial will sync with Productive:
Time off periods (start and end dates)
Time off categories (called "Type of absence" in Factorial) are synced to Productive as absence categories and appear in Settings > Absence.
Each category is also added to the user's Absence tab as an unlimited absence allowance — day or hour counts from Factorial are not transferred.Notes attached to time-off requests
Half-days off are supported. If a user books a half-day in Factorial, it will sync to Productive as a half-day time off.
Synced time-off bookings are marked as imported from external software in the Resource Planner.
Important to Note:
Only approved time off bookings are synced.
Categories and their allowances are not created immediately on setup. They appear in Productive the first time a time-off period in that category is synced.
Default Absence Categories Sync
Factorial | Productive |
Holidays | Vacation |
Other | Personal |
Sick leave | Sick |
Compassionate leave | Personal |
Parental leave | Personal |
Custom time-off types from Factorial will appear as "custom" absence categories in Productive, which you can rename later.
Sync Frequency
Absence data is synced between 1 hour and 12 hours after integration setup.
Deleted absences sync every 3 days automatically, so no need for manual deletion.
