The Humaans integration in Productive allows you to sync time-off categories and bookings, ensuring your absence data is consistent across both platforms.
Integration Setup
To set up the Humaans integration, follow these steps:
1) Access the App Marketplace
Navigate to Settings > App Marketplace in Productive.
2) Connect Humaans
Locate Humaans in the list of available apps and click on Connect App.
Note that you must be an admin in Humaans to set this up.
Syncing Absences from Humaans
Once integrated, Productive will sync the following absence data from Humaans.
Approved Absences Only
Only absences that have been approved in Humaans will be synced.
Absence Categories
Time away types categorized as "Time off" in Humaans 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 Humaans are not transferred. "Working" time away types are not synced.
📌 Don't see a category or allowance yet? It will appear in Productive once the first time-off booking of that type is approved and synced from Humaans.
Resource Planner
Synced time-off bookings are marked as imported from external software in the Resource Planner.
Synced Information
Each time off booking will sync the time away period, time away category, and any notes associated with the booking.
Half-days off are supported. If a user books a half-day in Humaans, it will sync to Productive as a half-day time off.
