How to Connect Personio with Yoffix
The Personio integration allows Yoffix to automatically sync employee data and absence statuses so your desk booking, room booking, and hybrid workplace management always reflect real-time HR information.
With just a few steps, you can connect Yoffix to Personio and automate user provisioning and attendance synchronization.
What the Personio Integration Does
Once connected, Yoffix will:
Import employee profiles (name, email, department, position)
Sync absence statuses from Personio to Yoffix
Automatically reflect availability in desk booking and hybrid attendance views
Optionally sync bookings from Yoffix back to Personio
This ensures your hybrid office planning, team coordination, and attendance management always align with official HR records.
How Status Sync Works
Personio acts as the primary source of truth for absences.
If an employee has a conflicting status in Personio, Yoffix will override manual bookings to ensure data consistency.
Personio → Yoffix Status Mapping
Personio Status | Yoffix Status |
|---|---|
paid_vacation | Not available (Vacation) |
offsite_work | Remote |
sick_leave | Not available (Sick leave) |
maternity_protection_period | Not available |
parental_leave | Not available |
other_time_off_statuses | Not available |
This prevents incorrect desk reservations and improves hybrid attendance accuracy.
