Export absences to ESIS

Last updated on October 20, 2026

As an administrator, you can have Ziber Team export absences to ESIS automatically, so you don't have to enter them twice.

Product: Ziber Team

Role: Administrator

Turn on the absence export to ESIS

The absence export to ESIS needs one setting in ESIS and one in Ziber Team.

1. In ESIS, turn on absences in the link settings. Rovict explains how in Koppeling ouderportaal (in Dutch).
2. In Ziber Team, click the gear icon and go to Sync settings.
3. Turn on the absence export to ESIS.

Next, match your absence reasons. Without matched reasons, Ziber Team exports nothing.

Match Ziber Team absence reasons to ESIS reasons

Ziber Team only exports an absence to ESIS when its reason is matched to an ESIS reason. This makes sure each absence arrives in ESIS with the right reason.

1. In Ziber Team, go to Sync settings.
2. Under Manage reasons, select the matching ESIS reason for each Ziber Team absence reason.

Check your matches whenever you add a new absence reason in Ziber Team or in ESIS.

Note: After you turn on absences in ESIS, it can take a few hours before the ESIS reasons are available in Ziber Team.

When does Ziber Team export absences to ESIS?

Ziber Team syncs absences to ESIS automatically every 5 minutes. An absence is only exported once it has an end date. Open absences are exported after they are closed.

What are the limits of the absence export to ESIS?

The absence export from Ziber Team to ESIS has these limits:

• Every exported absence is registered in ESIS as "Geoorloofd" (authorized).
• Deleted or changed absences are not synced to ESIS.
• Only absences created after you turned on the export are synced.
• Ziber Team doesn't show whether an individual absence was exported to ESIS.

Why wasn't an absence exported to ESIS?

Ziber Team skips an absence when one of these applies:

• The absence has no end date yet.
• The absence reason isn't matched to an ESIS reason.
• The absence export isn't turned on in ESIS or in Ziber Team.

If all three are in order and the absence still doesn't appear in ESIS, contact Ziber support at support@ziber.eu.
