More details

When someone's out of office, Jira projects shouldn't stall. User Absence Planner keeps your workflows running — automatically.

Plan absences with dates, type (holiday, sick leave, business trip), and a custom message. Before leaving, bulk-reassign or comment open issues so nothing gets stuck.

Auto-reassign issues to a deputy during absences — no manual handover needed.

See availability inside every Jira issue — assignee, reporter, and user custom fields — so you never assign tasks to someone who's away.

Team absence overview for sprint planning and resource management.

REST API to sync absences with HR systems or external tools.

Admin controls: custom absence types, user permissions, and full visibility across your organization.

🔒 Built on Atlassian Forge and Runs on Atlassian — data never leaves your Jira instance.

See all app updates and a public roadmap on this page.

Our latest release brings expanded automation support.

Manage Absence Automation Actions

You can now automate the creation, update, or deletion of absence entries with powerful Jira Automation actions. The automation action checks for app permissions and provision of all required details and then creates, updates, or deletes the absences smoothly in the background.

Check User Availability Automation

A new automation action allows you to check if a specific user is available on the current day. By providing a user as input, the action returns that user's availability status and the start and end time of the absence if the user is ooo.

Get Absences for User Automation Action

The new "Get Absences for User" automation action lets you retrieve all absences for a specified user. You can add either account id or email of the user directly in the rule UI, and the action outputs structured absence data for use in subsequent automation steps.
