HiBob iCal Troubleshooting

Having trouble syncing your HiBob time off with Dialpad WFM? Here are three things to check within your HiBob account.

Who can use this

Dialpad WFM is available to all Dialpad users.

Contact your Customer Success Manager to discuss adding Dialpad WFM to your plan.

Ensure all members are included in your iCal

You can generate an iCal for your team in two ways:

  • Create an iCal for everyone

    • This is the safest method to ensure that we get everyone’s time off.

  • Create an iCal for a select group of people

    • Generate the iCal from a filtered view, and filter everyone on your team.

To generate the iCal link, head to the HiBob time off schedule

  1. Select Options (that’s the 3 dots)

  2. Select Sync with external calendar

    1. Choose to generate an iCal for everyone

    2. Choose to generate an iCal for filtered view

You can adjust your filters from the time off schedule in the top right.

Ensure agent names match in Dialpad WFM

In HiBob, set the display names for your team (these appear in the iCal export). Ensure the name includes both first and last names and matches exactly with the name in Dialpad WFM.

To check and edit an agent’s display name, navigate to the People page.

  1. Select an agent

  2. Navigate to Basic info

  3. Select the pencil icon to edit

Ensure time off policies are publicly visible

HiBob lets you set time-off policies with specific rules for requests and management.

If you include a policy in the iCal, make sure to set its visibility to Public.

To check the visibility of a policy, navigate to Time.

  1. Select Time off settings

  2. Select Policies

  3. Select the policy you want to check

  4. Select Request

  5. Navigate to Visibility

You should see the visibility setting as either public or private.

To change the visibility settings:

  1. Select Actions

  2. Select Edit

  3. On the sidebar, select Request

  4. Navigate to Visibility

  5. Select Public or Private to change the policy

  6. Select Next

  7. Select Done
