Approvals and notifications now travel with you on mobile
The flair mobile app now supports push notifications, so you get real-time alerts the moment an absence is approved, an announcement goes out, or an approval request lands in your queue — even when the app is in the background. Tap an approval notification and you go straight to the request itself, where you can review the details and approve or decline without ever leaving your phone. Tap an absence notification and a dedicated details page opens with the full context.
Key highlights:
- Real-time push for absence approvals, announcements and other important events
- Review and act on approval requests assigned to you directly from your phone
- Notification tap-through opens the right screen — no more hunting through menus

Pin announcements and track who's read them
Two upgrades land for Company Announcements this month. You can now pin the announcements that matter most so they stay at the top of the feed in the Hub and in the Salesforce Last Updates widget, regardless of when they were published — perfect for policy changes, ongoing initiatives or anything you'd rather employees didn't miss. And tracked acknowledgements got more reliable: the publish-time notifications (push, email, Slack and web) now fire end-to-end, so when you publish an important announcement employees actually hear about it.
Key highlights:
- Pin announcements so they stay at the top of the feed
- Require employees to acknowledge they've read an announcement, and see who has
- Push, email, Slack and web notifications fire reliably on publish

More Improvements This Month
Document folders in the Employee Hub
The Corporate Documents tab now displays the folders HR admins create, with breadcrumb navigation for multi-level hierarchies. You only see folders that contain at least one document visible to you, so the view stays clean. Corporate documents have also moved under the Company menu — a redirect points anyone going to the old location to the new one. Learn more about documents →
Face Scan kiosk login (Pilot)
Employees can now log in to a kiosk by scanning their face. Admins enable face login per-kiosk via the new Login by Face Scan checkbox in kiosk settings, and face enrolment is managed from the employee record in Salesforce. Available as a pilot — talk to your CSM if you'd like to try it.
Required attachments and form controls in Request Forms
Request Forms with a required document upload now block submission until at least one file is attached, and the Attachments field shows a required indicator so the rule is visible up front. Two new toggles — Hide reason field and Hide attachment field — let admins skip the Reason and Files step entirely; hide flags take precedence over any matching required flags. Required extra fields are also now enforced on project time-entry save. Learn more about request forms →
SMS authentication for document signers
Document signers can be required to authenticate with a one-time password sent by SMS before signing. The signer's phone number is taken automatically from their employee or candidate record, and the signing modal raises a clear error if it's missing so HR can correct it before sending.

Smaller Updates & Fixes
- Absence Management: Admins can assign a custom color per absence category. The color shows across calendar views and absence overviews in the Hub.
- Documents: Mass employee document upload now runs in the background with live progress, so creating documents from 300+ file batches reliably completes.
- Org Chart: The org chart auto-compresses its layout when filters are applied, making filtered views much easier to scan.
- Hub Connection: When the Hub's Salesforce connection expires, employees now see a clear message asking them to contact HR to reconnect, instead of a generic error.
- Mobile: A dedicated absence details page opens when you tap an absence notification, with the full context already loaded.
- Calendar: Fixed an issue where absences spanning the year boundary (e.g. Dec 21 – Jan 1) were missing from the People → Absence Calendar for the starting year. They now appear in both years.
