FAQ

Switching from Connecteam.

How does Octofi work with our team chat?

Octofi works with Microsoft Teams and Slack, where your team already talks, and uses their presence to keep the Activity Status dashboard current automatically.

How does Octofi track hours without a time clock?

Every activity status change is timestamped, so you get a detailed record of worked time by activity, person, and team, without anyone punching in or out.

Is single sign-on included?

Yes. Microsoft Entra ID and Google Workspace sign-in are included on every plan, and any SAML provider is available on Enterprise.

Can you move our existing schedules over?
