Import holidays from countries worldwide.

Pick the countries your business observes. If you have offices in more than one country, tick each one and import their holidays together.

  • Delete unwanted holidays
  • Add custom holidays
  • Set recurring holidays
How it works

From a country list to your 3CX holidays in four steps.

It all happens on the Holiday Settings screen of a web application you sign in to with your 3CX extension number and voicemail PIN.

  1. Choose countries

    Tick one country or several from the list of country holidays.

  2. Pick the year and department

    Choose the year you want, and the 3CX department the holidays are for.

  3. Get and review

    Choose Get Holidays to list the dates. Edit, delete or add holidays before anything is saved.

  4. Save to 3CX

    Save, and the holidays are written to 3CX for that department.

Importing replaces any holidays already set in 3CX, so review the list before you save.

Holiday Importer is included in the VoIPTools Subscription.

Details

Requirements, updates and documentation.

Downloads and documentation
  • 3CX version 20
  • A Windows server for Holiday Importer, separate from the 3CX server: Windows 10 or later, or Windows Server 2016 or later
  • Microsoft SQL Server Express, which the installer finds and installs for you if it is missing, on the VoIPTools server, not the 3CX server. You can also use your own existing SQL Server. We strongly recommend SQL Server 2025: its free Express edition holds databases up to 50 GB, five times more than earlier versions.
  • VoIPTools Relay, which connects Holiday Importer to your 3CX system. It is the only VoIPTools software installed directly on the 3CX server, and it must be installed there, not on the VoIPTools server.
  • 3CX on Windows or Linux, in any cloud (such as Amazon, Microsoft Azure or Google) or on premises. Not compatible with 3CX servers hosted and managed by 3CX, which do not allow third-party software.

Check the documentation for the current release and full setup details for your environment.

Questions

Holiday Importer questions, answered.

Anything else? Our support team answers 24/7 from the USA, India and the Philippines.

Will importing change holidays already in 3CX?+
Yes. Importing replaces any holidays already configured in 3CX. Review the list first, and edit, delete or add holidays before you save.
How far ahead can I import?+
Holiday dates are available through the year 2029. For holidays on the same day every year, set the year to Each and the holiday repeats.
Can I import more than one country?+
Yes. Tick several countries and get their holidays in one list, then remove any you do not observe.
Can I add a holiday that is not on the list?+
Yes. Add a custom holiday with its name, day, month and year, then save it to 3CX along with the rest.
Why is the default department not in the list?+
It is left out on purpose. In 3CX the default department includes everyone on the system, and importing for everyone at once can slow larger systems down. Choose the department the holidays are for instead.
What do I need to run it?+
A separate Windows server (not the 3CX server), connected to your phone system through the VoIPTools Relay. The installer adds the prerequisites it finds missing. The full list is under Requirements above.
Which 3CX versions does it work with?+
It works with 3CX version 20. It is installed on a separate Windows server, never on the 3CX server. The only VoIPTools software on the 3CX server is the VoIPTools Relay. 3CX can run on Windows or Linux, in any cloud or on premises, but not on servers hosted and managed by 3CX.
