Automatically welcome new hires in Slack and create their onboarding tasks when HR adds them to your system. Perfect for HR teams managing remote onboarding.

Workflow Steps

1

Zapier

Monitor new employee records

Set up a Zapier trigger to watch for new employee entries in your HRIS system (BambooHR, Workday, or Google Sheets). Configure it to trigger when a new row is added with employee details.

2

Slack

Send personalized welcome message

Create a Slack action that posts a welcome message to your general channel introducing the new hire. Include their name, role, start date, and a friendly team greeting.

3

Slack

Create private onboarding channel

Automatically create a dedicated private Slack channel for the new employee named '#onboarding-[firstname]' and invite relevant team members (HR, manager, IT).

4

Asana

Generate onboarding task list

Create a new Asana project from your onboarding template with tasks assigned to different team members (IT setup, manager check-ins, training modules) with due dates based on the employee's start date.
