Description

πŸš€ How it works

Fully automates your Day 0–30 employee onboarding sequence the moment HR submits a webhook. No manual steps, no missed tasks.

πŸ” Provisions Google Workspace account via Admin API
πŸ’¬ Posts a personalised welcome message to Slack
πŸ“ Creates a Notion onboarding page pre-filled with the employee's details
πŸ“§ Sends a welcome email via Gmail with first-day instructions
⏱️ Waits 7 days, then checks task completion β€” alerts the manager if anything is overdue
βœ… Waits 30 days, runs a final completion check and closes the onboarding loop
πŸ› οΈ Set up steps

Estimated setup time: ~20 minutes

Webhook β€” copy the webhook URL and send it from your HR system (BambooHR, HiBob, Workday, or a simple form)
Google Workspace β€” connect a Service Account with Domain-Wide Delegation; grant admin.directory.user scope
Slack β€” connect Slack OAuth2; set the welcome channel in the node (e.g. #general)
Notion β€” connect Notion OAuth2; set your Onboarding database ID in the Create Page node
Gmail β€” connect Gmail OAuth2; customise the welcome email template in the Send Email node
Follow the sticky notes inside the workflow β€” each key node has a one-liner guide
πŸ“‹ Prerequisites
