What it does

Turns required reading into something you can actually verify. The bot pulls the onboarding handbook sections from Notion, delivers them as readable Slack messages with deep links, and then quizzes the hire with a short set of multiple-choice questions. The handbook task is only marked complete when the hire answers correctly, so compliance and policy items are genuinely understood, not just clicked through.

When to use it

Use this for policy-heavy onboarding (security, HR, compliance) where you need proof a new hire actually read and understood the material, not just a checkbox. Great for regulated teams that need an audit trail of completion.

How it works

  1. 1The workflow runs on a schedule the morning after a hire's start date.
  2. 2It fetches the assigned handbook pages from Notion and posts summaries with links in Slack.
  3. 3The bot asks comprehension questions as interactive selects.
  4. 4A logic step grades the answers; wrong answers re-surface the relevant section.
  5. 5Once the hire passes, the workflow records completion and posts a confirmation to the hire and their manager.
