HR & RECRUITING
Generate Asana onboarding tasks from a new-hire HR event
When a new hire is added in your HRIS, automatically spin up a role-specific onboarding project in Asana with dated tasks assigned to the right owners.
How it runs
The automated pipeline, trigger to output.

- LogicBranch on department and role to pick checklist
- ActionCreate onboarding project in AsanaAsana
- ActionAdd tasks with owners and due datesAsana
- OutputEmail kickoff summary to manager and hireOutlook
What it does
Turns a new-hire record into a fully populated Asana onboarding project. It reads the hire's role, department, and start date, builds the matching task checklist (IT provisioning, payroll setup, benefits enrollment, first-week meetings), assigns each task to the responsible owner, and sets due dates relative to the start date. The manager and new hire receive a tidy kickoff summary by email.
When to use it
Use it when onboarding is repetitive but the exact checklist varies by role or department, and tasks currently get created by hand. Best for teams that already run onboarding in Asana and want zero manual project setup.
