What it does

Turns a new-hire record into a fully populated Asana onboarding project. It picks the correct task template for the person's role (engineering, sales, support, etc.), creates the project, and assigns every task to the right owner — IT for laptop provisioning, the hiring manager for goal-setting, HR for paperwork — with due dates anchored to the start date.

When to use it

Use it when you hire across multiple departments and a single generic checklist no longer fits. It removes the manual copy-paste of templates and the guesswork about who owns what, so day-one readiness is consistent for every role.

How it works

  1. 1A webhook fires from your HRIS or applicant tracking system when a hire is confirmed, carrying name, role, manager, and start date.
  2. 2A branch maps the role to the matching Asana template ID; unknown roles fall back to a general checklist.
  3. 3The flow creates a new Asana project from that template for the new hire.
  4. 4Each task is assigned to its function owner and given a due date offset from the start date (e.g. laptop -3 days, benefits +1 day).
  5. 5The finished project link is posted to the hiring manager and HR.
