What it does

This workflow collects 30-day onboarding feedback where your team already lives: Slack. It sends the buddy a short interactive check-in, interprets the reply, and keeps managers out of the loop unless something actually needs attention. The result is high buddy response rates and a clean, signal-only escalation path.

When to use it

Use it when your company runs onboarding through Slack and buddies are unlikely to fill out a formal form. It is ideal for fast-moving teams that want lightweight peer feedback at day 30 without adding survey tools, while still guaranteeing managers hear about hires who are struggling.

How it works

  1. 1A schedule fires for each new hire whose 30th day has arrived, sourced from the roster.
  2. 2The workflow resolves the buddy's Slack handle and DMs them three questions: is the hire ramping, any blockers, and a thumbs rating.
  3. 3When the buddy replies, an agent reads the free-text answers and classifies the hire as on-track or at-risk.
  4. 4A logic step routes on the classification.
  5. 5On-track results post a quiet confirmation to the People Ops log channel.
  6. 6At-risk results post an escalation message tagging the hire's manager in a private channel with the buddy's specific concerns.
