Day-One Account Provisioning from New-Hire Roster

When a new hire's start date is added to the Airtable roster, this workflow creates their Slack account invite, schedules a Day 1 calendar onboarding block.

What it does

Turns a single Airtable row into a fully provisioned Day 1: a Slack invite to the right channels, a calendar onboarding block, and a personalized welcome email — all fired automatically when HR marks the hire as confirmed.

When to use it

Use when your HR team tracks new hires in Airtable and wants account setup to happen the moment a start date is locked, instead of a manager remembering to do it manually the night before.

How it works

  1. 1The flow triggers when a roster row's status changes to "Confirmed" with a populated start date.
  2. 2A filter checks that the start date is within the next 14 days, so future-dated rows don't fire early.
  3. 3It sends a Slack workspace invite scoped to the new hire's department channels.
  4. 4It creates a Google Calendar onboarding block on the morning of Day 1, inviting the hire and their assigned buddy.
  5. 5It sends a Gmail welcome message with login links, the calendar details, and first-day logistics.
  6. 6The final step writes the provisioning timestamp back to Airtable so HR sees it's done.
