What it does

Makes day one feel handled. When a hire starts, the workflow sends a warm, personalized welcome email with first-day logistics, books their recurring 1:1 and orientation sessions on the calendar, and introduces them in the team's Slack channel.

When to use it

Use it to guarantee every new hire gets a consistent, friendly first-day experience without a coordinator manually sending emails and creating invites. Great for distributed teams where day one is fully remote.

How it works

  1. 1A scheduled trigger fires each morning and matches any hire whose start date is today.
  2. 2A Gmail step sends a personalized welcome email with first-day links, login steps, and their buddy's name.
  3. 3Google Calendar events are created for orientation, the manager 1:1, and an IT setup block during week one.
  4. 4A Slack message posts to the team channel introducing the new hire with their role and a fun fact.
  5. 5A confirmation summary of what was sent and scheduled is returned to the People team.
