What it does

Maps a new hire's role to a standard equipment bundle, opens an IT fulfillment request, and keeps the equipment status visible in one place so nobody starts their first day without a laptop.

When to use it

Use when equipment provisioning is the bottleneck in onboarding and you want role-based hardware packages requested and tracked automatically rather than over email threads.

How it works

  1. 1The flow triggers when a new-hire record gains an "Equipment Needed" flag in Airtable.
  2. 2A logic step matches the hire's role (engineer, sales, ops) to a predefined equipment package.
  3. 3It creates a structured equipment-request record in Airtable with the resolved line items and ship-to address.
  4. 4It posts a formatted request to the IT fulfillment channel in Slack, tagging the on-duty asset manager.
  5. 5A scheduled follow-up checks whether the request was marked shipped within three business days.
  6. 6If still unfulfilled, it escalates with a reminder in Slack so the package ships before the start date.
