What it does

Builds an entire structured first week of calendar events for a new hire — orientation, manager 1:1, tooling training, and team intros — and pings every host so they know to prepare.

When to use it

Use when new hires arrive to an empty calendar and managers scramble to book meetings ad hoc. This lays down a consistent, repeatable first-week schedule the moment someone starts.

How it works

  1. 1The flow triggers on a schedule each morning and reads any roster rows whose start date is today.
  2. 2For each new hire, it pulls the role-specific onboarding agenda template from Airtable.
  3. 3It creates a sequence of Google Calendar events across days 1 through 5, inviting the hire plus each session's host.
  4. 4A logic step staggers training sessions so two never overlap on the hire's calendar.
  5. 5It sends each host a Slack heads-up with their session topic, time, and the new hire's name.
  6. 6The final step posts the full first-week agenda to the new hire as a Gmail summary.
