HR & RECRUITING

Start-Date Countdown Provisioning Reminders

Runs daily, finds hires starting in the next five business days, and nudges each provisioning owner whose task is still open so equipment and accounts are ready before day one.

  • OutputPost outstanding summary to HR ops channelSlack

What it does

Watches your upcoming-starts roster and chases down any provisioning task that is still incomplete as the start date approaches. Owners get a direct, escalating reminder only for the items they still owe.

When to use it

Use it when tasks get created on time but stall — the laptop never gets ordered, the badge request sits unread — and you need automated follow-up instead of an HR person manually chasing owners every morning.

How it works

  1. 1A daily schedule triggers the run each business morning.
  2. 2The flow queries Postgres for hires with a start date inside the next five business days.
  3. 3A logic step joins each hire to their open provisioning tasks and computes days-until-start, dropping anyone fully provisioned.
  4. 4For each open item it sends the owner a Gmail reminder with the hire's name, the item, and the deadline.
  5. 5A summary of everything still outstanding is posted to the HR operations Slack channel for visibility.
