What it does

Catches onboarding that quietly stalled. It scans the provisioning tracker for hires whose start date has passed but whose account setup is still incomplete, classifies how stuck each one is, and routes them — gentle nudge for minor gaps, a real page for hires who are fully blocked on their first day.

When to use it

Use this as a safety net behind your provisioning automation. Even good setup flows fail silently — a SaaS API times out, an approval never came through. This finds those gaps before the new hire notices.

How it works

  1. 1A scheduled run starts the audit.
  2. 2The flow queries the tracker (Airtable) for hires past start date with open provisioning items.
  3. 3It classifies each: minor gap, multiple gaps, or fully blocked with no working accounts.
  4. 4A branch routes by severity.
  5. 5Minor and multiple-gap cases get an itemized nudge posted to the IT channel.
  6. 6Fully-blocked day-one cases trigger a PagerDuty incident to the on-call IT engineer.
  7. 7It updates each tracker row with the escalation status and timestamp.
