What it does

Runs a daily sweep that looks ahead for upcoming start dates and prepares access in advance instead of scrambling on the first morning. It pre-creates accounts, drops a welcome packet, and notifies IT of anything that needs a human.

When to use it

Use this when same-day provisioning leaves new hires waiting on accounts. Staging three days out gives IT a buffer to resolve license shortages or naming conflicts before the employee logs in.

How it works

  1. 1A scheduled trigger runs every weekday morning.
  2. 2An Airtable action queries the onboarding tracker for hires whose start date is exactly three business days away.
  3. 3A logic step filters out anyone already provisioned to avoid duplicates.
  4. 4A Google Drive action creates each hire's folder and copies the standard welcome packet into it.
  5. 5A Microsoft Teams action pre-adds them to the org and assigns a license.
  6. 6A final Slack digest summarizes who was prepped and flags any failures to #it-onboarding.
