Automate new-hire onboarding tasks across Slack, Jira, and Gmail

The moment someone is marked as hired, this sets up their tasks, folder, welcome email, and Slack message automatically.

How the work actually flows

It branches. Every path runs; all paths must finish before it continues.

The problem it solves

Onboarding a new hire usually means jumping between several different tools to create tasks, share files, send a welcome email, and introduce them on Slack. If you forget a step, the new hire's first day feels disorganized before it even starts.

Who it fits

An HR team, startup founder, or operations lead onboarding new employees without a dedicated onboarding platform.

How it works

  1. A new hire is marked as hired in a spreadsheet or Slack
  2. The system creates onboarding tasks in Jira based on their role
  3. It sets up a Google Drive folder and shares it with the new hire
  4. It sends a personalized welcome email and posts a Slack introduction
  5. The spreadsheet is updated with onboarding status and links
What you get

Onboarding tasks ready before the new hire's first day

The moment someone is hired, their tasks, folder, welcome email, and Slack introduction get set up automatically, so you can welcome them without scrambling on day one.

What you get

A complete onboarding record with tasks assigned, a shared folder, a welcome email sent, and a Slack introduction posted.

What you need

Slack, Jira Cloud, and Google Workspace accounts, plus Gmail.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.

That is what a Fractional Chief AI Officer figures out with you, before anyone writes a line of code.
