πŸš€ How it works Fully automates your Day 0–30 employee onboarding sequence the moment HR submits a webhook. No manual steps, no missed tasks. - πŸ” Provisions Google Workspace account via Admin API - πŸ’¬ Posts a personalised welcome message to Slack - πŸ“ Creates a Notion onboarding page pre-filled with the employee's details - πŸ“§ Sends a welcome email via Gmail with first-day instructions - ⏱️ Waits 7 days, then checks task completion β€” alerts the manager if anything is overdue - βœ… Waits 30 days, runs a final completion check and closes the onboarding loop πŸ› οΈ Set up steps Estimated setup time: ~20 minutes 1.
