Employee Onboarding
Provision accounts, send the buddy email, prep day one — before People Ops opens their laptop.
People Ops spends day-one juggling tabs: inviting the new hire to Slack, adding them to four Google Groups, drafting a buddy intro email, blocking the kick-off, copying last month's onboarding doc. Relay.app does the work: the moment an offer's signed in Greenhouse, the new hire's accounts get provisioned, the assigned buddy gets a personalized intro email after a quick People Ops review, and the kick-off plus onboarding page are ready before day one.
The moment an offer's signed, onboarding kicks off
Every Relay.app workflow starts with a trigger — a signal that tells it when to run. Here it's an ATS event: a candidate signs their offer in Greenhouse and the workflow fires immediately. No more #people-ops pings asking "did the offer come back yet?" or scrambling on Monday to provision someone whose start date is Tuesday — the system already knows.
Spin up the new hire's accounts and access groups
Relay.app invites the new hire to your Slack workspace and adds them to the right Google Groups — engineering@, all-hands@, whichever distribution lists their role lives on. The basics are done before anyone in People Ops opens their laptop. Both steps are swappable: if you live in Microsoft Teams and Sharepoint, the same workflow keeps running with that stack instead.
Draft the buddy intro, get a quick review, send it
Claude drafts the email to the assigned buddy — referencing the new hire's role, team, start date, and one sentence about what makes them a good match. Before it goes out, People Ops gets a Slack DM with the draft and can tweak names or tone in seconds. Once approved, Gmail sends it. The buddy walks in tomorrow knowing exactly who they're showing the ropes to.
Schedule the kick-off and prep the onboarding page
Google Calendar drops a 30-minute kick-off invite on day-one morning — buddy, manager, and the new hire — with the agenda already in the description. Then Notion creates a personal onboarding page from your team's template, pre-filled with the new hire's name, role, manager, and first-week reading list. They walk in to a doc that's actually ready, not a stale copy of last month's.
