Automate employee onboarding

Connect your ATS, chat, calendar, and docs — Relay.app runs the whole onboarding workflow, and you swap any step for the apps you already use.

Every new hire means the same dozen tasks across a dozen tools — and on day one, something always slips.

Relay.app automates the entire onboarding workflow: the moment an offer is signed in Greenhouse, accounts are provisioned, the buddy intro is drafted and reviewed, and day one is scheduled — across Slack, Gmail, Calendar, and Notion.

Here's how it works, step by step

Onboarding starts the moment an offer is signed

  • A candidate signs their offer in Greenhouse and the workflow fires instantly.
  • Relay.app pulls the new hire's name, role, team, and start date straight from the offer.
Don't use Greenhouse? This trigger also runs from:

Provision the new hire's accounts and access groups automatically

  • Relay.app invites the new hire to your Slack workspace automatically.
  • It adds them to the right Google Groups — engineering@, all-hands@, whichever lists their role needs.
On a different stack? Run the same steps with:

Draft a personalized buddy intro, review it, and send

  • Claude drafts the email, referencing the new hire's role, team, start date, and why they're a great match.
  • People Ops gets a Slack DM with the draft and can tweak names or tone in seconds.
  • Once approved, Gmail sends it — so the buddy walks in knowing exactly who they're meeting.
Prefer a different setup? Try:

Schedule the day-one kick-off and prep the onboarding page

  • Google Calendar books a 30-minute kick-off — buddy, manager, and new hire — with the agenda already filled in.
  • Notion spins up a personal onboarding page from your team's template, pre-filled with their name, role, and manager.
  • They arrive to a doc that's actually ready — not a stale copy of last month's.

Make it yours in Relay.app

Start from this template — describe what you want in plain English and Relay.app's copilot builds it for you, then swap any app, change the AI model, or tweak any step until it fits your team.

What is Relay.app?

Relay.app is the easiest way to automate with AI across 200+ popular apps, with fine-grained control over what each workflow can access and do.

Describe what you want and Relay.app's AI builds the workflow for you. But if you like to tinker, you'll love using the visual editor. It's fast, opinionated, intuitive, and feels nothing like wiring diagrams.
