Instead of manually emailing new employees each week during their first month, set up Mailchimp to send a timed sequence that starts the day they join. Each email covers a different topic—company culture, benefits enrollment, key contacts, first-month goals—and includes links to documents they need. BambooHR triggers the sequence start so HR does nothing after the initial setup.
Write a set of onboarding email templates in Mailchimp covering: welcome, safety policies, payroll setup, tools and software, 30-day expectations, and manager intro.
Build a Mailchimp Customer Journey that triggers the sequence when a contact is added to an 'Onboarding' audience with timed delays (Day 1, Day 7, Day 14, Day 21, Day 30).
In Make, create a scenario triggered when BambooHR marks an employee as 'Active' that adds the new hire's work email to the Mailchimp 'Onboarding' audience.
Test the full sequence with a test email address and confirm timing and content look correct.
