Plain-language answers, with the tools behind them.

When you add a new hire to BambooHR, Make creates a dedicated Notion page pre-filled with their role, start date, and first-week schedule — then posts a warm welcome message in your company Slack channel so the whole team knows who joined. Your new employee arrives to a ready workspace, not a blank screen.

When you mark a new employee as hired in BambooHR, Make automatically creates a templated onboarding project in Asana with every task pre-assigned to the right team member. No more building checklists by hand or emailing managers to remember their steps.

When a new employee is created in Rippling, Make automatically creates their Google Workspace account, adds them to the right Google Groups based on department, and sends a welcome message to your company Slack channel. Your IT team stops clicking through admin consoles for every new hire. The new staff member has a working email and Slack access before they even open their laptop.

The moment HR marks a new employee as 'Active' in BambooHR, an Asana project is automatically created from a template with every onboarding task already assigned and due-dated. An email goes to the manager, IT, and the new hire with links to their tasks. Nobody has to copy a checklist or send individual emails—everything is done before the new hire's first day.

When a team member's photo is exported from Avatar on Mac, Make detects the new file in Google Drive and automatically updates that person's Google Workspace directory photo and Slack profile picture. Every client-facing directory stays consistent without anyone logging in to update profiles manually.

When a new employee photo is uploaded to a shared Google Drive folder, Avatar removes the background and applies a consistent style, producing a polished headshot ready to upload to BambooHR and your company directory. No more mismatched photos in your HR system.

Use MindMeister (a mind-mapping tool) to build a visual onboarding process map, then connect it to Make so every branch of the map becomes a real task in Todoist when a new hire is added. Your whole team can see the process clearly, and the tasks run automatically. You only build the map once.

After a new hire starts, this automation sends them a short check-in message every day for their first week — reminding them of that day's tasks and asking one quick question about how things are going. Responses get logged automatically so managers can spot problems early without scheduling extra meetings.

This automation creates a personalized onboarding workspace in Coda (a connected doc and database tool) for every new employee, pre-filled with their role, team, and a 30-60-90 day plan. The new hire and their manager both get access automatically. You stop rebuilding the same document from scratch every time someone joins.

When a manager fills out a new hire intake form, this automation creates a complete onboarding project in Todoist (a task management app) with every task assigned to the right person and sorted by week. Your HR team, IT team, and manager each see only their tasks. Nothing falls through the cracks.

When you add a new hire to your system, this automation builds a full onboarding checklist in Notion with every task already assigned and due dates set. Your new employee gets a welcome message with a link to their checklist on day one. No more copying templates by hand or forgetting steps.

The moment a new hire's start date arrives, this automation sends them a welcome message with links to every tool they need, their Notion onboarding page, and a day-one checklist. Follow-up reminders go out automatically on day 3 and day 7 for any tasks they haven't finished. You stop manually sending welcome emails and reminder pings.
