Welcomes new hires in Slack, asks a few questions about them, and posts an introduction to the team channel.

When a new employee joins the Slack workspace, they usually stay invisible — no one knows who arrived or what they do. This template automatically solves the introduction problem: the bot messages the new hire, collects a few facts about them, and posts an introduction to the team channel. No HR involvement, no manual steps.

Why it works

👋 Automatic trigger — the bot reacts to every new workspace member without manual launch

🎯 Introduction from day one — new hires are never invisible in the workspace

🔄 Consistent experience for everyone — every employee goes through the same onboarding flow

⚡ Zero load on HR — onboarding runs itself, even on weekends

Solution KPIs

⏱ −30 min of HR time per new hire — greeting and data collection are fully automated

📊 100% coverage — no new member goes unnoticed

🤝 Fast team integration — colleagues meet the new hire on day one

📋 Team roster updates automatically

Who it's for

Built for IT companies, adaptable to any team with a Slack workspace: tech companies, digital agencies, startups, remote teams, corporate departments.

⏱ Launch: 1 hour of your data → configured in a day → the bot greets your first new hire on launch day.

How it works

A new employee accepts the email invite and enters the workspace. The bot immediately messages them: offers to introduce them to the team and asks three questions — what they'll be working on, where they came from, and something interesting about themselves. Based on the answers, it drafts a post and publishes it in #general: "Meet Alina — our new Product Manager. Came from e-commerce, loves running. @alina, welcome!" Colleagues see it, react — introduction complete.

The bot asks just three questions — that's enough to introduce someone to the team. The questions are simple and easy to answer, so the new hire doesn't feel overwhelmed on their first day. What the bot asks: ❓ What will you be working on? ❓ Where did you come from? ❓ Something interesting about yourself for the team?

Employee cards for all new hires are automatically saved — HR can see who joined, which department, and when.

How to get started
