Employee Onboarding Flow

An internal onboarding flow designed for organizations using your product as a workplace tool. It guides new employees through the company's specific setup within the product — team channels, project access, reporting workflows — rather than teaching the product from scratch.

When to Use This Template

Trigger this flow when an admin adds a new team member and they log in for the first time. It is particularly useful for companies with 50+ employees where one-on-one training is not scalable.

Template Breakdown

1

Welcome to the team workspace

Greet the new employee by name, introduce the workspace, and explain how the company uses this tool — "This is where our team tracks projects, communicates, and reports progress."

2

Set up their personal workspace

Guide the new employee to configure their profile, notification preferences, and any personal settings. Pre-populate fields with the company's default values where possible.

3

Join required channels and projects

Automatically subscribe the employee to the channels, projects, or workspaces their role requires. Show a list of what was added and explain the purpose of each.

4

Walk through the daily workflow

Demonstrate the 3-5 actions the employee will perform most often — checking tasks, updating statuses, filing reports — using the company's actual data and terminology.

5

Introduce key contacts

Show the employee who their manager, team lead, and IT support contact are within the tool, so they know who to reach out to for different types of questions.

6

Complete a practice task

Assign a low-stakes practice task (e.g., "Update your status" or "Comment on this test project") so the employee builds confidence before handling real work.

Best Practices

  • Allow company admins to customize the onboarding flow with their own terminology, branding, and steps.
  • Record completion rates by department to identify which teams need additional training resources.
  • Pair the in-app onboarding with a human buddy or mentor for high-touch roles.
  • Include links to company-specific documentation and policies, not just generic product docs.
