1.Detect new or updated hire row
Integrate Google Sheets and spreadsheet workflow tools to watch row updates and pull hire payloads for sending pre-onboarding emails.
Send pre-onboarding email automatically from updated hire row
Automatically monitor hire row updates across Google Sheets and use Gmail for pre-onboarding outreach. Create and update when qualifying rows change, send flags turn on, or start dates shiftβso you can send emails, log message IDs, and avoid duplicate follow-up without manual follow-up.
How this automation accelerates your pre-onboarding outreach
When hire rows update but outreach is delayed, pre-onboarding timing slips and hires wait on next steps. This automation monitors row changes, sends pre-onboarding emails, and logs message and thread details for audit and follow-upβso your team can act faster.

Without Zapier, we would have needed well over 100 employees today just to do what we're doing. We would have been out of business by now.
David Laderberg, VP of Sales
Without having automation, we would have to at least be double our size. Doubling is a bit of a euphemism β I think we would have died or fallen back into oblivion.
Marcelo Lebre, Co-Founder
Zapier helps us close far above 50% more deals than we would without it. It is a key element of our overall strategy and, therefore, of our sales pitch.
Raphael Bochner, Founder and CIO
Zapier gives us unlimited flexibility and creativity. With Zapier, you're like an artist with a blank canvas. I don't know what we'd do without it.
Rishi Shah, CEO and Co-Founder
We don't just want to patch holes; we want to build scalable, future-proof systems. Zapier is helping us do that.
