What is HR automation?
HR automation uses software to do repetitive tasks for you across the full employee lifecycle. That way, you can support employees, stay compliant, and keep people operations running smoothly.
HR challenges automation solves
Onboarding paperwork slows everything down
Time-off requests keep bouncing between people
Compliance tracking gets messy fast
Employee data lives in too many places
Offboarding always turns into a scramble
Benefits enrollment creates too many follow-ups
How it works
HR automation connects your tools, triggers actions from employee events, and streamlines workflows across onboarding, compliance, and employee requests. Send forms, route approvals, and update records automatically—without chasing paperwork.
Step 1
Connect your tools
Integrate your HRIS, payroll software, recruiting tools, eSignature tools, and communication apps.
Step 2
Define triggers
Set actions to run when hires start, requests come in, documents are signed, or employees depart.
Step 3
Automate & measure
Assign tasks, send reminders, update records, and notify managers automatically.

Create accounts for new hires
When a hire is confirmed, create accounts in core systems and send setup tasks to the right owners automatically.
Notify managers before day one
Before day one, send reminders with start dates, equipment needs, and onboarding steps so managers come prepared.
Track onboarding progress live
Track each onboarding milestone in your HRIS or spreadsheet so you can spot delays and keep every hire on schedule.

See how teams are automating with Zapier (and loving it!)
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 — 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.
Allen Lai, Head of Customer Experience
We've been able to scale our operations while staying lean. Zapier lets us do more without needing more people.
