1.Detect new onboarding email
Integrate Gmail and email routing tools to trigger on incoming onboarding messages and to route qualifying onboarding emails to the flow.
Add staff directory entries from onboarding emails quickly
Automatically monitor incoming onboarding emails across Gmail and route qualifying messages to your directory workflow. Create and update staff records when onboarding emails arrive, attachments contain staff details, or messages match onboarding keywords—so you can prevent manual data entry, populate contact fields, and capture onboarding notes without copying details.
How this automation accelerates your staff directory
When new onboarding emails arrive, staff details can get delayed in scattered inboxes and cause provisioning slowdowns. This automation parses onboarding email content and creates directory records and file links—so your team can provision accounts and devices 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 — 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.
