Create employee record and send welcome email with docs

Automatically monitor new hire form submissions across Jotform, Google Drive, Gmail, and Zapier Tables. Create and update when onboarding details are submitted—so you can send welcome emails, create employee records, and prefill onboarding forms without manual onboarding setup.

How this automation accelerates employee onboarding

When new hire form submissions happen, onboarding setup delays can leave documents and records incomplete. This automation finds starter pack links, sends welcome emails, creates employee records, and assigns prefilled onboarding forms—so your team can onboard faster.
