Document collection
Get every required form in on time
Zapier automates the intake of onboarding documentation as soon as a new hire starts the workflow. Form submissions from Jotform, Typeform, or Google Forms can create records, store files, and alert HR in Slack. That means fewer missing documents and a faster hr onboarding process.
New hire form intake
Capture onboarding documentation the moment a new hire submits a form, then create a tracking record for HR right away. This keeps employee onboarding moving without inbox monitoring.
Submission status alerts
Send Slack or Gmail notifications when required documents arrive or go missing, so HR can respond before onboarding stalls. Visibility improves across every documentation automation workflow.
Conditional document requests
Route the right document workflow based on role, location, or employment type, so each hire gets only the forms they need. That reduces confusion and cuts back on rework.
Centralized intake logs
Push each submission into Google Sheets, Airtable, or Smartsheet with timestamps and ownership attached. Teams get a clean onboarding docs trail without manual entry.

Detect incomplete onboarding documentation and send timed reminders through Gmail or Microsoft Outlook. HR stays ahead of delays without checking every record by hand.
