Transform your employee onboarding with Zapier
Zapier helps HR teams build more reliable employee onboarding automation without adding manual admin work. Launch onboarding workflows, update HRIS records, and coordinate first-day tasks—and that's just the start.
New hire intake
Turn completed forms into ready-to-run onboarding
Capture employee onboarding details the moment a new hire submits their information. Zapier routes data from Jotform, Google Forms, or Airtable into BambooHR, Google Sheets, or Notion for cleaner hr onboarding workflows. That means fewer handoffs and a faster start to onboarding automation.
Form submission routing
Route every completed intake form into your HR onboarding workflow the moment it arrives. New hire details land in BambooHR, Google Sheets, or Airtable, so HR is not chasing scattered submissions.
HRIS record creation
Create employee records automatically when candidate data is marked ready for onboarding. That gives hr professionals a clean handoff from Ashby or Salesforce into BambooHR, Hibob, or Personio.
Spreadsheet intake logs
Log each new hire in a shared tracker as soon as onboarding starts. Teams get a current view of employee onboarding volume, status, and owners without maintaining rows by hand.
Document request follow-up
Send reminders when required onboarding details are still missing before a start date. This keeps forms, approvals, and profile fields moving before delays pile up.
Start date capture
Pull start dates into your onboarding workflow and trigger the right timeline automatically. HR can line up tasks, calendar holds, and communications around the actual first day.
