About This Template

Transform your employee onboarding from a manual checklist into a fully automated provisioning system. This puq.ai template monitors your Airtable employee database and automatically creates all necessary accounts, grants role-specific access, and notifies managers — the moment a new hire is added.

Designed for growing teams who need consistent, error-free onboarding at scale, this workflow ensures every new employee has the right tools on day one, whether they're an engineer needing AWS access or a sales rep requiring HubSpot CRM.


How This Automation Works

1. Trigger on New Employee in Airtable

When a new employee record is added to your Airtable base, the workflow captures all relevant fields: name, email, role, department, manager, start date, and employment type.

2. Role-Based Routing

The workflow intelligently routes each new hire based on their role:

  • Engineering → Full developer stack provisioning
  • Sales → CRM and scheduling tools
  • Operations → Documentation and ops platforms
  • Other Roles → Basic accounts + HR notification for manual setup

3. Engineering Onboarding Path

Full-time engineers receive complete provisioning:

  • Google Workspace — Email account in Engineering OU
  • GitHub — Organization membership with team assignments
  • AWS IAM — Developer user with appropriate group permissions
  • Slack — Workspace access with #engineering, #dev-announcements channels
  • Asana — Onboarding task list assigned to manager
  • Gmail — Personalized welcome email with setup instructions

4. Sales Onboarding Path

Sales team members are set up with:

  • Google Workspace — Email account in Sales OU
  • HubSpot CRM — User account with appropriate permissions
  • Calendly — Scheduling account for prospect meetings
  • Slack — Access to #sales, #deals, #sales-wins channels
  • Asana — Sales onboarding checklist
  • Gmail — Welcome email with CRM training resources

5. Operations Onboarding Path

Operations staff receive:

  • Google Workspace — Email account in Operations OU
  • Notion — Workspace membership for SOPs and runbooks
  • Slack — Access to #operations, #ops-alerts channels
  • Asana — Operations onboarding tasks including compliance training
  • Gmail — Welcome email with first-week schedule

6. Fallback for Other Roles

Roles not matching predefined categories get basic provisioning plus HR notification for manual tool setup.

7. Manager & Leadership Notifications

Slack notifications inform managers and department leadership about new team members with complete provisioning status.
