✨ How does Process Automation work?

Imagine an HR manager at Acme.com, responsible for onboarding batch after batch of new hires. This process can be tedious—requiring constant follow-ups with multiple teams for tasks like seat allocation, laptop requisitions, and manager assignments.

Now, would they rather:

1. Send dozens of emails to different stakeholders, onboarding employees one at a time?

2. Or use a streamlined, automated process to handle everything efficiently?

Of course, the latter! Let’s walk through how it works.

The HR manager sets up an Employee Onboarding process for their team. They define key tasks—such as manager input, IT asset allocation, seat assignment, and induction—assigning each task to the relevant stakeholder. (The manager assignment task can be handled dynamically, as not every new hire has the same manager.)

Once the process is created and published, the HR team can seamlessly use it for every new hire, ensuring consistency, efficiency, and minimal manual follow-ups.

Now, an HR team member is assigned the task of onboarding 20 new hires across different teams. They initiate the Employee Onboarding process for each employee.

Once the onboarding process for an employee begins, assigned stakeholders receive notifications, and the task appears in the Process Automation sidebar.

Once the assignee completes a task, the process owner receives a notification. When all tasks are finished, the process is marked as complete, and the process owner is notified.
