Onboarding workflows
Onboarding email alerts and tasks only fire off standard tabs, so anything you've customised — equipment lists, country-specific compliance, contractor flows — has to be tracked outside the tool.
What people actually say
✕Onboarding and offboarding email alerts and notifications pull data only from standard tabs and tables; data stored in custom tables makes the built-in alerts useless.

Onboarding becomes a typed workflow in Inngest: each new hire kicks off a directed graph of tasks that branches on country, employment type and department, with steps that hit your IT provider's API, send a signed offer via DocuSeal or Dropbox Sign, and create accounts in Google Workspace or Microsoft 365 directly. Email alerts read every field you store, custom or otherwise, and external collaborators get scoped, link-based access without a BambooHR seat.
