Notion Onboarding Checklist with Auto-Reminders
Track new employee onboarding in one place with zero manual follow-ups.
Nora creates a Notion database for new hires with personalized onboarding tasks, sends reminders to assignees, and celebrates completion.
When a new employee joins, Nora creates a database entry in Notion with custom tasks based on their role (engineering, sales, support, etc.). Each task has an owner, due date, and description. Nora sends reminders to task owners the day before and day-of, marks tasks complete when mentioned in Slack or updated in Notion, and escalates overdue tasks to the manager. When onboarding is 100% complete, Nora celebrates in Slack ("Welcome aboard, Sarah!") and archives the entry. The database becomes an auditable record of onboarding completion. Every new hire follows the same sequence, and a stalled step is visible to the manager the day it stalls.
Runs triggered when new employee is added using Notion and Slack, run by your HR Manager.
