In short

How do I track new hire onboarding before their start date?

Every morning WebRun signs into G-P, lists the new hires with a start date approaching, and checks which onboarding steps and contract documents are still open. It posts the blocked hires to Slack and drafts a Gmail nudge for whoever owns each step, so nobody misses their start date.

  • Hires at risk of missing a start date surface daily
  • Every open step names its owner
  • Nudges are drafted, never sent without a human

What does WebRun do on every run?

    • Compose a short nudge to the owner of each open step, naming the hire and the deadline

Good to know

Questions, answered

Will it email the new hire or the step owner directly?

No. Every nudge is left as a Gmail draft for a person to review and send. WebRun never emails a new hire, a manager, or a country contact on its own.

Does it change anything in G-P?

No. WebRun reads onboarding status and contract steps and reports on them. It never marks a task complete, uploads a document, or edits an employment record.

How far ahead does it look?

As far as you set, commonly 30 days. Hires outside that window stay off the list, so the daily post shows only the people whose start date is genuinely at risk.

Put this on autopilot.
