What is Onboarding Automation?

Onboarding Automation is an AI agent that operates directly in Microsoft Teams and provides new employees with answers, documents, and guidance at any time. It uses existing SharePoint and intranet content, reacts proactively on day one, and supports new colleagues throughout their first weeks. PromptingBirds implements the solution end-to-end — secure, privacy-compliant, and ready for everyday use.

FAQs

1
What does Automated IT Onboarding deliver?
It ensures new employees are fully productive from minute one. IT teams gain time because no manual setup steps remain. Processes become more consistent, secure and easier to audit. The organisation benefits from clear, measurable improvements.
2
How is the workflow triggered?
The automation starts as soon as HR submits a new-hire form or the HR system marks a candidate as “hired”. All data is validated, and the user is created automatically. IT only steps in when required.
3
Which systems are supported?
The workflow integrates with Microsoft Entra ID, Microsoft 365 and common HR systems. Alternatively, a Microsoft Form or SharePoint list can be used. PromptingBirds ensures a secure and robust implementation.
4
What happens when something goes wrong?
If data is missing or a username already exists, the automation stops safely. IT receives an alert to clarify the issue. No incorrect accounts are created, and no data is overwritten.
5
How are passwords delivered securely?
Credentials are sent in encrypted form to the hiring manager or employee. No paper notes or insecure channels are used. All steps are logged.
6
How much work does this save?
Around four hours per new employee — including setup, coordination and corrections. With multiple hires per year, the time savings become significant.
7
Can the workflow be customised?
Yes. Roles, permission sets and license bundles can be adapted to your organisation. PromptingBirds supports ongoing adjustments and scaling.
8
How secure is the solution?
The workflow follows GDPR requirements and enforces strict role-based access. Every action is logged for transparency. No sensitive information is shared manually.
9
Does it work for global teams?
Yes, as long as systems are centrally administered. Region-specific roles and license models can be integrated seamlessly.
10
How long does implementation take?
Depending on data quality and role models, a few days to several weeks. PromptingBirds handles design, development, testing and rollout.
