How it works
What happens on each run, in plain English.
Onboarding tasks get missed when they depend on someone remembering. When a row is added to your New Hires sheet, this creates three Asana tasks with due dates counted in working days from the person's start date: a kickoff call after 2, IT setup after 5 and benefits enrollment after 10.
It then emails the new hire's manager so they know the tasks exist. Your sheet needs columns named Name, Start date (written 2026-11-30) and Manager email.
