The problem
Invited to Slack. Missing every conversation.
A new hire gets a Slack invite, joins, and finds a few general channels. The channels their team actually works in get added one by one, whenever someone remembers.
Their first week goes to asking which channels to join. Each admin sends the invite a little differently, so two people on the same team start with different channels.
The outcome
They join in the channels the team already uses
Stepwork sends the Slack invite with the team’s default channels already chosen, so this part of employee onboarding is done before they start. The run records who asked and when the invite went out.
- The invite goes to their work email.
- The team’s default channels are included.
- The onboarding channel is told the invite is pending.
The process
From request to a new hire in the right channels
A teammate posts the new hire’s details in Slack. Stepwork sends the workspace invite with their team’s channels already chosen.
- Step 1
Request it in Slack
A teammate posts the new hire’s work email and team in the onboarding channel. That message starts the flow, and Stepwork records who asked and when.
- Step 2
Start the invite
Stepwork signs in to Slack, opens the invite screen, and enters the new hire’s work email.
- Step 3
Add their team’s channels
Stepwork adds the default channel set for their team, then sends the invite. They land in the right conversations on day one.
- Step 4
Confirm and reply
Stepwork checks that the invite is pending, then posts the result back in the onboarding channel.
Why Stepwork
The channel set travels with the invite
Stepwork opens the invite, enters the work email, adds the team’s default channels, and sends it. A new hire on that team gets those channels, whoever posted the request.
