Employee onboarding, automated

The problem

Onboarding a new employee meant the same manual sequence every time: create the directory account, raise a ticket, set permissions by role, add them to the right channels, and tell the manager it was done. It was repetitive, easy to get wrong, and always urgent.

What we built

A single form submission triggers an n8n workflow. An AI agent reads the request and works through the tools it has been given access to — Microsoft Entra ID for the directory account, Jira for the tracking ticket — with Postgres-backed memory so context carries across steps. A conditional branch handles managers differently from staff, then Slack invites them to the right channels and updates their profile.

The result

• One form replaces a multi-tool manual checklist
• Role-based access applied consistently, not from memory
• Every run leaves an audit trail of what was done
