Onboard new teammates with one Slack message

Tell Zero who's joining and when. It creates their Notion onboarding page, schedules welcome meetings on Google Calendar, posts a Slack intro, and DMs them their first-week agenda.

Why manual onboarding checklists always miss something

A new teammate starts next Monday. Someone needs to create their onboarding doc, schedule intro meetings with 5 people, post a welcome message, and send them a first-week agenda. It's 45 minutes of coordination that happens the same way every time. You tell Zero once and it handles everything.

How to automate new hire onboarding with Zero

@Zero onboard Sarah Chen joining as Product Designer on April 14. Duplicate the Notion onboarding template, schedule week-1 intro meetings with Ethan, Lancy, James, Yuma, and Scarlett on Google Calendar. Schedule a 30-day check-in. Post a welcome to #general and DM Sarah her first-week agenda.

How Zero sets up Notion, Calendar, and Slack for a new teammate

Notion onboarding page created
Zero duplicates your onboarding template in Notion, fills in the new hire's name, role, start date, and manager. Links to relevant docs and team resources.
Meetings scheduled
Zero creates intro meetings with specified teammates on Google Calendar during the first week, plus a 30-day check-in. All calendar invites include context about what to discuss.
Slack welcome and DM sent
Zero posts a welcome message to #general introducing the new hire, then DMs them directly with their first-week agenda, links to their Notion page, and key contacts.

Add access provisioning or customize by role

Customize by role
Different onboarding for different roles
