Employee onboarding is a long process in which a newly hired employee integrates into that organization. Integration includes completing the initial new-hire orientation process and understanding the organization and structure, culture, vision, mission, and values of it. From the time an offer is released, the onboarding process will start. Then employees have to go through:
- Offer Acceptance
- Waiting period
- The day of joining

Steps in employee pre-boarding automation
After signing the offer letter, the employee will receive a welcoming email with a link to access the pre-boarding portal. This portal can access through a mobile phone, computer, or tablet.
Step 1. Enter the app, where you will get a complete view of your pre-boarding tasks with their start date, due date, and completion date. The app sends reminders to complete the tasks before the deadline.
You can upload your ID, create a profile, and build a desk. The app saves your progress in every step using the UiPath path data service, so you can come back and resume. By finishing the pre-boarding task, the app congratulates you and invites you to connect with the company’s social media.
You no longer have to check your email to get the start date, due date, offer letter, and more, as everything is in one place.
Step 2. Click on the Timeline tab to know the upcoming events. The timeline includes estimated delivery dates for your welcome package and equipment ordered during pre-boarding.
Step 3. Click the track to check the status of your package without leaving the app.
This app uses an API connection with FedEx created using UiPath’s new connector builder for integration service. This service unlocks the power to connect with any application through an API directly from apps without having to call a robot.
