Get New Hires Productive on Day One

Onboarding new team members means gathering documents from five different places. Notis automatically creates an organized onboarding collection in Affinda with every document your new hire needs, organized by role.

Action

Create Collection

Tool to create a new collection. use after you have a valid workspace id and want to group documents by a specific extractor within that workspace.

Why this helps

New hires arrive and you're scrambling to gather employee handbooks, tax forms, IT setup documents, role-specific training materials, and access guides. Everything takes longer than it should, and you inevitably forget something important.

  • Automatically organize all onboarding documents for new hires
  • Customize collections by role and department
  • Reduce onboarding setup time from hours to minutes
  • Ensure no new hire is missing critical documents
  • Create consistent onboarding regardless of who's hiring
  • Get new team members productive on day one

Setup

Build it in a few focused steps.

  • 1Connect Linear and Affinda to Notis.
  • 2Create an automation: 'When a new-hire issue is created in Linear with the team member's name and role, automatically create an onboarding collection in Affinda with documents for IT setup, HR policies, role-specific training, and company procedures.'
  • 3Set the trigger to 'Issue Created' with a label filter for 'new-hire'.
  • 4Choose your notification channel to alert your HR team.
  • 5Test by creating a new-hire issue in Linear with a sample employee's name and role.

Questions about this workflow

What documents should be in an onboarding collection?

Employee handbook, tax forms (W-4, I-9), IT setup guide, role-specific training materials, company policies, access request forms, and emergency contact forms.

Can I customize collections by role?

Absolutely. Tell Notis: 'For engineers, include setup guides and access to code repositories. For sales, include CRM training and territory info.'

How do new hires access their onboarding documents?

Affinda can send a shareable link to the new hire, or you can print/email specific documents from the collection.

What happens if I need to add a document mid-onboarding?

You can add documents directly to the collection in Affinda anytime, or update the Linear issue to trigger Notis to add new documents automatically.
