Post new hire onboarding briefs in Discord
Give a new teammate a clear start before the first day arrives.
Trigger
New Outlook Message
Triggered when a new message is received in the Outlook mailbox.
Action
Post message to channel
Sends a message to a specified discord channel (text, embeds, stickers, components, attachments); requires `send messages` permission and one of `content`, `embeds`, `sticker ids`, or `attachments`.
Why this helps
Onboarding details are scattered across email and easy for busy teams to miss.
- Make first steps visible
- Clarify onboarding ownership
- Reduce repeated questions
