Automate new member tracking

Why this helps
New hires join but get lost in the shuffle. You forget who's still onboarding, what they need to complete, and deadlines slip.
- No one forgotten or lost in onboarding
- Clear visibility into who needs what
- Faster time-to-productivity for new members
- Easy to track onboarding metrics
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Telegram and Google Sheets to Notis and ensure your bot is admin in the group.
- 2Create an automation: 'When a new member joins this Telegram group, add them to my onboarding tracker with their name, join date, and a standard onboarding checklist (orientation call, docs access, project assignment, etc.).'
- 3Set 'Telegram - New Chat Member' as the trigger.
- 4Have someone join your test Telegram group and verify they appear in the onboarding tracker immediately with all checklist items.
Questions about this workflow
Can I customize the onboarding checklist per role?
Yes. Tell Notis to check the new member's intro or role and assign a custom checklist (Engineer onboarding differs from Marketing, etc.).
How do I track completion?
Use a Checklist column in Google Sheets, or set up Telegram buttons so you can mark items complete from chat.
What about tracking timezone or location?
Notis can prompt for and extract onboarding details, storing them in separate columns for easy sorting and reporting.
