Automated Email to Welcome New Employees from HR

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by dchild 19

Hello,

 

We are new to Flow and want to start by creating an automated email to our New Hires welcoming them. This would be generated from the HR Department.

 

Is there anything like this that we can use from a Template?

Or are there any resources that can help us figure out how to start?

 

Thanks,

Denise

    Hi @dchild,

     

    How would you like the flow to be triggered?

    Let’s say HR department will save related info of new hires in SharePoint list, including email addresses.

    Then once a new hire is added to the list, trigger the flow, then send an email to him/her.

    The flow could be created likes below. Before creating the flow, I created a SharePoint list which contains a person or group column.

    Thank you Mabel, that worked!

    I have a few items to work out, like how to format the Welcome text in the body, but the flow immediately sent the email after I updated the list with the email address.
