The moment HR marks a new employee as 'Active' in BambooHR, an Asana project is automatically created from a template with every onboarding task already assigned and due-dated. An email goes to the manager, IT, and the new hire with links to their tasks. Nobody has to copy a checklist or send individual emails—everything is done before the new hire's first day.

Step 1: Build an Asana onboarding template project with tasks for IT setup, HR paperwork, manager intro, and tool access—each pre-assigned by role.
Step 2: In Make, create a scenario triggered when a BambooHR employee status changes to 'Active'.
Step 3: Make duplicates the Asana template project, names it after the new hire, and sets all due dates relative to the start date.
Step 4: Make sends a Gmail summary to the hiring manager, IT contact, and new hire with a link to the Asana project.
Step 5: Test with a sandbox BambooHR record and verify all Asana tasks appear with correct dates and assignees.
