Instead of manually emailing new employees each week during their first 30 days, set up Mailchimp to send a timed sequence that starts the day they join. Each email covers a different topic—company culture, benefits enrollment, key contacts, 30-day goals—and includes links to documents they need. BambooHR triggers the sequence start so HR does nothing after the initial setup.

Step 1: Write 4-6 onboarding email templates in Mailchimp covering: welcome, safety policies, payroll setup, tools and software, 30-day expectations, and manager intro.
Step 2: Build a Mailchimp Customer Journey that triggers the sequence when a contact is added to an 'Onboarding' audience with timed delays (Day 1, Day 7, Day 14, Day 21, Day 30).
Step 3: In Make, create a scenario triggered when BambooHR marks an employee as 'Active' that adds the new hire's work email to the Mailchimp 'Onboarding' audience.
Step 4: Test the full sequence with a test email address and confirm timing and content look correct.

See PlansMailchimp is best for small business owners who want to send email and SMS campaigns without needing a marketing team. You get a drag-and-drop email builder, ready-made templates, and automated messages that go out on their own — like welcome emails or abandoned cart reminders. It connects with tools you already use, like Shopify, QuickBooks, and Canva. Whether you run a retail shop, a service business, or a nonprofit, Mailchimp gives you the data to see what's working and adjust fast.
BambooHR is best for small and mid-sized businesses with 25 to 500 employees that need one place to handle all their HR work. It brings hiring, onboarding, employee records, time off, payroll, and performance reviews into a single platform. You can stop juggling spreadsheets and separate tools — everything your team needs is in one spot. It's especially useful if you have a small HR team (or just one person) trying to do a lot with limited time.
