The problem

Onboarding checklists are executed inconsistently and offboarding is worse — accounts stay live and data walks out with people.

How it works

  1. Trigger from the HR record rather than an email request.
  2. Create or suspend the account, set groups, provision or transfer Drive.
  3. Set forwarding or delegation on the mailbox during handover.
  4. Log every step for the audit trail.

What changes

Consistent onboarding and offboarding that actually completes.

The trap in this one. Offboarding is where automation earns its keep and where mistakes are most costly. Make destructive steps require confirmation, and never delete before a verified transfer.

Questions people ask

Can it handle contractors with limited access?

Yes — different templates per role, with scoped group membership rather than ad-hoc sharing.

Want this built?

This is a pattern we run in production. We will set up the delegation and build this on top of it — $500 per hour, most of it working the same day.
