Announce new hires in Slack with AI-drafted posts

An Orkeste agent pulls new-hire info from your HRIS, drafts a warm, on-brand announcement post for #general or a team channel, and queues it for HR to review before publishing in Slack.

How the workflow runs

1. New hire detected: Agent reads the new start from your HRIS or hiring tracker.
2. Draft announcement: Generates an on-brand Slack post with role, team, fun fact if shared.
3. HR reviews and edits: HR previews the post, edits tone and content, then approves.
4. Post to Slack: Publishes to the right channel at the scheduled time on start day.
5. Surface welcomes: Aggregates emoji reactions and welcome replies for the new hire.

Human-in-the-loop: Every announcement is HR-approved before posting; nothing about a real person is published without a human read.

Questions about this workflow

Can hires opt out of being announced?

Yes. Opt-out is honored from the HRIS field; the agent will not draft an announcement if opted out.

Does it pick the right channel?

Yes. Channel selection follows the new hire's team and location, configurable per org.

Can it include a photo?

Yes, when the photo is in the HRIS and the hire has consented. HR can remove it during review.
