What are Onboarding Journeys?
Donut Journeys in the Onboarding category allow you to set up an automated employee onboarding program, giving all your new hires the information they need when they need it, and helping them get to know your team and company better. It also keeps other stakeholders, like managers, in the loop and helps them welcome their new hires better. Learn more about why onboarding matters and how we can help.
How does it work?
Donut automatically sends scheduled messages and polls, makes introductions, and assigns tasks to your new hires, managers, and anyone else involved, all via Slack.
Donut provides an admin platform to manage the onboarding process, where you can set up the automated schedules and content as well as monitor your new hires' progress.

Onboarding Features Explained
Onboarding Journeys help you automate every key step of onboarding, from making targeted introductions to gathering feedback, eliminating the need for you to send constant manual reminders. With Donut Journeys you can:
create a buddy or mentor system
use polls to collect new-hire feedback after one week, 30 days, and 90 days
send nudges to managers before 30/60/90 days reminding them to schedule check-ins with their new hires
create an unlimited amount of fully customizable templates and messages
add roles beyond just buddy and manager (for instance, team-specific mentors, IT, recruiters, etc.)
send important pre-boarding content to managers and other stakeholders before a new hire starts (such as reminders to a manager to set up a new hire's desk)
create role, department, or geo-specific onboarding paths so that, for example, an engineer in London would receive different content than a marketer in NYC
