About This Automation

Provisioning platform and ad account access for new hires is a manual, error-prone process that ties up operations staff for hours per hire. Multiple systems require separate logins, role configurations, and credential delivery, often spanning several days.

Automation orchestrates account creation across all platforms based on role-based rules, delivers credentials in a single formatted email, and logs every action for audit compliance. New hires gain access on day one instead of waiting days for manual setup.

Key features:
Create accounts automatically across email, advertising, and CRM platforms based on role and department
Apply role-based access rules consistently to eliminate permission errors and rework
Compile and deliver all credentials and login links in a single formatted email
Log every provisioning action for audit trails and compliance reporting
Notify managers when new hires are ready to start work
