The Welcome to the team email is an introductory email sent from Greenhouse Onboarding to the new hire after they have been added to the system. In the email, new hires will receive a summary of who their manager is, the team they have joined, and tasks that need their attention.
Greenhouse Onboarding provides a default version of this email but your organization can elect to add new variations. If your organization adds a Welcome to the team email variation, new hires will be sent either a variant Welcome to the team email (based on their filter conditions) or the default Welcome to the team email.
