Configure welcome to the team delivery schedule

Permissions: Coordinators and Owners

Product tier: Available for Greenhouse Welcome and Greenhouse Onboarding subscription tiers

The Welcome to the Team email is an introductory email sent from Greenhouse Onboarding to the New Hire after they have been added into the system. In the email, New Hires will receive a summary of who their manager is, the team they have joined, and the tasks that need their attention.

By default, the Welcome to the Team! email is delivered two days prior to a New Hire's start date, but it can be configured to suit your organization's onboarding flow.

For more information on how to keep the welcome email from being sent entirely, click here.

Note: The configured delivery schedule will apply to both the default Welcome to the Team email and any additional Welcome to the Team! templates your organization creates.

On Start Date delivery schedule

To set a delivery schedule for a New Hire's start date, select On Start Date from the Send email to new hire dropdown menu.
