# Set up People Workflows
Set up People Workflows triggered by employee events such as start date, probation end, departure, birthday or work anniversary to automate messages and task assignments
The People Workflow feature in Siit Admin Console is a powerful tool designed to automate and streamline HR and IT processes related to employee events, such as onboarding, end of probation period, offboarding, birthdays, and work anniversaries.\
\
It allows you to personalize and automate communication and task assignments for these events, creating a more efficient and employee-centric experience.
### 1. How can I set up workflow automation in Siit?
To set up workflow automation in Siit and enhance your employee experience, follow these simple steps:
**Access the Workflow:** Log in to your Siit Admin Console and navigate to the Workflow section.
**Define Triggers:** Within the Workflow section, you can select a trigger that will initiate a sequence of actions. For example, you can trigger the workflow based on events like an employee's start date.
**Configure Actions:** Once you've chosen the trigger, configure the actions you want to automate. For instance, you can set Siit to automatically send direct communications via Slack, email, or Teams. You can also define the recipient based on People data, such as the primary employee, their relation (manager, direct reports, teammates), or specific audience groups that can be filtered using audience rules. All this data is derived from the People table in Siit.
**Customize Workflow:** Tailor the workflow to your specific needs. Siit offers the flexibility to add or modify actions to align with your organization's unique requirements.
**Save and Activate 🚀:** After configuring your workflow, save your settings and activate the workflow. Siit will then carry out the defined actions automatically when the trigger event occurs.\
### 2. What are some common use cases for People Workflow in Siit?
People Workflow in Siit can be applied to a variety of HR and IT processes. Here are some common use cases:
**Onboarding:** Automatically send welcome messages, assign necessary access, and schedule introductory meetings for new employees.
**End of Probation Period:** Initiate the process for evaluating and confirming an employee's successful completion of their probation period.
**Offboarding:** Streamline the offboarding process by deactivating accounts, revoking access, and communicating exit procedures.
**Birthday & Work Anniversary:** Celebrate employees' special occasions with automated greetings and recognition.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:
```
GET https://docs.siit.io/guides/workflows/people-workflow.md?ask=&goal=
```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
