A few uses for this workflow:

• HR: Share key info and resources when new hires join their team channel
• Project Managers: Share pinned docs when someone joins your project channel
• Sales: Link people supporting you on a deal to key resources upon joining your account channel
• External: Inform someone that the channel they joined has individual guests
• Account Managers: Onboard new customers into shared channel

With this workflow, a direct message with information of your choosing is automatically sent to anyone who joins a selected channel.

2. Navigate to Workflow Builder and select “Import”
3. Once imported, edit the workflow to make sense for your team
4. Publish and let everyone know about your masterpiece

2. When someone new joins the channel, the workflow automatically sends them a direct message.
