You can capture new employees by api and send a message, for example, with a Zapier.com task that polls added employees and sends an email with gmail. You may have a Payroll system where you can add the employee automatically, as long as said Payroll system has the API features needed. For the most part, the Payroll industry is behind the times on API’s, but things will improve in the future.

An assumption is made that the average business is not adding employees at a rate of more than three per 15 minutes. Also, you can pay for a more premium plan at Zapier.com and get five minute polling. Also, you could implement your own polling and recognition server and check once every minute. Even another consideration here is that we will be adding webhooks as a means of notification for new employees, which is more efficient and eliminates the possibility that a new employee would be missed.

Zapier can be set to poll every 15 minutes, and will ignore the data until a new employee number hits the top of the list.
