Introist is the HR team’s scheduling and messaging assistant. We eliminate the hassle of scheduling internal meetings, such as onboarding and 1:1s, by checking attendees’ availability and automatically scheduling important meetings when people are free.
On top of that, we deliver helpful and well-timed messages from key people via email or Slack, so that each experience around key employee moments is personalised but consistent.
All scheduling and messaging steps are built into multi-step workflows that are easy to create, track and improve.
