An ops assistant for your inbox
ForwardThis for HR teams
HR teams run on email. Signed offers, interview confirmations, right-to-work documents, sick day messages, training certificates: they all land in your inbox, and they all need actioning. ForwardThis actions them for you. Forward the email, add some simple instructions, and it does the work in the apps you already use.

The emails HR teams deal with every day
ForwardThis takes on the repetitive tasks you would normally delegate, or switch between apps to deal with yourself. Each one of these can be actioned from a single forwarded email.
A signed offer letter
“File this under People/New Starters and add the start date to the Onboarding sheet.”
The offer is filed and the start date is on the sheet, so onboarding begins on time.
A candidate confirming interview times
“Book the interview for Tuesday at 2pm with a video link.”
The interview sits in your calendar, with the candidate's email attached to the invite.
Right-to-work documents
“File these under People/Amara Diallo/Right to Work.”
The documents are filed in the person's folder, ready for the next audit.
A training certificate
“File this under Training/Fire Safety and put the renewal in my calendar for next June.”
The certificate is filed, and the renewal appears in your calendar before it lapses.
A contractor agreement to send out
“Send our contractor agreement to the new contractor for signature.”
You approve the send first, and the agreement goes out for signature once you say yes.
A sick day email
“Log this on the Absence sheet as sick leave from today.”
The absence becomes a row on the sheet, so the record is right without chasing anyone.
An unsigned policy acknowledgement
“Send Priya a reminder to sign the handbook acknowledgement.”
One person gets one nudge, and the confirmation tells you it went.
News the whole team needs
“Post this in #announcements.”
The message posts to the channel once you have approved the words.

Workflows HR teams use
FAQs
- How do HR teams use ForwardThis?
- By forwarding the emails that carry work in them. A signed offer gets filed in the person's folder. An interview lands in the calendar. A contractor agreement goes out for signature once you approve the send. A sick day email becomes a row on the absence sheet. Each one can be actioned from a single forwarded email.
- Does it work with the tools an HR team already uses?
- Yes. It works with BambooHR, Personio, Gusto, Deel, Greenhouse, Google Calendar, Google Drive, Google Sheets, Slack, Docusign and 145+ other apps. Each app takes one click to connect, and once connected it stays connected.
- What can it do in BambooHR or Personio?
- It can look up a colleague's details and check who is out, so a forwarded question gets its answer from the HR system. Records and payroll stay in the HR system itself. Around it, ForwardThis covers the paperwork: filing, calendars, sheets, signatures and announcements.
- Can it chase everyone who has not signed a policy?
- It chases one person at a time. Ask it to remind a named person and Docusign sends that one reminder, with a confirmation back to you. It does not send bulk chasers to a list, so nobody gets nudged without you asking for it.
- Can my team use it too?
- We're working hard on getting our team plan ready to launch. If you'd like to use ForwardThis for your team, please email us for more information.
- What happens to emails with employee details in them?
- Your email is processed securely and used only to carry out your instructions. ForwardThis keeps it just long enough for you to press undo, then deletes it completely. Nothing is stored long term.
