The problem
Access depends on whoever owns each base.
New hires wait on base owners to invite them, often in different workspaces with different permission levels. Day one becomes a scavenger hunt for the tables their team uses.
Handed out this way, two people in the same role rarely get the same access. Someone always misses a workspace.
The outcome
Consistent base access on day one
Stepwork invites the collaborator to the standard workspaces for their team with the permission level from the request. They can open the right bases on day one, and the run records who asked and which workspaces were added.
- The invite uses the email and permission from the request.
- Each named workspace is included.
- A workspace that does not exist stops the run.
The process
From Slack request to ready Airtable access
A teammate posts the new hire’s details in Slack. Stepwork invites them to the named workspaces, in the same order every time.
- Step 1
Request it in Slack
A teammate posts the new hire’s work email, permission level, and workspaces in the onboarding channel. That message starts the flow, and Stepwork records who asked and when.
- Step 2
Open workspace sharing
Stepwork signs in to Airtable and opens sharing for the first workspace in the request.
- Step 3
Invite to each workspace
Stepwork invites the collaborator to each named workspace with the permission level from the request.
- Step 4
Confirm and reply in Slack
Stepwork checks the invites against the request, then posts the result back in the onboarding channel.
Why Stepwork
The same role gets the same workspaces
Stepwork runs the invite path you recorded. Permission and workspaces come from the request, not from whoever happens to own each base.
