description Sapling Equipment Provisioning Overview

Sapling Equipment Provisioning is an automated workflow feature within the Sapling HR onboarding platform. It allows human resources and IT departments to coordinate hardware distribution for new employees by integrating with internal IT asset management systems. When a new hire is entered into the system, this feature triggers purchase orders or equipment assignments, ensuring that laptops and necessary hardware are prepared before the employee's start date.

help Sapling Equipment Provisioning FAQ

Can Sapling automatically order a laptop when a new hire is created?

Sapling can trigger an equipment workflow through integrations or automation when a new-hire record reaches the chosen stage. The actual order must be handled by the connected IT service, asset-management platform, procurement system, or a custom API workflow.

What employee data should be sent in a Sapling equipment request?

A practical request includes the employee's name, start date, location, department, manager, role, and approved equipment profile. It should also carry a stable employee or onboarding identifier so the laptop order can be matched back to the correct Sapling record.

How do IT approvals fit into Sapling equipment provisioning?

The automation can create a request first and let IT or procurement approve it before an order is placed. This is important when a MacBook, Windows laptop, security key, or mobile phone requires different budgets and configuration rules.

How do we prevent duplicate laptop orders from Sapling?

Use the new hire's unique ID as an idempotency key and store the resulting ticket or asset-order number in the workflow. The integration should update an existing request when a start date or address changes instead of creating a second order.
