Automated Pluralsight New Hire Path Tracking

Every Monday, WebRun opens Pluralsight, checks each new starter has the right path and courses assigned, reads how far through each one is, keeps a Trello card per person with the gaps named, and sends the manager a WhatsApp summary of who is behind.

In short

How do I track a new engineer's onboarding learning path?

WebRun opens Pluralsight every Monday and checks each recent starter has the right learning path assigned and how far through it they are. It keeps a Trello card per person showing courses completed and not started, and sends the manager a WhatsApp summary of who has stalled.

  • Ramp up is visible each week instead of assumed
  • A starter with nothing assigned is caught in week one
  • Managers get the summary and new hires are never messaged

Step by step

What does WebRun do on every run?

The exact actions WebRun takes, in order - in plain language, so you can adjust anything.

  1. WebRun signs in and gets to work

    Opens app.pluralsight.com in a real browser with your saved login - no setup, no API keys.

  2. 1
    Pluralsight - check assignments and progress
    pluralsight.com
    WebRun in Pluralsight: check assignments and progress
    WebRun opens Pluralsight to check assignments and progress.
    • Open Pluralsight and find each learner who started in the last few weeks
    • Check the path and courses assigned to them match the role they were hired into
    • Read completion progress per course and note anything not yet started
    • Flag any new starter with no path assigned at all

    Done when Every recent starter has their assignments and progress recorded.

  3. 2
    Trello - keep a card per starter
    trello.com

    • Update the card with courses completed, in progress, and not started
    • Move the card through week one, week two, and week four lists as time passes

    Done when Every starter has a current card showing exactly where their ramp up stands.

  4. 3
    WhatsApp - summarise who is behind

    WebRun opens WhatsApp to summarise who is behind.
    • Send the manager a short summary naming who is on track and who has stalled

Good to know

Questions, answered

Will it message the new hire?

No. The WhatsApp summary goes to the manager only, and the Trello board is internal. Any conversation with the new starter about their progress is one their manager has.

Does it assign courses on its own?

No. WebRun checks whether the right path and courses are assigned and names the gap when they are not. Making the assignment stays with whoever owns onboarding.

How long does it follow a starter?

Through the first weeks you set, with the card moving through week one, week two, and week four lists. After that the card is done and the starter drops off the board.

Put this on autopilot.
