Automated StrongVPN New Hire Setup Checklist

Every morning, WebRun opens StrongVPN, checks which new employees haven't installed or activated their VPN client, logs a setup checklist to Notion for each, and exports the current activation status to Google Sheets.

In short

How do I make sure new hires activate StrongVPN on day one?

WebRun checks StrongVPN every morning for new employees who haven't installed or activated their client within 2 days, logs a setup checklist item to Notion, and exports the current activation status to Google Sheets. It never installs software itself, so setup stays the employee's own step.

  • New hires get connected within 2 days, not weeks
  • IT sees every unactivated client in one exported sheet
  • WebRun never installs or activates software on an employee's device

Questions, answered

Will WebRun install or activate the VPN client for the employee?

No. WebRun never installs software or activates a client. It only tracks who hasn't finished setup and logs a checklist item.

How long before an unactivated employee is flagged?

2 days after they are added to StrongVPN without activating their client, giving normal onboarding time before it becomes a checklist item.

Does WebRun see what an employee does on the VPN?

No. It only reads whether the client is activated. It never reads browsing activity or connection destinations.
