An employee onboarding portal is a secure space where new hires can log in to access important information, such as welcome materials, training documents, forms, and schedules. It keeps all onboarding communication and resources in one place, so you don’t have to rely on scattered emails or paper packets. This makes it easier to stay organized and ensures a smooth, welcoming experience for every new team member.
Softr makes it easy to create an employee onboarding portal that fits the way your HR team works. You can connect your existing data—like onboarding checklists in Airtable, training records in Notion, or schedules in Google Calendar—and set up a portal where new hires can log in, see their personalized onboarding steps, complete forms, and access resources, all in one place.
You don’t need to code anything. You can start with a template or build from scratch, adjust the layout, decide who sees what, and brand it with your company’s look and feel. It’s quick to launch, easy to update, and flexible enough to grow as your onboarding process evolves. It helps everything stay organized and provides a polished experience for new employees.
You can include a wide range of features in your employee onboarding portal, depending on your onboarding process. Some of the most common ones include:
\- User logins – so each new hire can access their personalized onboarding materials
\- Custom dashboards – to show progress on onboarding tasks, schedules, or upcoming training
\- Forms – for submitting required documents, feedback, or surveys
\- File sharing – so new hires can access handbooks, policies, or training guides
\- Search and filters – to help employees quickly find what they need
\- Tables, lists, and detail views – to display checklists, training modules, or contacts
\- Comments or status updates – for ongoing communication with HR or managers
\- Charts – to visualize progress or completion rates
\- Calendar view – for tracking key dates, meetings, or orientation sessions
\- Permissions and roles – so new hires, HR, and managers only see what they need
Everything is built using Softr’s drag-and-drop blocks, so you can create these features without writing code. And if your onboarding process changes, it’s easy to update the portal at any time.
No coding is required. You can build your employee onboarding portal entirely using Softr’s visual editor. Everything from the layout to user permissions can be customized without writing a single line of code.
Yes. You can manage multiple employees and teams within a single employee onboarding portal. Each user—whether they are a new hire, manager, or HR—only sees the content and data assigned to them, based on their login and role. This is especially helpful for organizations onboarding several employees or managing different departments simultaneously.
Softr supports a wide range of data sources. You can connect your employee onboarding portal to Airtable, Google Sheets, Notion, Coda, monday.com, HubSpot, Clickup, Xano, Supabase, PostgreSQL, MySQL, SQL Server, MariaDB, BigQuery, and more. You can also bring in data from other sources using the REST API.
You’re not limited to just one source. You can integrate multiple data sources into your onboarding portal and display them side by side—so, for example, employee records from Airtable and training checklists from Google Sheets can be shown together. Most data sources support real-time, two-way sync, so your portal and source data always stay up to date.
Yes, Softr gives you full control over how people experience your employee onboarding portal. You can tailor the layout, navigation, and content to fit your company’s brand and onboarding workflow. Each page or section can be shown or hidden based on who’s logged in, so every user—from new hires to HR—sees only what’s relevant to them.
You can also define different user roles, such as employee, manager, or HR admin, and control exactly what each role can view or update. For example, employees may only see their own onboarding tasks, while HR can track all onboarding progress. You can also create personalized dashboards by filtering data according to the logged-in user.
This level of customization is especially useful when onboarding multiple employees or teams at once. It helps keep the experience organized, secure, and tailored to each person’s needs.
Yes, you can. You don’t need to have your onboarding data stored elsewhere to get started with Softr. If you’re starting from scratch, you can use Softr Databases, which is built into the platform and integrates seamlessly with your employee onboarding portal.
If you already have onboarding data in tools like Airtable, Google Sheets, HubSpot, Notion, Coda, monday.com, Supabase, or SQL, you can connect those as well. Plus, the REST API connector lets you bring in data from other sources. Either way, you have full control over how your onboarding data is structured and displayed.
Yes, you can fully white-label your employee onboarding portal in Softr. You can use your own logo, brand colors, fonts, and custom domain to make the portal feel like a seamless part of your organization. You can also remove all Softr branding, so new hires only see your company’s identity throughout their onboarding experience.
Yes, you can. Softr gives you a lot of flexibility to control both the design and layout of your employee onboarding portal. You can adjust colors, fonts, spacing, and page structure to match your company’s identity. You can also choose how each page is organized, decide which blocks go where, and set what different users—like new hires or managers—see when they log in.
To display your onboarding content, you can add different types of blocks depending on your needs:
\- Table blocks – to show structured data like onboarding checklists or training modules
\- List or Card blocks – to highlight things like company policies, benefits, or team directories
\- Detail View – to show specific records, such as an employee’s onboarding status
\- Forms – for information collection or feedback
\- Charts – to show progress or completion rates
\- Calendar blocks – to display training sessions or important onboarding dates
If your content or design needs change later, it’s easy to go back and make updates right in the visual builder.
Softr is built with security in mind. All data is encrypted in transit (TLS) and at rest, and your apps are hosted on secure, reliable infrastructure. Softr apps also give you full control over who can see and do what in your onboarding portal. You can set up role-based permissions, manage users directly within your data source, set visibility rules, and apply global restrictions to protect sensitive employee information across your entire portal.
For apps connected to external data sources like Airtable, Notion, or SQL, Softr doesn’t store your data—it just displays it in real time based on your access settings. You’re always in control of your data and who can view or edit it.
Softr also follows industry best practices for authentication, access control, and platform monitoring to help keep your information safe.
You can get started for free. Softr’s Free plan lets you publish one app with up to 10 app users and 2 user groups, and includes support for all standard data sources like Softr Databases, Airtable, Google Sheets, and more.
If your onboarding portal needs more users or features, here’s how the paid plans stack up: <http://softr.io/pricing>
Softr is built to make it easy to create fully functional, user-facing apps—like employee onboarding portals, internal tools, and HR dashboards—without needing to write code or rely on developers. What sets it apart is how quickly you can go from idea to working portal, and how well it connects with your existing data.
Unlike some no-code tools that focus on mobile apps (like Glide) or are more dev-oriented (like Retool), Softr is designed for non-technical teams who want full control over layout, user experience, and permissions. You can build on top of real-time data from tools like Airtable, Google Sheets, Softr Databases, or SQL, and create secure, branded onboarding experiences that new employees or HR staff can log into.
You can customize everything visually—from content and design to who sees what. And because Softr includes things like user roles, forms, conditional logic, and API support out of the box, you don’t need to patch together multiple tools to launch something polished.
Yes. Softr supports a wide range of integrations so you can connect your onboarding portal to the rest of your HR stack. You can sync with tools like Slack for communication, Google Calendar for scheduling, and automate tasks using Zapier, Make, and N8N. Softr also supports REST API and webhooks for more advanced workflows.
Whether you need to send data to your HRIS, trigger automations based on onboarding steps, or display information from other systems, you can build it into your onboarding portal, without writing code.
