A person confirms the irreversible ones
Put an approval step before access is removed or anything reaches an employee. The run waits, and carries on once someone approves or rejects it.
People Ops
Day-one ready. No loose ends.
Lodol runs the work around every hire and every departure, across BambooHR, Okta, Slack, Gmail and the rest of your stack, while your HR system stays exactly where it is. The steps that matter wait for a person.
Free to start, no credit card. Not priced per employee, and every plan has unlimited seats.

Fits your stack
Keep your HR system. Lodol runs what's around it.
No migration and no new system for employees to learn. Lodol picks the work up where it starts and finishes it in the tools your team, IT and managers already use.
Someone's hired
A new hire in your HR system or ATS starts the work, with nothing typed twice.
Accounts get set up
Accounts, groups and the laptop request, ready before day one.
People get told
A welcome email, calendar invites and a hello in the team channel.
Paperwork gets done
Policies sent for signature, acknowledgements collected, reminders until done.
Someone leaves
Access removed and sessions ended, once a person confirms.
940 apps and 11,056 actions in all, and a workflow can call any other tool’s API directly, so nothing has to move for Lodol to fit in.

Open this workflow
On new emailParse emailed CVs into a talent sheet
Reads each job application that lands in Gmail, adds the candidate's details as a row in your Google Sheet and tells your team in Slack.
Told to extract, not judge. It never records age, gender, ethnicity or anything unrelated to the work.
Open this workflowDailyPrepare screening notes for applicants
Reads new applications each day and writes preparation notes against your role brief for a person to review.
Never recommends hiring, rejecting or ranking anyone. It says what isn't evidenced rather than inferring it.

No writing step: every word comes from the CV. Date of birth, nationality and photos never come across.

In control
The sensitive steps wait for a person.
Removing someone's access, sending an offer, changing a record: any step can stop and wait for the person who owns it. Every run is on the record.
Roll back to what worked
Every edit is a version. Open any one to see what changed, and restore it in a click.
Decide who can do what
Owner, admin or member, per person, so the workflows that touch personal data are edited only by the people who should.
See exactly what happened
Every run is traced step by step, so when someone asks whether a leaver's access was removed, and when, the answer is on the record.
Questions people teams ask first
No. Lodol works alongside the HR system you have. BambooHR and Zoho People are built in, from new hires and changed employees to time off, and so are Workable and Zoho Recruit for hiring. Payroll and HR data from many other systems can be read through Finch, and anything with an API can be reached with a Call an API step.
Yes, in Okta and Microsoft Entra ID: create users, add them to groups, deactivate them and end their sessions. If Okta already provisions accounts from BambooHR, keep that, and use Lodol for everything around it: the approvals, the IT ticket, the emails and the calendar invites.
No. The recruiting templates are built to extract, not judge: they never recommend hiring, rejecting or ranking anyone, and never record age, gender, ethnicity or anything unrelated to the work. Decisions stay with people. Check your local rules on automated hiring tools before you automate any screening.
When you decide. A workflow can run on each person's last day at the time you set, ask the right person to confirm, then remove their access in Okta or Microsoft Entra ID and tell IT. If your identity provider already removes access on its own, keep that, and let Lodol run the steps around it.
Credentials are encrypted in transit and at rest. Roles decide who can run, edit and manage each workflow, so the ones that touch personal data are changed only by the people who should, and every run is recorded step by step. AI steps run on your own model key, under your provider's terms.
Not per employee. Free includes 200 runs a month. Builder starts at $18 a month for 2,500 runs and Pro at $120 for 10,000, and every plan has unlimited seats. A run counts once, however many steps it takes. Pro adds advanced permissions and an activity audit log you can export.
