What is a client onboarding automation handoff checklist?

A client onboarding automation handoff checklist is a planning tool that sets out what a new client must provide and know before work begins, who owns each step, and where automation hands over to people. This version is a suggested approach that a business can adapt, drawn from Spaceman Media's educational material.

What should a new client know and provide before work begins?

Before work begins, a new client should know and provide the agreed scope, contacts, required access, important dates and approval responsibilities. Spaceman Media's onboarding guidance treats these five items as the baseline to define up front, and suggests keeping requests proportionate to the project rather than asking for everything at once.

Who should own the onboarding checklist?

One person should own the onboarding checklist, and dependencies between steps should be visible to everyone involved. Spaceman Media's guidance notes that an automated welcome message is not evidence that access or approvals are complete, so a person needs to confirm each item is actually done.

How should a client share access without sending passwords?

A client should share access through appropriate invitation and access-management methods, not by typing passwords into general forms or email threads. Spaceman Media's onboarding guidance recommends this approach and asks that requests stay proportionate to the project. Required access is one of the items defined before work begins.

What should happen when an onboarding step is blocked or unclear?

Reminders should chase outstanding actions, and a human route should exist for blocked or unclear steps. Spaceman Media's guidance suggests automation handle the nudges while people resolve the exceptions, and that unresolved items be recorded explicitly rather than dropped. Requests should stay proportionate to the project so reminders do not become noise.

How should client onboarding end?

Onboarding should end with a shared summary of goals, deliverables, communication rhythm and how progress will be reported, with unresolved items recorded explicitly. Spaceman Media's guidance treats this summary as the handoff point, so the client and the team leave onboarding with the same understanding of what happens next.
