Google Workspace User Lifecycle Management

Employee Onboarding & Offboarding Automation for Google Workspace

What is Google Workspace user lifecycle management?
The automated process of provisioning, managing, and deprovisioning employee accounts and access — from HR onboarding (account creation, role assignment, Drive and Calendar access) to offboarding (access revocation, data transfer, device logout, licence reclamation). Zenphi connects Google Forms, Docs, Drive, Calendar, and Gmail into a single auditable workflow.

Zenphi automates the entire user lifecycle in Google Workspace — from HR onboarding workflows across Forms, Docs, Drive, and Calendar, to secure offboarding and access revocation. Save time, reduce risk, and increase efficiency with no-code automation.

Number of flows

Number of flow runs/month

100
100
1000
The frequency at which each process (flow) is executed monthly. For example, if your organization processes 1000 invoices each month, the Invoice Processing flow runs 1000 times. Similarly, if you conduct an Externally Shared Files Audit daily, this flow runs 30 times in a month.

Your Savings

Total savings per month ($USD)

(15*[flow]*[runs]/60*[rate])-599

Payback period (days)

599/[savings]*22
* The ROI is calculated based on Zenphi’s Pro plan at $599 per month. It is estimated that each automated operation saves at least 15 minutes for an employee who would otherwise perform the task manually. This baseline of time savings helps project cost reductions; if automation saves more than 15 minutes per operation, your savings will be even greater.
