# Add your first Employee

Now that you have a Workflow, let's move on to adding an Employee to Introist.

{% hint style="info" %}
If you have an HR-system or Applicant Tracking System, Introist can pull all the relevant information from there so you don't need to add Employees manually.\
It might still make sense to manually create a single Employee for testing purposes.
{% endhint %}

### Create Employee

To add a new employee, start by navigating to the "Employees". Click on the "New employee" button to begin the process of entering employee information. In the form that appears, fill in the details of the new employee. Not all fields have to be completed immediately—only the ones marked with an asterisk are required at this stage. After entering the necessary information, click the "Save" button to create the new employee record.

{% hint style="info" %}
Fields that you see when creating an Employee depends on the **Employee Fields** in your workspace.
{% endhint %}

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.introist.com/knowledge-base/start/getting-started/add-your-first-employee.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
