Recurring Maintenance Agreement Management

Q: Can the automation handle partial payments or payment plan requests?

The automation tracks payment status automatically but flags exceptions like partial payments or declined transactions for manual review. Your team can then contact the customer to arrange a payment plan.

Q: How does the system identify customers at risk of churn?

Customers who do not respond to renewal notices within 14 days or who explicitly decline renewal are automatically flagged in your CRM and an alert is sent to your operations manager for sales follow-up.

Q: Will the automation work with our existing spreadsheet and CRM setup?

Yes, the automation integrates with Google Sheets, HubSpot, Gmail, and Stripe. It reads contract data from your spreadsheet or CRM, sends emails through Gmail, and checks payment status in Stripe.

Q: What happens if a customer responds to a renewal notice but does not pay immediately?

The automation logs the customer's response and continues to monitor for payment. If payment is not received within the follow-up period, a reminder is sent automatically and the customer is flagged for manual outreach.

Keep every maintenance agreement current, scheduled, and invoiced without chasing spreadsheets or missed renewal dates.

How The Automation Works

The full workflow, from trigger to completion.

1. Daily Contract Review Triggertrigger

The automation runs daily at 6 AM to scan all active contracts in the master database and identify those expiring within 30 days or with overdue payments.

2. Fetch Contract and Customer Data

The automation retrieves contract details, customer contact information, and payment history and in a single batch query.

3. Evaluate Renewal Eligibility

The automation reviews each contract to confirm the customer is active, contact details are valid, and no recent renewal notice has been sent. Contracts flagged for issues are logged separately.

4. Send Renewal Notice via Email

For eligible contracts, a personalised renewal email is generated and sent automatically, including contract terms, renewal date, and a payment link.

5. Check Payment Status

The automation queries to confirm whether payment has been received within 7 days of the renewal notice. Paid contracts are marked as renewed; unpaid contracts trigger a follow-up sequence.

6. Send Follow-Up Reminder or Alert

If payment is not received after 7 days, a follow-up email is sent automatically. If payment is still pending after 14 days, a alert is sent to the operations manager for manual intervention.

7. Update Contract Records

Once payment is confirmed or the customer declines, contract status, renewal date, and next payment due date are updated automatically and.

8. Flag Churn Risk

Customers who do not renew or do not respond after 14 days are automatically tagged as churn risk, triggering a sales team workflow.
