How The Automation Works

The full workflow, from trigger to completion.

1. Daily Contract Expiry Checktrigger

The automation runs daily at 8 AM to scan the contract master list and identify contracts within 90, 60, and 30 days of expiry.

2. Filter Contracts Needing Action

The automation reviews each flagged contract and checks to confirm no extension opportunity has already been created. Contracts with existing renewal records are skipped.

3. Generate Renewal Email

For contracts without an active extension record, the automation generates a personalized renewal reminder email using contract data and client details.

4. Send Email

The automation sends the renewal reminder email to the primary client contact and CCs the assigned account manager and sales lead.

5. Create CRM Task

A task is automatically created linked to the client contact, documenting the renewal reminder sent and setting a follow-up date 14 days later.

6. Post Notification

A summary message is posted to a designated channel listing all contracts for which renewal reminders were sent, allowing the team to track progress in real time.
