Renewal and expiration alerts for client contracts

Purpose

1.1. Automate identification of contract renewal and expiration dates for all client accounts to ensure timely notifications, legal compliance, and uninterrupted service delivery.
1.2. Automatedly monitor contract duration, status, and renewal clauses for proactive account management.
1.3. Automate workflows that flag pending expirations and drive renewal offer generation, minimizing manual risk, error, and oversight.
1.4. Automate escalation to account managers and clients for contracts nearing expiration utilizing multi-channel communications and rules-based reminders.
1.5. Ensure automatable documentation and audit trail of every notification and renewal interaction for regulatory or client-initiated audits.

Trigger Conditions

2.1. Contract expiration/renewal date approaches within X days (e.g. 90/60/30/7-day windows).
2.2. Automated contract status changes (e.g. "active" to "expiring soon").
2.3. Contract amendment or cancellation triggers automated reassessment of renewal timeline.
2.4. Automated update or upload of new client agreement in records management platform.
2.5. Inactivity/absence of renewal response or manual override triggers automated alert escalation.
