Create weekly Salesforce upcoming Renewal notifications with Slack
This is a 'Workflow' template which means that it is a single standalone workflow.
Some workflow templates can be modified to work with other workflow templates - e.g. to convert a data sync between two services from uni-directional to bi-directional
OverviewCopy
Account Managers / Customer Service Managers need to be kept up to date about when their respective accounts are due for renewal. Having an advance warning system that notifies them when their various account deadlines are approaching is extremely useful.
By forewarning the A / CSM's they are able to respond in due course and focus their efforts on account health and customer relationships instead of worrying about deadlines.
Each week this workflow sends a list of all upcoming renewal contracts within a set time period via Slack.
A scheduled trigger is kicked off once a week and the workflow collects all opportunities that have a renewal date within within the next four weeks. This list contains the names, due dates, and internal owners of each upcoming renewal contract. Once collected the list is then sent to Slack.
