What it does

Before a contract reaches the end of its active term and becomes a purge candidate, this workflow surfaces it to the document owner and captures an explicit renew-or-lapse decision. It stops valuable agreements from being silently retired and keeps the retention queue honest.

When to use it

Use this when expiry and retention are intertwined and you want a human checkpoint: a 60-day heads-up gives owners time to renew before the document drops out of the active set and into the purge pipeline.

How it works

A weekly schedule scans the Airtable register for agreements whose term-end date falls within 60 days. For each match, a Slack message with renew and lapse buttons is sent to the document owner. A logic step interprets the response: renewals update the term-end and retention dates and reset the document's status, while lapses flag the file for the standard retention countdown. Every decision is written back to Airtable for the audit trail.
