What it does

Builds the negotiation packet you need before a SaaS contract renews. It pulls contracted seat counts and the trailing-90-day active-user count per app, computes the over-purchase gap, and produces a recommendation on how many seats to drop at renewal, delivered by email to the stakeholders who sign off.

When to use it

In the weeks before a renewal, when you want hard usage evidence to renegotiate seat quantity rather than auto-renewing at last year's count.

How it works

  1. 1A schedule fires when a renewal date is approaching.
  2. 2The flow reads contract terms and active-usage counts from your Airtable license tracker.
  3. 3A logic step computes the gap between contracted and genuinely active seats and a recommended renewal quantity with annual savings.
  4. 4It formats a rightsizing brief per expiring contract.
  5. 5The brief is emailed to IT and finance via Gmail for the renewal decision.
