How to set up an automation that defines the commission payment deadline after client activation?

In Jestor, you can configure an automation field that automatically adds a deadline — for example, one week — to the date the client was activated, generating the due date for that salesperson's commission payment.

Why automate the commission payment deadline?

Manually setting the due date for each salesperson's commission, one by one, is a repetitive process prone to being forgotten. By automating that calculation from the client's activation date, the payments center is born with standardized deadlines, without depending on anyone remembering to fill in the field.

How to set up this automation in Jestor?

In the sales flow, identify the field that marks the client's activation date (Go Live).
Create an automation field that adds the desired deadline to that date.
That new field feeds the due date visible in the commission payments center.
Records with an overdue due date are automatically highlighted on the panel.
