How do you get an automatic alert 5 days before a contract expires?

In Jestor, the contract management template includes an automation that sends a notification 5 days before each contract's expiration date, warning that it's close to expiring.

How the alert works

Every registered contract has an expiration date stored in the table. An automation monitors that date and, when 5 days remain until expiration, automatically triggers a notification warning the responsible person. Once the expiration date arrives, the contract's status changes to "renewal pending," signaling that it needs to be renewed.

Moment	What happens
5 days before expiration	Automatic notification is sent
Expiration date	Status changes to "renewal pending"

How to track expiration dates

Register the contract along with its expiration date.
The alert automation will already monitor that date automatically.
Use the dashboard's alert panel to see contracts with renewal pending.
