How to receive an automatic alert a few days before a contract expires?

Jestor has a native automation that automatically sends a notification five days before a contract's expiration date, warning that it's about to expire and needs renewal.

Why does an early alert matter in contract management?

Without an early warning, contracts tend to be remembered only once they've already expired, which delays renewals and can create operational or legal issues. An alert a few days ahead gives you time to negotiate the renewal calmly.

How does Jestor's expiration alert work?

Every contract has a registered expiration date, usually read automatically via OCR when the file is uploaded.
A native automation monitors that date and fires a notification five days before it expires.
Once the expiration date arrives, the contract's status automatically changes to pending renewal.
All contracts in that situation are listed on the dashboard, along with the app's expiration calendar.

Why choose Jestor?

Beyond the expiration alert, Jestor uses its AI-powered attachment reader (OCR) to automatically fill in the value, dates, and parties of a contract as soon as the file is uploaded, cutting down on manual entry work.
