How to send notify or show notify when contract is about to expire

[khovaidai]

Hello,

I signed contract with my Customer
One year from the date of signing, I want SuiteCRM notify to Sales Director and Sales Staff for re-signing with Customer. How to do that ?

Thanks

I can think of two easy things that you can do out of the box without any coding:

1. Report
   You can use the Reports module to create a report of all contracts about to expire in the next X days.
   Once you have this report you can convert it into a dashlet and display this dashlet on the home page of who needs to see this information.

2. Workflow
   You can use the Workflow module to send a notification email to who you want for each contract that is about to expire

Condition for both solutions:
You need to have a field with the expiration date. This field must be properly updated.
In case this field does not exist you may create it from Admin->Studio and then fill its value for each contract.

Other two solutions (but these require coding):

3. Logic Hook or Sheduler
   You can write a Custom Logic Hook or a Custom Scheduler to achieve your objective. However these two options require a deeper knowledge of how SuiteCRm is programmed as well as programming skills, On the other hand, these solutions give you a lot more flexibility and the possibility to do more things.

How to do it?
If you search the forum orusing Google you will find plenty of examples for all 4 possible solutions. Then ask here for support once you have at least started.

Whatever you decide to do, if you post here your final working solution is a always welcome so that others can benefit from your experience.
