Workflows
Customer health and renewals
Watch the signals around an account before a renewal quietly slips.
4 min read
Renewal risk rarely announces itself. It builds across slower replies, rising support activity and unpaid invoices until the renewal date arrives. This workflow surfaces the account while there is still time to act.
Outcome
Accounts that need attention surface while there is still time to act.
Renewal risk builds quietly across support, billing and communication before anyone notices it.
Systems involved
Connect only what this workflow needs:
Typical connected systems
- CRM
- support
- billing
What starts the workflow
A scheduled review, or a change in a connected customer system.
What Operator understands
Before preparing anything, Operator establishes:
- how the account has been behaving across connected systems
- whether the pattern changed
- how much time is left before the renewal
What Operator prepares
Preparation happens before anything leaves your company. Operator:
- reviews connected customer signals such as sentiment in communication, support activity and invoice or billing status
- flags accounts where the pattern changed
- prepares an outreach draft or an internal note
Good to know
Operator can only combine the signals available in connected systems. Product usage is part of the picture only when a system holding it is connected.
Where approval happens
Which steps stop for a person depends on the approval rules you set. In most workspaces these are the ones worth keeping behind a checkpoint:
- any outreach to the customer
- any change to commercial terms
Approvals are configured per action type rather than as one switch. How approvals work
What changes afterwards
- an owner sees the account, with the evidence attached, before the renewal date
