Reminder for Contract Approaching Deadline

✅ Send me an email when a contract is 7 days away from expiring.

💡 Use Case

You want to be notified in advance when a contract is approaching its Target End Date, so you have time to take action (renew, close, escalate, etc.).

🛠️ How to Set Up the Automation Rule

Step 1: Open Automation Settings

Go to your Jira project where contracts are managed.
Navigate to Project Settings → Automation
Click Create Rule

Step 2: Add the Trigger

Choose Scheduled as the trigger type.
Set it to run daily (e.g., every morning at 12 PM).
Specify the time at which the reminder will be dispatched.
Check ✅ “Run a JQL search and execute actions for each issue.”

Step 3: Enter JQL Condition

Use the following JQL to target contracts expiring in the next 7 days:

issuetype = Contract Issue Type AND "Target end" >= now() AND "Target end" <= startOfDay("+7d") AND status != Done

✔️ What this does:

In the JQL query, make sure to use the issue type you’ve set as Contract Issue Type in the Pact Configuration.

Whose Target End Date is between today and the next 7 days
That are not yet marked as done/closed

Step 4: Add an Action – Send Email

Add the “Send Email” action.

Please populate the email content with the following example, or you may customize it to suit your specific requirements.
To: Select sender options from Dropdown or a static address like contracts@company.com.

Email Subject:

Reminder: Contract {{issue.key}} – "{{issue.summary}}" is expiring on {{issue.Target end}}

Email Body:

Hi {{issue.assignee.displayName}},
