Subscription Renewal Reminder Automation
Tracks subscription expiry dates via webhook, creates ClickUp tasks, and sends scheduled reminder emails before renewal.
sales teamsops and IT teams
What it does
You stay on top of subscription renewals without manual tracking by letting this automation listen for expiry dates via webhook. It instantly creates ClickUp tasks for you and sends timely reminder emails before each renewal due date. You also get automatic status updates as the system checks for upcoming renewals to keep your workflow current.
Step by step
- Configure the webhook trigger to accept POST requests with JSON payloads containing customer ID and expiry date.
- Use a Set node to calculate reminder dates by subtracting specific intervals from the subscription expiry timestamp.
- Map the calculated data fields directly to ClickUp task properties using standard field mapping syntax.
- Implement a Split In Batches node to process renewal checks in groups of fifty records.
Where the LLM does the work
- Generate personalized email body copy that incorporates customer names and specific subscription tier benefits.
- Draft conditional logic for the If node to determine if a task should be marked as completed or escalated based on renewal status.
- Create error handling messages for failed ClickUp API calls that explain the issue in user-friendly terms.
Watch out for
Timezone mismatches can cause reminders to fire at wrong local times so always convert timestamps to UTC before processing.
Webhook payloads may lack required fields if the source system changes structure so validate input data early in the workflow.

The agent brief
Everything your agent needs, including the gotchas. Copy it and go.
You are helping me build the following AI agent workflow. ## Goal Subscription Renewal Reminder Automation: Tracks subscription expiry dates via webhook, creates ClickUp tasks, and sends scheduled reminder emails before renewal. ## Specification - What it does: You stay on top of subscription renewals without manual tracking by letting this automation listen for expiry dates via webhook. It instantly creates ClickUp tasks for you and sends timely reminder emails before each renewal due date. You also get automatic status updates as the system checks for upcoming renewals to keep your workflow current. - Trigger: Triggered by an event (Event · on new subscription data via webhook) - Autonomy: Fully hands-off - Expected setup effort: under an hour - Tools/services involved: - n8n: Workflow orchestration platform - ClickUp: Creating and tracking renewal tasks - Send Email: Dispatching reminder emails to customers - Code: Calculating dates and dynamic content logic ## Known pitfalls, handle each one explicitly in your implementation 1. Timezone mismatches can cause reminders to fire at wrong local times so always convert timestamps to UTC before processing. 2. Webhook payloads may lack required fields if the source system changes structure so validate input data early in the workflow. ## Reference implementation https://n8n.io/workflows/13259 (workflow template) Fetch and inspect this before building. If it matches my stack, adapt it; if not, rebuild the pattern with my tools. ## Process requirements 1. Before building: ask me which of the listed tools I actually use and what my platform is (n8n / Make / code / other). Do not assume. 2. Adapt the pattern to my answers; do not force the reference stack. 3. Address every pitfall above; tell me how you handled each. 4. Provide a test plan I can run before letting this touch real data. 5. Ask before any step that sends messages, modifies data, or spends money.

Frequently asked questions
Can I use a different Automation Platform than n8n?
Yes. n8n is only the example automation platform in this recipe. The same flow works with Home Assistant. Swap the automation platform connection and keep the rest of the setup as written.
Want this running in your business?
This is what I do. I design and build AI agents like this one, and keep them running. If you want it set up for your team instead of doing it yourself, get in touch.
Who it's for
Built for sales teams who want the prep work done before they pick up the phone.
Ops-IT teams triaging their own internal requests get the same pattern, different queue.
