How do I set 7/30/60/90-day renewal reminders in SpeedLegal and get notifications by email or calendar?

Most teams don’t miss renewal dates because they don’t care; they miss them because the contract is buried in a folder and no one has a system for 7/30/60/90-day warnings. SpeedLegal is designed to be that system for you—pulling key dates from your contracts, letting you set structured reminders, and then pushing those reminders to email and your calendar so you actually act in time.

In this guide, I’ll walk through how to configure those 7/30/60/90-day renewal reminders in SpeedLegal and make sure they show up where your team already lives: inbox and calendar.

Note: Product details evolve. The steps below reflect how SpeedLegal is designed to work: centralized key dates, automated reminders, calendar sync, and email/mobile notifications. Exact button labels may differ slightly in your interface.

The Quick Overview

What It Is: A structured reminder system in SpeedLegal that tracks contract renewal and expiry dates and alerts you 7, 30, 60, and 90 days before they hit.
Who It Is For: Legal, finance, procurement, sales ops, and founders who can’t afford to miss auto-renewals, expiries, or notice periods.
Core Problem Solved: It prevents the “we missed the renewal window” moment by turning contract dates into a clear pipeline of upcoming actions, with email and calendar notifications.

How Renewal Reminders Work in SpeedLegal

At a high level, SpeedLegal does four things for renewals:

Centralizes your contracts and dates
You upload contracts; SpeedLegal extracts key dates (effective date, termination date, renewal date, notice periods) and categorizes each contract by type, vendor, and value.
Builds a timeline of upcoming renewals
Contracts terminating, expiring, or auto-renewing are grouped into views—especially the “next 7, 30, 60, and 90 days”—so you can see what requires immediate attention vs. what you can plan for.
Automates reminders and notifications
You set reminder rules for those 7/30/60/90-day windows. SpeedLegal then sends proactive alerts via email and mobile, and can pull those into your calendar.
Surfaces renewals in a calendar and dashboard
A calendar view shows what’s coming up across weeks and months, while dashboards show expiring/auto-renewing contracts by year, month, number, and dollar value.

This helps you make decisions early—renegotiate, terminate, or renew—rather than reacting after an auto-renewal has already kicked in.

Step-by-Step: Setting 7/30/60/90-Day Renewal Reminders

1. Make sure key dates are captured for each contract

Before reminders can do their job, SpeedLegal needs to know what to track.

Upload your contract
- Drag-and-drop your agreement (PDF, DOCX, etc.) into SpeedLegal.
- The platform analyzes the document using its AI engine.
Let SpeedLegal extract dates
- SpeedLegal detects:
  - Effective/start date
  - Termination/expiry date
  - Auto-renewal clauses
  - Renewal periods and notice windows (e.g., “at least 60 days prior to expiry”)
- You’ll see these surfaced in the contract overview panel.
Review and confirm key renewal fields
- Check that:
  - Termination/expiry date is correct
  - Auto-renewal is set to Yes/No correctly
  - Renewal period (e.g., 12 months) matches the clause
  - Notice period (e.g., 30/60/90 days) is accurately captured
- Adjust any field if the clause is unusual or very bespoke—AI is fast, but you are still the decision-maker.

This step is the legal equivalent of lining up your calendar before you start setting alarms.

2. Configure global 7/30/60/90-day reminder rules

Most teams don’t have time to configure reminders one contract at a time. Instead, you set global rules that apply across your portfolio.

Open the renewal/reminder settings
- From your main dashboard, go to something like:
  - Settings → Notifications or
  - Renewals → Reminder Settings
- Look for a section that references automated alerts, renewals, or expiring contracts.
Enable standard reminder windows
- Toggle on reminder windows for:
  - 7 days before renewal/expiry
  - 30 days before renewal/expiry
  - 60 days before renewal/expiry
  - 90 days before renewal/expiry
- These windows align with how most legal and procurement teams prioritize:
  - 90 days: renegotiation strategy
  - 60 days: internal approvals and budget checks
  - 30 days: final decision
  - 7 days: last chance to execute
Choose which events trigger reminders Decide whether reminders should trigger for:
- Contracts expiring (fixed term with no auto-renewal)
- Contracts auto-renewing (to avoid unwanted rollovers)
- Notice periods where you must give written notice to terminate or modify

You can treat this as your internal playbook for “how early do we want to know?” across all agreements.

3. Apply reminders at the contract or portfolio level

Once global rules exist, you can use them as-is or override them for specific contracts.

A. Use the global defaults (recommended for most teams)

For the majority of your contracts:

Ensure the contract is marked as:
- “Include in renewal tracking” or similar.
SpeedLegal will automatically:
- Match the contract’s key dates to your 7/30/60/90-day rules.
- Queue the reminders without additional manual work.

This is how customers like Twinkly avoided missing any renewals after adopting SpeedLegal.

B. Customize for high-value or unusual contracts

For complex or high-risk contracts (e.g., key vendor, strategic partnership):

Open the specific contract record.
Go to the Renewals or Notifications tab.
Override reminder settings if needed:
- Add an earlier alert (e.g., 120 days) if the notice period is long.
- Turn off certain windows if they’re not meaningful for this contract.
Assign a responsible owner or department:
- e.g., Legal, Procurement, Sales, Finance

This ensures the right people see the reminder and understand that a decision is required.

Getting Notifications by Email and Calendar

SpeedLegal is designed so reminders don’t just live inside the app—they show up in your daily workflow.

1. Turn on email and mobile notifications

Navigate to your user profile or notification settings.
Under Delivery channels, enable:
- Email notifications
- Mobile notifications (if you’re using the SpeedLegal mobile experience)
Choose the events you want to receive by email/mobile:
- Contract expiry and auto-renewal reminders
- Notice-period deadlines
- Upcoming obligations tied to those dates (e.g., price review, SLA checkpoint)

Once enabled, you’ll receive proactive emails ahead of the 7/30/60/90-day marks, so you don’t have to log in daily to stay on top of renewals.

2. Pull reminders into your calendar

To make sure renewal events sit alongside your other work, SpeedLegal can push them directly into your calendar.

Go to Reminders and Notifications or Calendar settings.
Look for an option like:
- “Pull reminders directly to your calendars”
Connect your calendar:
- Google Calendar
- Outlook / Microsoft 365
- (Or other supported providers)
Choose what to sync:
- All expiring/auto-renewing contracts in the next 7/30/60/90 days
- Only contracts assigned to you or your department
Configure color-coding (optional but recommended):
- Flag events with different colors, for example:
  - Red: High-value contracts
  - Blue: Vendor agreements
  - Green: Customer contracts
  - Yellow: Internal services or tools

Once set, your calendar will show a clear view of what’s coming up in the next weeks and months, not just the day of the deadline.

3. Use the calendar view inside SpeedLegal

In addition to pushing reminders outward, SpeedLegal gives you an internal calendar and dashboard for renewals:

Calendar view
- See all contracts expiring or auto-renewing across days, weeks, and months.
- Filter by:
  - Department
  - Contract type
  - Vendor/client
  - Jurisdiction or currency (where applicable)
Dashboard view
- View all terminating contracts:
  - By year and month
  - By cumulative number
  - By dollar value
- See all contracts expiring or auto-renewing in:
  - The next 7 days
  - The next 30 days
  - The next 60 days
  - The next 90 days

This combination helps you zoom from “what’s on my plate today” to “what are our renewal liabilities this quarter?”

Ideal Use Cases

Best for avoiding surprise auto-renewals:
Because SpeedLegal flags contracts auto-renewing in the next 7/30/60/90 days and pushes those events to email and calendar, you get time to renegotiate or terminate before the window closes.
Best for managing high-volume vendor or SaaS contracts:
Because it centralizes renewal dates, categorizes contracts by type/vendor/department, and shows upcoming events visually, ops and finance teams can avoid budget creep and unwanted renewals across dozens or hundreds of agreements.

Limitations & Considerations

Not a substitute for legal advice:
SpeedLegal is a contract reading and management facilitator, not a law firm. It uses statistical inferences to flag dates and risks, but final decisions about renewal, termination, or renegotiation remain with you and your legal counsel.
AI extraction still needs human review for unusual clauses:
For highly bespoke or poorly drafted renewal clauses, double-check extracted dates and notice periods. You can correct them in the UI so reminders fire accurately.

For Startup, Growth, and Enterprise tiers, you can also opt into an additional human check on top of the AI models (free during Beta), which can increase confidence for complex or high-value contracts.

Pricing & Plans

SpeedLegal’s renewal and reminder features are part of a broader platform that helps you analyze, assess, remind, and manage contracts end-to-end.

While pricing can vary by volume and tier, the general pattern is:

Startup Plan:
Best for early-stage companies needing to stop missing renewals and quickly understand key terms without building a full legal ops function.
Growth / Enterprise Plans:
Best for scaling teams needing structured renewal workflows, advanced search, dashboards by value and jurisdiction, and an additional human review layer on top of AI outputs.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I have to set 7/30/60/90-day reminders manually for each contract?

Short Answer: No, you typically set global reminder rules that apply to all tracked contracts, and then customize only where needed.

Details:
You configure standard reminder windows (7/30/60/90 days) at the settings level so that every contract with a renewal or expiry date automatically inherits those rules. For high-value or atypical agreements, you can override the defaults on the individual contract record—adding earlier alerts or disabling some windows if they’re not relevant.

Will SpeedLegal remind me about both expiries and auto-renewals?

Short Answer: Yes, SpeedLegal is built to track and remind you about both expiries and auto-renewals, as well as notice periods.

Details:
When SpeedLegal analyzes your contracts, it distinguishes between:

Fixed-term contracts that simply expire unless renewed; and
Agreements that auto-renew unless you give notice.

You can choose to receive reminders for either or both. In practice, most teams use reminders for:

Expiries (to avoid service interruption), and
Auto-renewals (to avoid being locked into another term), with 7/30/60/90-day alerts so they can make informed decisions and coordinate internally.

Summary

Setting 7/30/60/90-day renewal reminders in SpeedLegal is about more than toggling notifications—it’s about turning your contract repository into an early-warning system. You upload your agreements, confirm the key dates, set global reminder rules, and then let SpeedLegal push those reminders to email and your calendar, color-coded by type and department.

This is how teams go from “we often sign and store contracts and then forget about them” to “we know exactly which contracts are expiring or auto-renewing in the next 7, 30, 60, and 90 days—and we act before the date hits.”
