How do I set 7/30/60/90-day renewal reminders in SpeedLegal and get notifications by email or calendar?
9 min read
Most teams don’t miss renewals because they don’t care; they miss them because the dates are buried in PDFs and nobody has a reliable reminder system. In SpeedLegal, renewal dates are pulled into a single view and tied to automated 7/30/60/90‑day reminders that you can route to email and your calendar, so you see risk coming before it hits your P&L.
Quick Answer: You upload or confirm the renewal date for each contract, SpeedLegal tracks all upcoming expiries and auto‑renewals, and then sends you 7/30/60/90‑day alerts via email and calendar-based reminders so you never miss a key milestone.
The Quick Overview
- What It Is: A contract reminder system inside SpeedLegal that tracks expiring and auto‑renewing contracts and sends proactive notifications at 7, 30, 60, and 90 days.
- Who It Is For: Legal, finance, procurement, sales ops, and anyone who owns vendor or customer contracts and can’t afford surprise renewals or lapses.
- Core Problem Solved: Eliminates “we missed the renewal” moments by pairing centralized contract data with automatic renewal reminders and calendar/email notifications.
How It Works
Once your contracts are in SpeedLegal, the platform extracts or stores your key dates (effective date, termination date, renewal date, auto‑renewal cycle). From there, it:
- Categorizes all terminating contracts by year, month, volume, and dollar value.
- Shows everything expiring or auto‑renewing in the next 7, 30, 60, and 90 days.
- Pushes reminders to your email and calendar so you see them where you actually work.
Here’s the typical flow:
-
Analyze & Capture Dates:
Upload your contracts. SpeedLegal analyzes them, surfaces key dates (including renewals), and lets you confirm or correct any field. -
Configure Renewal Windows (7/30/60/90 Days):
In your renewals dashboard, you filter and work from preconfigured 7/30/60/90‑day windows, and set alerts tied to those windows so the right owners get notified in time. -
Get Email & Calendar Notifications:
SpeedLegal sends reminders to your email and lets you pull events directly into your calendar (with color‑coding by contract type/department), so upcoming renewals show up alongside your other work.
Step‑by‑Step: Setting 7/30/60/90‑Day Renewal Reminders in SpeedLegal
Below is a typical workflow to match the “how-do-i-set-7-30-60-90-day-renewal-reminders-in-speedlegal-and-get-notification” use case. Exact button labels may vary slightly based on product updates, but the logic stays the same.
1. Upload Contracts and Confirm Renewal Data
- Upload your contracts (vendor agreements, SaaS, NDAs, MSAs, SOWs, etc.).
- SpeedLegal analyzes the contract and extracts:
- Effective date
- Initial term
- Renewal date / renewal period
- Auto‑renewal clause (yes/no)
- Termination date, if applicable
- In the contract detail view, confirm:
- The correct renewal date or notice deadline.
- Whether the contract auto‑renews and on what cycle (e.g., 12 months).
- Save changes so the renewal data is locked into the central repository.
Why this matters: If the renewal date is wrong, every reminder is wrong. Spending 30 seconds confirming dates upfront saves you from costly auto‑renewals later.
2. Use the Renewal Dashboard for 7/30/60/90‑Day Windows
Navigate to your renewals/expirations section. There you’ll typically see:
- All terminating contracts, categorized:
- By year and month
- By cumulative number
- By dollar value
- Upcoming renewals, grouped into:
- Expiring/auto‑renewing in 7 days
- Expiring/auto‑renewing in 30 days
- Expiring/auto‑renewing in 60 days
- Expiring/auto‑renewing in 90 days
From this view you can:
- Filter by type (e.g., SaaS, vendor, customer), department, jurisdiction, or financial value.
- Sort by renewal date or $ value to prioritize which ones to handle first.
- Drill into a specific contract to see the full text, Red Flag Analyzer, and personalized suggestions before deciding whether to renew, renegotiate, or terminate.
3. Turn On Automated Renewal Reminders
To ensure you actually get notified (not just have dates in a dashboard):
- Open the notifications or reminders settings area.
- Enable automated alerts for renewal events.
- Choose which windows you care about:
- Turn on 7‑day notices for last‑minute checks.
- Turn on 30/60/90‑day notices for negotiation or vendor switch planning.
- Specify who should receive each reminder:
- Legal (General Counsel, in‑house lawyer)
- Finance (VP Finance, controller)
- Business owner (e.g., Head of Marketing for a marketing SaaS)
- Save your preferences.
SpeedLegal will now send proactive notifications ahead of each renewal date, so you have time to act instead of firefighting.
Getting Notifications by Email and Calendar
The other half of “how-do-i-set-7-30-60-90-day-renewal-reminders-in-speedlegal-and-get-notification” is delivery: where do you see these alerts?
1. Email Notifications
Once alerts are enabled:
- You receive emails when a contract is:
- 7, 30, 60, or 90 days away from expiry or auto‑renewal.
- Each email typically includes:
- Contract name and counterparty
- Renewal/expiry date
- Contract type and department
- High‑level financials
- A link to open the contract directly in SpeedLegal
Use these emails to jump straight into the Red Flag Analyzer, review the relevant clauses (change of control, termination, indemnity, etc.), and decide whether to renew or renegotiate.
2. Calendar Integration: Pull Reminders Directly to Your Calendar
To keep renewals visible in your day‑to‑day schedule:
- From the reminders or renewals section, select the option to pull reminders directly to your calendar.
- Connect your preferred calendar (e.g., Google Calendar, Outlook, or other supported providers).
- Choose what you want to sync:
- All 7/30/60/90‑day renewal events
- Only high‑value or specific category contracts (if filters are available)
- Confirm and save.
Once connected, SpeedLegal will create calendar events for upcoming renewal milestones, so you see:
- Expiring and auto‑renewing contracts plotted in a calendar view.
- What is coming up in the next weeks and months, alongside your regular meetings.
3. Color‑Code Events by Type or Department
SpeedLegal also lets you flag each event with a different color, for example by:
- Contract type (SaaS vs vendor vs customer)
- Department (Marketing, Sales, Operations, IT, etc.)
- Risk level or financial impact (if your internal playbook uses that approach)
This way, a quick glance at your calendar tells you:
- Which renewals are high‑stakes (e.g., mission‑critical SaaS)
- Which can be handled later or by another team member
- Where to focus your negotiation effort in any given week
4. Mobile Notifications
Because reminders are tied to both email and calendar:
- You get mobile push notifications via your calendar app and email app.
- That means you’re covered even when you’re away from your laptop—no more getting back from travel to discover you’ve rolled into another 12‑month auto‑renewal.
Features & Benefits Breakdown
| Core Feature | What It Does | Primary Benefit |
|---|---|---|
| Centralized renewal tracking | Stores all contracts with terms, renewal dates, and auto‑renewal info in one place | One source of truth for renewals; no more spreadsheet chaos |
| 7/30/60/90‑day upcoming renewals view | Shows all contracts expiring or auto‑renewing in those windows | See what’s urgent vs upcoming and plan negotiations early |
| Automated email and calendar reminders | Sends notifications to your inbox and calendar before key dates | Never miss a renewal or termination window |
Ideal Use Cases
- Best for vendor and SaaS management: Because it ensures you don’t auto‑renew tools you no longer use or overpay for, and gives finance and legal enough time to renegotiate terms.
- Best for customer contracts and revenue teams: Because it surfaces upcoming customer renewals and terminations early, so sales and CS can secure renewals, upsell, or adjust pricing instead of reacting after a churn.
Limitations & Considerations
- Not a substitute for legal advice: SpeedLegal is a contract reading and reminder facilitator, not a law firm. It helps you see dates, risks, and market vs internal standards, but it does not tell you what you “should” agree to. It’s still up to you (and your legal counsel) to make the final decision.
- Date accuracy depends on inputs: While SpeedLegal uses AI to extract terms and dates, some contracts are drafted in highly bespoke ways. For those, you should confirm the extracted renewal/notice dates during setup to ensure reminders are accurate.
Pricing & Plans
SpeedLegal’s renewal reminders and notifications are part of the broader contract analysis and management platform. Plans are designed around how many contracts you manage, your need for Market Standards, and whether you want an additional human check.
- Startup Plan: Best for small legal/finance teams and founders needing accurate reminders, basic contract analysis, and a clear 7/30/60/90‑day view without building a full CLM stack.
- Growth / Enterprise Plan: Best for scale‑ups and larger organizations needing advanced analytics, Market Standards benchmarking, more complex workflows, and an additional human review layer on top of the AI models (free during Beta) for added assurance.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I have to set each 7/30/60/90‑day reminder manually for every contract?
Short Answer: No. Once your contracts are in SpeedLegal and renewal data is captured, the 7/30/60/90‑day views and reminders work automatically across your portfolio.
Details:
You confirm the renewal or termination dates once at the contract level. SpeedLegal then:
- Places each contract into the appropriate “expiring/auto‑renewing in 7/30/60/90 days” buckets.
- Generates renewal events and pushes them to email and calendar based on your settings.
- Updates those buckets dynamically as time passes, so you always see what’s coming next without manual recalculation.
You can override or adjust reminders for specific high‑value contracts, but you don’t have to recreate the 7/30/60/90 logic for each agreement.
Can different teams receive different renewal notifications?
Short Answer: Yes, you can route reminders to the right stakeholders by contract type, department, or ownership.
Details:
Inside SpeedLegal, contracts can be categorized by:
- Type (e.g., SaaS, professional services, NDAs)
- Department (Marketing, Sales, HR, IT)
- Owner or responsible team
You can then configure notifications so that:
- The legal team receives a portfolio‑level view and broad reminders.
- Finance is alerted to high‑value renewals.
- Department owners see the renewals that affect their own tools and vendors.
This avoids the classic “everyone gets every reminder” noise problem and keeps accountability clear.
Summary
If your question is “how-do-i-set-7-30-60-90-day-renewal-reminders-in-speedlegal-and-get-notification,” the answer is: capture renewal dates once, let SpeedLegal group them into 7/30/60/90‑day windows, and switch on automated email and calendar reminders. You get a live calendar of upcoming expirations and auto‑renewals, complete with color‑coded events, so you can renegotiate, switch vendors, or terminate on your terms—not the other side’s.
