System Admin can set up the Renewal Notification Preferences, including:
Once enabled, the scheduled job will look for all active subscriptions whose end date is X days later (X is configured by the customer), and send out an email notification to the Customer Authorized By (contact) of the subscription. If this field is null, then take the first contact of the associated account.
Please see a Renewal Template Example here. The template can be configured in Salesforce.
When the user wipes out the first field (the number of Days) with the setting enabled, then Nue will send out the renewal notification to customers' contacts 30 days (default) before the subscription's End Date.

The Auto Renewal Scheduled Job will look for all active subscriptions whose end date is within 2 days (unless configured differently), and renew them in batches.
Automatically create quotes or opportunities If it is configured to automatically generate renewal opportunities 2 days (unless configured differently) before the subscription end date, Nue will run a scheduled job to create Renewal Opportunities and Renewal Quotes for the subscriptions ending 2 days (unless configured differently) later.
Disable auto-renew If the admin user would like to disable the auto-renewal of subscriptions (instead, only renewal quotes and opportunities are generated for the renewals), they can wipe out the first field as shown in the screenshot below. In this case, the auto-renewal will not happen. However, if the checkboxes are checked, the renewal opportunities and renewal quotes for the auto-renew subscriptions will still be generated. |
