Renewal reminders in Slack, Microsoft Teams, and HTTPS webhooks

Summary

Renewal risk is only useful if the right people see it in the systems they already monitor. Email alone often fails at scale; channel-based notifications and HTTPS JSON webhooks let procurement and legal wire Contrax into Slack, Microsoft Teams, or tools like Zapier and Make.

When to use which channel

• Email — default owner notifications; best for formal audit trails.
• Slack — fast visibility for US-centric engineering and GTM stacks.
• Microsoft Teams — common in Microsoft 365-heavy enterprises, especially in Europe.
• HTTPS webhook — generic POST JSON for internal services, ServiceNow-style integrations, or automation platforms.

Payload basics (webhook)

Contrax sends a stable JSON envelope with contrax.eventVersion, contrax.event, contractId, contractNumber, daysUntil, and kind (expiration or non_renewal). See the public reference at https://usecontrax.com/docs/reminder-webhooks.

Governance

Webhook URLs must be HTTPS. Workspace admins should treat connector URLs and shared webhook secrets like credentials—rotate when people change roles, and scope automation endpoints to least privilege.
