When to send this workflow

90- or 60-day renewal reminder

Start the renewal conversation early with a message tailored to the account, plan, and next step.

At-risk account check-in

Send a more personal outreach when product usage, support volume, or stakeholder engagement signals churn risk.

Renewal plus upsell moment

Use a personalized renewal message to tee up expansion where the account is healthy and engaged.

Personalization

Fields worth personalizing

FieldExampleWhy it matters
first_nameSamKeeps the message person-to-person rather than account-to-account only.
company_nameLighthouse AIUseful for making the video feel specific to the customer's team.
renewal_dateJune 30Anchors the message around a concrete timeline and next action.
plan_nameGrowthLets the video reference the right package or account scope.
csm_namePriyaMakes it clear who owns the next step and conversation.
booking_linkhttps://calendly.com/priya/renewal-reviewGives each account a direct route to the renewal conversation.

Setup

How to launch this workflow

Step 1

Segment accounts by renewal stage

Start with one branch such as 90-day reminder, 30-day push, or at-risk renewal outreach.

Step 2

Pull the account fields that change the message

Use renewal date, plan, owner, and any health or expansion signal that changes the tone of the video.

Step 3

Create separate video templates for healthy and at-risk accounts

This keeps the message relevant and avoids a one-size-fits-all renewal motion.

Step 4

Send from your CRM, CS platform, or batch process

Launch with CSV or recurring exports, then automate more deeply if the workflow proves effective.

90-day renewal reminder

Use this for healthy accounts when you want to start the renewal conversation early.

Hi {{first_name}}, I wanted to send a quick note as {{company_name}} gets closer to your {{renewal_date}} renewal. You are currently on the {{plan_name}} plan, and I thought it would be useful to connect early so we can review what is working well and what you may want to adjust before renewal. You can book time with {{csm_name}} here: {{booking_link}}.

At-risk account check-in

Use this when the account needs a more supportive, higher-context touch.

Hi {{first_name}}, I wanted to reach out personally before your {{renewal_date}} renewal. Rather than send another generic reminder, I wanted to make sure {{company_name}} has a chance to talk through goals, blockers, and what would make the next term more valuable. {{csm_name}} is here if it would help to review it together: {{booking_link}}.

Renewal plus expansion conversation

Use this for healthy accounts where upsell or expansion is realistic.

Hi {{first_name}}, with {{company_name}} approaching renewal on {{renewal_date}}, this is a good time to review both your current setup and what else could help your team. Since you are already on {{plan_name}}, we can also look at whether a bigger rollout makes sense. If you want to talk it through with {{csm_name}}, here is the easiest next step: {{booking_link}}.
