I’m looking for a way (workflow or alert) to auto create an incident or service request that's attached to the contracts > contractor feature when a contract is set to expire.

I’m also wanting this feature. I’d like to have an incident/ticket get created upon a Contract Expiry Notification being sent. Workflow Automator does not seem to support Contracts at this time. Freshworks please fix! :)

I would also like this. Entering our e-mail for Freshservice as the reminder e-mail address does not work either and no ticket is created.

FW has said on the road map sessions that hey are working on adding automations to all modules. 
First out was the project module.

Is there any progress on this feature being added in Freshservice?

I’m looking for a way (workflow or alert) to auto create an incident or service request, similar to selecting the right UTV Windshield for a vehicle, that's attached to the contracts > contractor feature when a contract is set to expire.

Set up a scheduled workflow that checks for contracts nearing expiry and triggers an action to auto-create an incident or service request, linking it to the contractor record so it’s attached to the correct contract.

That is a solution, using API

Set up an automated workflow or scheduled job that checks for contracts approaching expiration, then automatically creates an incident or service request linked to the related contractor. Include notifications to the responsible team to ensure timely action.

You could use the scheduler for this, I have setup licence reminders in the schedular which automatically logs a ticket 60 days before the licence is due to expire

 

Although it says to repeat every year if you add different months e.g. Apr and Oct tickets will automatically log every 6 months.

You can set up an automated workflow that checks for contracts nearing expiration and automatically creates an incident or service request linked to the contract and contractor. The workflow should include the contract ID, contractor details, and expiration date, and can optionally send notifications to relevant stakeholders to ensure timely follow-up.

You can automatically create an incident or service request from the contract screen in ServiceNow by using either Flow Designer or a Business Rule. With Flow Designer, you can set up a scheduled flow that triggers when a contract is approaching its expiration date. The flow can check if the contract is active and within a defined threshold for expiration, and then create an incident or service request linked to that contract. You can populate fields such as the short description, detailed description including contractor details, and reference the contract record. Notifications can also be included to alert relevant stakeholders.

Alternatively, you can use a Business Rule on the contract table that triggers before or after an update, checking if the contract end date is near and the status is active. A script can then create an incident or service request and link it to the contract record. Using Flow Designer is recommended for a low-code, maintainable approach, while a Business Rule allows for more customization. Either method ensures that contracts approaching expiration automatically generate tickets, making follow-ups timely and reducing manual effort.

You can set a workflow that checks the contract end date every day. When the date is near the end the system can create an incident or service request by itself. This request can link to the contractor record. You can also add an alert so the team knows the contract is ending soon.
