Hi, I am looking to set up a workflow for a reminder for the contract end date field I have created. I only want it to remind via a task, as I do not need to contact the client before, as its an internal reminder. This was my first attempt, but it has not pulled through, the 2 example companies that have expired contract data in that field. They are over 10 days expired, so thought this would cover this. Ay guidance would great, I only created the trigger as a product as I thought that would be easier. ![MPalmer6_1-1671534895333.png](https://d2qpr2jzcazej7.cloudfront.net/original/3X/c/7/c76d932fe5b9293a5dc1dcb840e9be9d90cf666f.png) ---

Hi @MPalmer6, You would have to include the _Contract expiration date_ in the enrollment criteria: ![karstenkoehler_0-1671537094068.png](https://d2qpr2jzcazej7.cloudfront.net/original/3X/b/9/b9843873d2d5e800734bf95c9e9b6d051d3d2ac2.png) This workflow for example would enroll a company 14 days before the _Contract expiration date_ and create a task. You could create the task to be due in 7 days so that it appears two weeks before expiration and is due one week before the actual date. Don’t forget to enable re-enrollment if the _Contract expiration date_ might refresh with a new contract. Otherwise, for the next contract, the task would not be created. ![karstenkoehler_1-1671537167049.png](https://d2qpr2jzcazej7.cloudfront.net/original/3X/6/e/6e87501c2d51272dcba48c437832229071c00ae0.png) Best regards! ---

Hi Karsten Thank you for this, I set up our own property for “Contract end date” but when I go to list it as a trigger, it doesnt give me an option to select a timeframe leading up to the event ![MPalmer6_0-1671541167825.png](https://d2qpr2jzcazej7.cloudfront.net/original/3X/d/a/daf40d071cdd8b5e632730560f4d92595763a8bd.png) Here are the options i have, am I doing something wrong in the set up? Thanks ---

Hi @MPalmer6, You have the ‘is less than’ option as 9th item in that sidebar 🙂 Best regards! ---

ah perfect, I had not seen the option to change it to “from now” I need to tweak it a little, as my two examples are quite expired so dont right but going forward I think I have got it now. Thank you so much. ---

Hello, May I please ask: How did you set up/create the Contract end date property? ---

Hi, I set up a new company property in settings. Then added it to my defaults within my client profiles so it shows in the section where I wanted to record it. Kind regards Matt
