Time bound contracts stop lapsing. Reminders fire automatically.

Documents with validity windows trigger automatic reminder emails at 7, 3, and 1 day before expiration. Both the sender and pending signers get notified, so nobody is caught off guard by an approaching deadline. Expired documents auto mark via hourly background scan, so status always reflects current reality.

Validity Window

Document gets a validity window

When the team sends a document with a defined validity period, the expiration date gets set automatically. Quote validity, proposal expiry, contract acceptance window. The countdown starts from the moment the document goes out, and the reminder schedule activates against the expiration date.

Three Reminders

Reminders fire at 7, 3, and 1 day before

Seven days out, the first reminder fires. Three days out, the second reminder fires. One day out, the final reminder fires. The schedule gives multiple chances to act with progressively increasing urgency. The team and the counterparty both see the deadline approaching at three meaningful checkpoints.

7 Day Reminder3 Day Reminder1 Day ReminderIncreasing Urgency

Both Sides Notified

Sender and pending signers both notified

Each reminder goes to both the sender and the pending signers. The sender knows the deadline is approaching so they can follow up directly. The signers see the reminder in their own inbox so they know to act. Visibility on both sides means nobody can claim they didn't know the window was closing.

Auto Mark Expired

Expired documents auto marked hourly

The background scan runs every hour to check which documents have passed their expiration date. Any document past expiration gets marked as expired automatically. The team's dashboard reflects current state without anyone having to manually clean up old documents or run a status report.

Why Teams Choose SIGI

Six reasons time bound contracts stop lapsing

Three reminders at 7, 3, and 1 day. Sender and signers both notified. Hourly background scans mark expired documents automatically. Time bound contracts close on schedule.

Time bound contracts stop lapsing silently

Time bound contracts stop lapsing silently

A quote that expires unsigned is a deal the team has to redo from scratch. A proposal that lapses is a sales cycle wasted. Automatic reminders make sure nobody loses a deal because the validity window closed without anyone noticing.

Three reminders give multiple chances to act

Three reminders give multiple chances to act

One reminder is easy to ignore. Three reminders at meaningful checkpoints create progressive urgency. Seven days for early awareness, three days for action priority, one day for final push. Each reminder catches a different moment of attention.

Both sides notified, not just internal team

Both sides notified, not just internal team

Sender only reminders depend on the internal team chasing the counterparty. Notifying pending signers directly puts the deadline in their own inbox, where they cannot miss it. The counterparty sees the urgency without the team having to manually communicate it.

Hourly background scans catch expirations

Hourly background scans catch expirations

Daily or weekly scans leave windows where a document is expired but still shows as active in the system. Hourly scans catch expiration within an hour of it happening, so the team's view of contract status stays accurate at every moment.

Status always reflects current state

Status always reflects current state

A dashboard full of contracts marked active that have actually expired is misleading. Auto marking keeps the dashboard honest. What shows as active is genuinely active, what shows as expired is genuinely expired, no stale states confusing the team's operational picture.

Works with the team's existing email tools

Works with the team's existing email tools

Reminders fire as standard emails to the sender's regular inbox and the signers' regular inboxes. No new app to install, no separate notification system to manage. The reminder lands where everyone already pays attention.

Stop watching contracts expire silently. Start letting reminders fire automatically.

Automatic reminders at 7, 3, and 1 day before expiration. Sender and pending signers both notified. Hourly auto marking keeps status current. The expiration management layer your contract close has always needed.

Teams whose time bound contracts close on schedule

Built for teams whose contracts lapse if they don't close in time

Sales operations teams chasing quote and proposal expiration deadlines who lose deals when validity windows close unsigned. Founders signing time bound deals where lapsing means restarting from scratch. Account managers managing renewal windows that need to close before contract end dates. Legal operations teams tracking validity periods across high contract volumes where manual deadline tracking is unsustainable. Any team where time bound contracts represent real revenue at risk.

Questions & Answers

Everything you need to know

Common questions about which documents qualify, the reminder schedule, what happens at expiration, custom schedules, the relationship to Stalled Signer Alerts, and extending validity windows.

Any document with a defined validity window. Quotes with acceptance deadlines, proposals with offer windows, contracts with signing deadlines, time bound agreements with specific validity periods. If the document has an expiration date, the reminder schedule activates automatically. Documents without validity windows do not trigger reminders since the time pressure does not apply.
