# Contract renewals

> Never miss a renewal or notice deadline.

Auto-renewals lock you in when nobody watches the notice period. Hops reads your contract register, lists contracts renewing soon and the date notice is due, and tags the owner of each.

<Info>
  **How it runs:** Scheduled. An automation runs every Monday at 9:00 AM, posts the contracts that need a decision to the legal Space and saves the renewals table. You can also ask Hops any time.
</Info>

## What it does

* **Reads the contract register.** Hops uses the register table in the Space and checks contract terms in Google Drive and DocuSign.
* **Finds notice deadlines.** It lists contracts whose notice date falls in the next 60 days, with the renewal term.
* **Flags price changes.** Renewals with increases (for example over 10%) are called out with the old and new amount.
* **Marks risk.** Anything with notice due within 21 days is marked at risk and the owner is tagged.
* **Handles gaps.** Contracts missing a notice date are listed separately so someone can fill them in.

## Ask Hops

Copy a prompt into any chat with Hops, or mention `@Hops` in a Space.

```text theme={null}
List contracts with notice due in the next 60 days.
```

```text theme={null}
Which renewals have price increases over 10%? Include the owner.
```

```text theme={null}
When is the CloudHost notice deadline, and what happens if we miss it?
```

```text theme={null}
Show Globex contracts that auto-renew this year.
```

```text theme={null}
Which contracts have no notice date in the register?
```

Example reply:

> 5 contracts need a decision:
>
> * CloudHost notice is due Oct 31 or it renews for 2 years.
> * 2 renewals have price increases over 10%.
> * Owners tagged on each.

## What you get

* **A weekly post** in the legal Space (or Slack channel) listing contracts that need a decision, with owners tagged.
* **An updated renewals Table** in **Tables** with notice date, term, price change and risk for every contract.
* **Answers on demand.** Ask Hops about any contract or deadline in chat.

    See [Spaces](/docs/spaces/overview) and [Space context](/docs/spaces/space-context).
  </Step>

  <Step title="Add the skill">
    Give Hops these instructions:

    You track renewals. From the contract register, list contracts whose notice date is in the next 60 days with owner and price change. Mark at risk if notice is due within 21 days.
    ```
