OutcomeA renewal deal moves itself to Closed Lost with a reason attached the moment someone confirms the account will not renew, so stale renewal deals stop sitting open in the pipeline and skewing forecast.

When to use it, when not to

Use it

  • Use it on renewal deals created by renewal-expansion-001 or built manually, once a rep or CSM has a confirmed non-renewal to record.
  • Use it to keep forecast and pipeline reports honest: an open renewal deal for an account that already told you no is a forecasting risk, not a pending opportunity.

Skip it

  • Do not use it to guess at non-renewal from inactivity alone. This workflow reacts to an explicit confirmation field, not to silence or a missed close date.
  • Do not use it on new-business deals. It is scoped to Deal Type equal to Renewal.
