This Renewal Risk Save voice AI workflow turns a defined business event into a DialNexa conversation, a structured outcome, and a traceable next action. Best for: SaaS, Insurance, Managed services Renewal risk is often visible before the renewal date: low usage, stakeholder changes, complaints, budget concern, procurement delay, or competitor evaluation. A proactive call can surface the blocker while there is still time to act. This workflow contacts accounts before renewal and routes risk signals to the customer-success team.

​
Who Should Use This Renewal Risk Save Workflow

  • SaaS, subscriptions, insurance, education programs, managed services, and membership businesses.
  • Companies with account owners and meaningful renewal value.
Track risk-contact completion, churn-risk reason, save rate, expansion signal, renewal forecast change, and account-owner follow-up time. The workflow matters because churn prevention depends on early, specific signals.

​
Before You Begin

Prepare the following before building the workflow:
  • A clear source event, and a way for your system to add each record as a workflow lead when that event happens.
  • A published DialNexa agent with an approved prompt and human-handoff rule.
  • A test contact who has agreed to receive the call.
  • Access to each source and destination system in the example stack.
  • A short list of structured outcomes to store with post-call analysis.
  • An owner for failed runs, sensitive requests, and low-confidence matches.

​
How The Renewal Risk Save Voice AI Workflow Works

  1. When a renewal window opens, engagement drops, or an account-health rule flags the account, your system (or an integration you run) adds the account contact as a lead to the workflow with the Upload Workflow Leads API or a lead file.
  2. A Custom Function node in the workflow looks up CRM owner, renewal date, plan, usage signal, support history, and open risks, and saves the values as lead variables for the call.
  3. The AI calls the stakeholder and asks about satisfaction, blockers, budget, usage, and next steps.
  4. Healthy accounts receive confirmation and optional expansion routing.
  5. At-risk accounts create a CRM task with risk reason, urgency, stakeholder, and suggested save motion.
  6. High-value or cancellation-language accounts alert the CSM manager immediately.
  7. Analytics stores risk categories for renewal planning.

​
Build The Renewal Risk Save Workflow Step By Step

  1. Define the entry point. Choose one source event, document which records are eligible, and decide how your system adds them to the workflow: the Upload Workflow Leads API or a lead file.
  2. Prepare the agent. Add the goal, questions, approved actions, disallowed actions, and transfer conditions to the agent prompt.
  3. Map call context. Pass only the required customer and business fields through dynamic variables.
  4. Connect the systems. Use a workspace connector when it is available. Otherwise use a custom function, agent webhook, or external automation service.
  5. Store structured outcomes. Define the exact status, reason, owner, due date, and destination record ID that the workflow must produce.
  6. Add the next action. Configure the workflow or application node that updates the destination system, sends a message, or creates a human-owned task.
  7. Test every branch. Test success, rejection, no answer, wrong person, opt-out, missing data, provider failure, and human escalation before launch.

​
Data Contract For This Workflow

Store enough data to explain what happened without requiring the next owner to read the entire transcript:
  • Source event ID, source record URL, and workflow start time
  • DialNexa call ID, agent version, call status, and end reason
  • Matched customer or account ID and identity confidence
  • Structured outcome, reason, urgency, requested next step, and any promise made
  • Destination record ID, assigned owner, due date, and update result
  • Transcript or recording link only when your privacy and retention rules allow it

​
Example Integration Stack

Provider pages describe possible connection patterns. Confirm the provider and required action in your DialNexa workspace before relying on a native connector.

​
Human Review And Failure Paths

Do not make pricing, contract, legal, or cancellation commitments automatically. Route those requests to the owner with full transcript context. Always send opt-outs, complaints, identity uncertainty, policy exceptions, sensitive data, and actions that change money, access, legal terms, or customer commitments to a trained person.

​
Verify The Workflow Before Launch

Run at least one test for every outcome branch and confirm that:
  1. Only eligible records enter the workflow.
  2. The agent receives the expected variables and does not expose internal field names.
  3. The destination system stores the correct status, owner, and DialNexa call ID.
  4. Retried events do not create duplicate calls or duplicate downstream records.
  5. Opt-outs and human-handoff cases stop automation immediately.
  6. The next owner can understand the result and promised next step from the destination record.
