Alert for Contract Already Expired

⚠️ Let me know immediately if any contract has already passed its Target End Date.

💡 Use Case

Sometimes contracts expire without being renewed or closed. This rule sends an alert when a contract’s Target End Date is already in the past, and the issue is still open.
