New Idea

CTA rule due date can be formulated off of another date (aka contract sign date) instead of just the rule date

Ability to set a CTA due date off of another date (aka term start date or contract sign date) instead of just the rule date.  

Example: I want to set up a Quarterly Biz Review CTA for month 5 of the clients annual term. However, since I am just setting this up today, I don't want it to run for all historical clients (aka creating overdue CTA's for clients who signed up over 5 months ago) so I set the rule start date to 5 months back. Since I want to CTA due date to be 5 months from the contract sign date, I can set the due date to 145 days from rule date, but that makes every new client who signed up in the past 5 months, to have their QBR for 5 months from today (the day I run the rule, and not 5 months from their contract start date)

    I agree, being able to set the dues date based on another date would be helpful.

    The work around I used when first getting things setup was to add a criteria to the Rule that Created Date had to be greater than a specific date, for example the current date. This way the rule would not apply to previous customers or those added en mass to get things started. Hope that makes sense.

    +1 I was speaking with a customer this week who is also very interested in customizing the CTA due date to be based off a date other than rule date.

    @aditya_marla I have another customer asking about this. Hopefully we can get a timeframe on roadmap prioritization for this, even if it is not an immediate priority. Thanks for your patience and help!

    I’ve had a couple customers ask about having Due Dates be based off another date field rather than the Rule Date (e.g. Due Date = Launch Date)
