4 Critical Fields for Automations
FieldWhere to setUsed by
Engagement Expiry Date Contact → Custom Fields WF9 — auto-moves to End of Engagement Review on this date
Engagement Warning Date Contact → Custom Fields WF12 — Ruby gets warning task. Set to Expiry Date MINUS 7 days!
Case Management Type Contact → Custom Fields Categorisation into TTP / Direct Tax / VAT / Misc
Monthly Care Fee Contact → Custom Fields Reporting & invoicing
GHL limitation: Custom Date Reminders fire on the EXACT date stored — there is no "X days before" option. That is why a separate Engagement Warning Date field exists and must be manually set 7 days before expiry.

6 Emergency Procedures & Troubleshooting
Contact receiving duplicate emails?
Check "2. Business Development - Send Proposal" workflow execution logs. Look for the engagement-letter-sent tag — if missing, the guard failed.
Automation didn't fire?
Automation → Workflows → [workflow name] → Execution Logs
Check if workflow is Published (not Draft). Check trigger conditions match the contact's data.
Need to stop ALL automations for a contact?
Move opportunity to "Not Moving Forward" in the pipeline. This triggers WF13 which removes them from every workflow and adds nmf-cleared tag. This is permanent and cannot be undone.
Emails not arriving at client?
Known issue: GHL sending domain is vatables.co (with S) instead of vatable.co. DNS fix needed — Charles is handling. Interim: check spam folders.
Engagement expiry didn't trigger review?
Verify that Engagement Expiry Date custom field is filled on the contact record. WF9 uses Custom Date Reminder — field must have a valid date.
Ruby didn't get the warning task?
Check that Engagement Warning Date is set (Expiry Date minus 7 days). GHL cannot auto-calculate offsets — this field must be set manually.
