n8n Contract Analyzer That Prevented $284K Unbudgeted Auto-Renewal Commitments 🔥
Contract review. 47 monthly. Manual analysis consuming 376 hours.
Built n8n workflow.
THE LEGAL CHALLENGE:
Every contract manual. Legal reading documents. Extracting terms. Checking compliance.
Identifying renewal clauses. Calculating deadlines. Setting reminders. Tracking obligations.
Reviewing termination rights. Checking liability. Verifying IP ownership. Inspecting data privacy. Subjective scoring.
Flagging missing clauses inconsistently. Risk varies. Approval routing based on memory.
8 hours per contract. 47 monthly. 376 hours.
Audit - 18 auto-renewal deadlines missed ($284K). 23 contracts missing critical clauses. 31 obligations missed ($52K). 67% accuracy.
THE n8n AUTOMATION:
8-node workflow:
Google Drive Trigger → Download → Extract Data → Red Flag Detection → Compliance Scoring → Smart Alert Engine → Database Log → Risk Router → [Critical] OR [Standard]
EXTRACTION:
Parties, type, dates, value, currency, payment terms, schedule, renewal clause, auto-renewal, renewal notice, termination notice, penalties, liability cap, indemnification, IP ownership, data privacy, governing law, arbitration, force majeure, SLA, audit rights, insurance, obligations
RED FLAG DETECTION:
```javascript
const redFlags = [];
// Unlimited liability
if (!contract.liabilityCap || contract.liabilityCap.includes('unlimited')) {
redFlags.push({ severity: 'critical', flag: 'Unlimited liability' });
}
// Auto-renewal trap
if (contract.autoRenewal && renewalNoticeDays < 30) {
redFlags.push({ severity: 'critical', flag: 'Auto-renewal insufficient notice' });
}
// Missing termination
if (!contract.terminationNotice) {
redFlags.push({ severity: 'high', flag: 'No termination rights' });
}
const criticalScore = redFlags.filter(f => f.severity === 'critical').length * 20;
```
COMPLIANCE SCORING:
```javascript
const checks = {
hasLiabilityCap: !!contract.liabilityCap,
hasGoverningLaw: !!contract.governingLaw,
hasTerminationClause: !!contract.terminationNotice,
hasRenewalTerms: !!contract.renewalClause,
hasIPProvisions: !!contract.ipOwnership,
hasDataPrivacy: !!contract.dataPrivacy
};
const complianceScore = (passedChecks / totalChecks) * 100;
const riskLevel =
complianceScore < 50 ? 'critical' :
complianceScore < 70 ? 'high' : 'low';
```
SMART ALERT ENGINE:
```javascript
// Tiered alerts
const tier =
value >= 500000 ? 'strategic' : // 120/90/30 days
value >= 50000 ? 'operational' : // 90/60/30 days
'transactional'; // 30/15/7 days
// Auto-renewal deadline
if (contract.autoRenewal && noticeDue <= 7) {
createAlert({
type: 'auto_renewal_deadline',
severity: 'CRITICAL',
message: `Must cancel by ${noticeDeadline}`
});
}
```
