What runs automatically
The exact conditions under which Autopilot creates a task, and where that work shows up.
The trigger conditions
A scheduled job evaluates your effective requirements and creates a renewal task when a required credential is:
- Missing — the employee has no credential of the required type.
- Expiring — the required credential falls inside the warning window.
- Expired — the required credential is past its expiration date.
What happens after a task is created
- If automatic emailing is enabled, the employee is sent a secure renewal link.
- If it is not enabled, the task is still created and a manager sends the request manually.
- The request appears on the Renewals page under Awaiting employee.
- Once the employee submits, it moves to Pending review and raises a review item in the Action Center.
Interaction with reminders
While a submission is genuinely awaiting review, the ordinary expiration reminder for that same credential is suppressed. The pending review item is the more specific and more actionable signal.
Rejecting a submission does not suppress reminders, because the credential is still unresolved and the ball is back with the employee.
