How Quote expiration works by default

By default:

  • A Quote expires 7 days after it is sent to the customer

  • A Quote changes status to Expiring Soon 24 hours before the expiration date

Where to change Quote expiration settings

To modify expiration settings:

  1. From the left-hand menu, go to Settings

  2. Select Quotes under Operational Settings

    All expiration and warning settings for Quotes are managed from this page.

Change how long Quotes stay valid

To update the default expiration period:

  • Enter the number of days you want a Quote to remain valid

  • By default, this value is set to 7 days

Important:
When creating an individual Quote, you can also:

  • Set a custom expiration date, or

  • Choose no expiration date

These options override the default setting for that Quote only.

Customize expiration warnings (Expiring Soon)

To control when Quotes are marked as Expiring Soon, go to the
​Open Quote Expiring Warning section.

From here, you can:

  • Set when a Quote changes from Sent to Expiring Soon

  • Trigger automatic warning messages before expiration

  • Send warnings via email and/or SMS, based on your preferences

Manage multiple expiration warnings

You can:

  • Add multiple expiration warnings

  • Configure each warning for a different time interval before expiration

  • Edit or delete existing warnings as needed

If all expiration warnings are removed:

  • Quotes will skip the Expiring Soon status

  • Quotes will move directly from Sent to Expired

Save your changes

After updating your settings, make sure to save your changes.

Your new Quote expiration and warning settings will apply to all future Quotes.
