Configure account pool withdrawal and reminder rules
Overview
Automatically withdraw Account Pool Accounts that have no follow-up or conversion for a specified period.
Before you begin
- You need Account Pool management permissions.
- The target Account Pool exists.
- Define the Follow-up Behavior and Deal Behavior used by the rules.
Configure the rules
- Select the Account scope in the target Account Pool’s withdrawal rules.
- Select no automatic withdrawal or automatic withdrawal.
- Calculate withdrawal time from follow-up status or Deal Status.
- Select the current or another Account Pool as the withdrawal destination.
- Set how many days in advance the system sends a reminder to the owner.
- Set priorities for overlapping rules.
- Choose whether to include days elapsed before the rule takes effect.
- Configure no-follow-up or no-deal reminders.
- If required, configure extension eligibility, Processing Time, duration, and Approval.
- Save the rules.



Understand elapsed-time calculation
Assume the original rule withdraws an Account 30 days after a claim. The Account has been held for 10 days when the rule changes to 25 days:
- If elapsed days are included, the Account can be held for 15 more days.
- If elapsed days are excluded, the system starts a new 25-day period.
Note: An Account that matches no withdrawal rule is not withdrawn automatically.
Understand matching and extensions
- When several withdrawal rules match, the rule with the highest priority applies.
- Rules can match by the Account’s department or the owner’s department. Review results after department changes.
- Eligible owners can submit extension requests. Configuration determines approval, extension duration, and the new withdrawal time.
- Give owners enough time to respond to a withdrawal reminder.
Verify the configuration
- Use a test Account to verify the scope and Validation Rules.
- Confirm that Remaining Retention Time is correct.
- Confirm the reminder and destination Account Pool.
