In Claude: Customize → Connectors → + Add → Add custom connector. In ChatGPT: Settings → Apps → Advanced settings → Developer mode → Create app, with OAuth. In Codex: `codex mcp add stacksync --url https://mcp.stacksync.com/mcp` then `codex mcp login stacksync`. Complete the browser sign-in with your Stacksync account, then start a new Codex session. In Claude Code: `claude mcp add --transport http stacksync https://mcp.stacksync.com/mcp`. Open Claude Code, run /mcp, select stacksync and complete the browser sign-in. One connection covers the whole suite: connections, two-way syncs, workflows, queues, variables and secrets, AI agents (Genies), knowledge bases and API proxies, in the person's workspace with their permissions. Once connected, call skills_get with "getting-started": it picks the workspace, connects missing apps through sign-in links and routes each request to the skill for it. Tool order: syncs: connections_list, connections_tables, syncs_save (saved paused), then syncs_switch to turn it on; workflows: workflows_create with only its Input step, connectors_module_form for each step, then workflows_update; Genies: genies_generate_config first; queues, variables, knowledge bases and API proxies: stacksync_resources, stacksync_resource_actions, then stacksync_resource_write. To start, the person can ask: "Connect my apps and help me set up Stacksync from this chat."

Author Ignacio Malpartida · GTM Engineer Published September 18, 2026 Read time 5 min read APP TIPS ## The operating decision Automating MEP service renewals means coordinating decisions about the next term, not simply copying an expiration date into a reminder. Bring together the current agreement, covered equipment and sites, service history, proposed pricing and authorized customer acceptance. Use a workflow to route the reviews and preserve the approved version. Sales can manage the conversation while contract administration controls activation and finance validates the billing terms for the new service obligation. Explore the complete [commercial HVAC, plumbing and electrical contractors integration and automation hub](https://www.stacksync.com/industry/construction/commercial-mep-contractors) for the systems and processes around this guide. ![Summary card: MEP service agreement renewal workflow with price review](https://www.stacksync.com/images/blog-highlights/icp-service-agreement-renewals-for-mep-contractors-coordinate-price-review-and-customer-approval.webp) ## What this looks like in commercial HVAC, plumbing and electrical contractors An HVAC and electrical contractor renews an agreement for a property group that added two buildings during the year. Sales wants one combined proposal, service management needs to revise visit frequency, and finance wants to review the billing arrangement. A reminder alone sends an incomplete quote too early. A coordinated workflow produces a proposal with the right sites and work categories, then tracks acceptance and activation as separate events. ## Records, ownership, and update rules | Record | Owner | Operating rule | | --- | --- | --- | | Current agreement | Contract administrator | Provide the active scope, covered sites and term end date. | | Proposed service scope | Service manager | Identify added equipment, changed visit frequency and exclusions. | | Renewal price version | Commercial and finance reviewers | Record the reviewed rates and billing basis for that scope. | | Customer acceptance | Authorized account contact | Tie acceptance to the exact proposal and future effective date. | ![Record ownership diagram: Current agreement, Proposed service scope, Renewal price version](https://www.stacksync.com/images/blog-diagrams/icp-service-agreement-renewals-for-mep-contractors-coordinate-price-review-and-customer-approval.webp) *Define the record owner and the rule before enabling updates.* ## Work through the process 1. 01 Start with the current obligation Collect the active agreement and approved changes made during the term. Confirm which sites and equipment are actually covered today. A renewal that starts from last year's original quote can omit additions or perpetuate a service obligation that the team already changed. 2. 02 Review operational changes Have service management identify equipment additions, service-frequency changes and recurring issues relevant to the next term. Keep recommendations separate from approved contract scope. The workflow should capture a decision on each material change rather than passing a long unstructured service-history export to sales. 3. 03 Route pricing for the proposed version Attach pricing to a specific scope revision and term. Define who reviews discounts, rate changes and nonstandard billing arrangements. If the scope changes after pricing approval, return the affected proposal for review instead of preserving an approval that applied to a different obligation. 4. 04 Collect customer acceptance Record the accepted proposal version and the authority of the accepting contact. A positive email about renewal discussions does not necessarily accept all proposed terms. Where the customer requests revisions, create a new proposal version and keep the earlier one available for comparison. 5. 05 Activate and verify the next term After the required acceptance and internal review, route activation through the contract owner and supported system action. Return the resulting contract status to HubSpot. Check for an unintended coverage gap or overlap, especially when only some sites renew or the effective date moves. 6. 06 Handle a renewal that changes billing structure A customer may accept the service scope while asking to move from site-level invoices to a consolidated bill. Route that request to finance with the affected agreements and proposed effective date. Do not collapse the service-site relationships merely to simplify invoicing. Service teams still need to know what each site receives, even when finance approves a different presentation of the charges for the next term. ![6-step operating sequence: MEP service agreement renewal workflow with price review](https://www.stacksync.com/images/blog-diagrams-mermaid/icp-service-agreement-renewals-for-mep-contractors-coordinate-price-review-and-customer-approval.webp) *Follow the operating sequence; unresolved exceptions return to a responsible reviewer.* ## Handle the exceptions explicitly ### Customer renews only selected sites Create the accepted scope explicitly and leave excluded sites outside the activated term. ### Price approval predates a service-frequency change Reopen the affected review because the underlying obligation changed. ### Acceptance arrives after expiration Route the gap to contract administration rather than assuming continuous coverage. ## What to verify before expanding - Every price approval names the scope revision it covers. - Partial renewals preserve site-level coverage decisions. - Customer acceptance and contract activation remain distinct. - The CRM reflects the verified active term after the handoff. ## Connect this process to the rest of your operation [Explore Stacksync workflows](https://www.stacksync.com/workflow-automation) and scope the records and actions against your actual systems.

Yes. Reminders are useful triggers, but the value comes from resolving scope, price and activation decisions with the right evidence and owners. Should service history automatically change renewal pricing? It can inform the review, but pricing remains a commercial decision. Have the workflow summarize relevant history and route it to the authorized reviewer rather than silently changing rates. Which renewal proposal and activation signals should you track? Track proposals returned for missing scope, time awaiting internal review, activation gaps and manual correction after acceptance. Separate these operational measures from the sales team's renewal win rate.
