A company is implementing Revenue Cloud to automate its subscription renewals.

The most effective and supported way to enable one-click subscription renewals in Salesforce Revenue Cloud is to use a Screen Flow that calls the InitiateRenewal invocable action. This invocable action is provided as part of Salesforce Subscription Management and allows for the programmatic initiation of a renewal process on active assets.

By embedding this flow as a Quick Action on a Contract, Subscription, or Account record page, sales reps can start the renewal process directly from the UI without manual data entry or navigation. This aligns with Salesforce best practices for declarative automation using Flow.

Option B (Apex trigger) is not recommended, as renewals are typically initiated by user intent, not automatically based on dates.

Option C (custom checkbox and Process Builder) is a workaround that lacks the flexibility, reliability, and maintainability of Flow + invocable action.
