What triggers the automatic reactivation of a deactivated MyOperator account after payment?

What triggers the automatic reactivation of a deactivated MyOperator account after payment?

⚡Quick answer -

When the customer fully clears the pending rental, the system immediately attempts to re-activate the account—no agent needed—if the billing cycle is still valid and, for corporate/parent accounts, every child BAN (Billing Account Number) can also be turned on. Auto-activation stops for churned, hard-deactivated, user-requested-off, or fraud-flagged accounts.

When should I use this guide?

Use this reference if you are in Support, Finance, or Customer Success and must explain why an account did (or did not) re-activate after payment, so you can avoid unnecessary tickets and know the edge cases that still need manual work.

Problem: After customers pay their dues, accounts stay inactive until an agent re-enables them, causing service delays and extra tickets.

Solution: A new Auto-Activation Logic re-checks the account as soon as rental payment is confirmed and, if safe, re-activates it without manual effort.


2. Auto-Activation logic

The system activates the account only when all of these are true:

✅ Condition

Description

Payment clearance

Pending rental is fully cleared.

Billing cycle valid

Account is still inside its proper billing cycle.

Corporate accounts

For parent accounts, all linked child BANs activate.

Result: The customer’s service resumes automatically.


3. When does Auto-Activation NOT run?

If any scenario below is detected, the account stays inactive even after payment; an agent must step in.

🚫 Scenario

System reason

Churned account

Next Billing Date has already passed.

Hard deactivation

Status is flagged as “Deactivated.”

Voluntary deactivation

The customer manually turned the service off.

Fraud flag

Account is marked “Fraud.”


4. Back-end sequence of events

• Payment gateway confirms success ➜ System marks rental as cleared.

• Auto-Activation job fires immediately.

• Job checks the three happy-path conditions.

– If all true ➜ sets account status to Active (plus child BANs).

– Else ➜ keeps status unchanged and records the blocking reason.

• Audit log is written under Account ▸ History.
