Domain and SSL Certificate Expiration Reminders
A done-for-you everyday business automation built for the Web Operations Manager, connecting Slack and Airtable so the work below happens on its own.
What this automation does, step by step
Every domain and SSL certificate the company owns across its websites, subdomains, and internal tools is tracked in a central Airtable registry along with its registrar, expiration date, and the vendor it's routed through (Cloudflare, Namecheap, or GoDaddy).
A daily check compares expiration dates against today and fires off Slack alerts at ninety, thirty, and seven days out, with the seven-day alert also creating a high-priority ticket assigned directly to the web operations manager.
Any certificate that has auto-renew disabled gets flagged in bold red so it never slips through as if it were self-managing.
What used to be an occasional embarrassing "site not secure" warning discovered by an angry customer becomes a non-event, since every renewal happens with weeks of runway instead of hours.
The manual way vs. the automated way
Without automation
Without this system, a web operations manager manually pieces together information from different places, then has to relay it to everyone who needs it. It rarely feels urgent in the moment, but it adds up fast.
With this automation
- Low-stock and reorder alerts before you run out
- Vendor and subcontractor confirmations that chase themselves
- Preventive maintenance scheduled by usage or date
- Work orders and project milestones that update stakeholders
