Use Case
Managing SSL certificates manually can be time-consuming and error-prone, often leading to unexpected downtime or security risks due to expired certificates.
What This Workflow Does
This workflow automatically monitors SSL certificates for a list of websites, checks their expiry status using SSL-Checker.io, and sends timely notifications if a certificate is about to expire.
Setup
Add your credentials for Google Sheets, Gmail, and SSL-Checker.io.
Create a Google Sheet with a list of URLs for the websites you want to monitor.
Configure the workflow to check the SSL status weekly.
Set up email notifications to alert you when a certificate is close to expiry.
Activate the workflow to automate monitoring and notification.
How to Adjust It to Your Needs
- Customize the URL Source: Replace Google Sheets with another data source like Airtable or CSV files.
- Modify Notification Thresholds: Change the expiry threshold (e.g., notify for 14 days instead of 7).
- Add Additional Actions: Integrate with tools like Slack or Teams for team-wide notifications.
- Automate Renewal Requests: Add a step to send renewal requests directly to your SSL provider if a certificate is nearing expiry.
