The problem it solves

You're juggling dozens of client or company websites and have no easy way to know when an SSL certificate is about to expire. One missed renewal and a site shows a scary security warning, or worse, goes down entirely. Checking each certificate by hand is tedious and easy to forget.

Who it fits

IT administrators or agencies responsible for keeping multiple websites secure.

How it works

  1. Runs on a set schedule and pulls the list of website URLs from a spreadsheet
  2. Checks each site's SSL certificate status and expiration date
  3. Updates the spreadsheet with the latest certificate details
  4. Sends an alert by email, Telegram, or push notification when a certificate is expiring soon or invalid
What you get

Expired certificates that never catch you off guard

You get an alert before any of your website security certificates expire, so your sites stay trusted and online without surprises.

What you get

An updated spreadsheet of certificate statuses and an alert message whenever action is needed.

What you need

A Google Workspace account, a Gmail account, and Telegram or a push notification service.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.

That is what a Fractional Chief AI Officer figures out with you, before anyone writes a line of code.
