How the work actually flows

It branches. Exactly one path is taken; runs once per each domain checked.

The problem it solves

A single expired SSL certificate can take your website offline without warning, and manually checking expiration dates across every domain you manage is easy to forget until customers start seeing security warnings.

Who it fits

IT teams or website administrators responsible for keeping multiple domains secure and online.

How it works

  1. The system pulls your list of domains from Notion on a schedule
  2. It checks each domain's SSL certificate validity
  3. If a certificate has less than 14 days left, it triggers an automatic renewal
  4. You get an alert as soon as a certificate is close to expiring
  5. Once renewed, you get a confirmation and the record in Notion updates
What you get

Certificates that renew before anyone notices trouble

Your domains' SSL certificates get checked every day and renewed automatically before they're ever at risk of expiring.

What you get

Renewed SSL certificates and an up-to-date expiration record, plus alerts when action is needed.

What you need

A Notion workspace and access to your server for certificate renewal.

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.
