Never let an SSL certificate expire without warning

In short

How do I make sure our SSL certificates in DigiCert never expire without warning?

WebRun checks DigiCert every morning for certificates approaching their expiry date, sends the owner a Telegram reminder once inside 30 days, and escalates by Twilio text once inside 7 days. It never renews a certificate or touches a private key itself, only tracks the expiry date and reminds the owner.

  • Certificate owners get a reminder a full month before expiry, not the week of
  • Escalation to text only kicks in once the window gets tight
  • No private key is ever read, generated, or handled by WebRun

Questions, answered

Will it renew or reissue the certificate itself?

No. WebRun only tracks expiry dates and reminds the owner. Renewing or reissuing a certificate is always a manual step taken in DigiCert.

Does it ever handle the certificate's private key?

No. WebRun never reads, generates, or handles a certificate's private key. It only reads the expiry date shown in DigiCert.

What if the certificate is already renewed?

It reads the live expiry date each morning, so a renewed certificate drops out of the reminder automatically.

Put this on autopilot.
