How it works Triggers on schedule (every 3 days at 10AM) Reads domain list from your Google Sheet Checks each domain's SSL certificate using OpenSSL commands Parses expiration dates, issuer info, and calculates days remaining Updates Google Sheet with current status for all domains Sends styled email alerts only when certificates are expiring soon Set up steps Connect your Google Sheets OAuth2 credentials Create a Google Sheet with these columns: Domain, Expiry Date, Days Left, Status, Issuer, Last Checked (the workflow matches on the Domain column to update results) Add your domains to scan in the Domain column Update the Sheet ID in the Read Domain List from Google Sheets and Update Google Sheet with Results nodes Connect SMTP credentials in the Send Alert Email via SMTP node Optionally adjust ALERT_THRESHOLD_DAYS in two nodes: Prepare Domain List and Set Threshold and Parse SSL Results and Identify Expiring Certs (default: 20 days) Setup time: ~10 minutes
