Automated Akamai Certificate Expiry Alerts
Every Monday, WebRun signs into Akamai Control Center, reads every certificate with its hostnames, issuer, and expiry date, writes the full inventory into Airtable, works out which certificates expire in the next 60 days, and posts that renewal list to your security channel in Microsoft Teams.

read certificates and expiry dates
How do I track Akamai certificate expiry dates before they lapse?
WebRun signs into Akamai Control Center every Monday and reads every certificate with its hostnames, issuer, renewal type, and expiry date. It records the inventory in Airtable with days remaining, then posts the next 60 days of renewals to Microsoft Teams, listing manual renewals separately.
- Every expiry is visible 60 days ahead
- Manual-renewal certificates are named separately from automatic ones
- One Airtable inventory replaces a spreadsheet nobody updates

Questions, answered
Will it renew or deploy certificates?
No. WebRun reads the certificate list in Akamai Control Center only. It never requests, deploys, revokes, or renews a certificate, and it never edits a property configuration.
How much warning do I get?
The Teams post covers the next 60 days by default, and the Airtable inventory shows days remaining for every certificate, so a manual renewal has two months of visible runway.
Why separate manual renewals?
Automatic renewals usually take care of themselves, while manual ones fail silently. WebRun lists them apart so the certificates that actually need a person are impossible to miss.
