Automated Netlify Domain Expiry Tracking
Every Monday, WebRun opens Netlify, reads the custom domains and certificate status on each site, records every domain with its expiry and certificate renewal date in Airtable, and writes a Notion renewal brief listing what expires in the next 60 days and anything already showing a problem.
How do I get reminded before a domain or SSL certificate expires?
WebRun reviews your Netlify sites every Monday, reading each custom domain and its certificate status. It tracks every expiry date in an Airtable register and writes a Notion renewal brief listing what lapses within 60 days plus any certificate or DNS warning, so no site goes dark over a missed renewal.
- Expiring domains surface 60 days before they lapse
- Certificate and DNS warnings lead the brief the week they appear
- The Airtable register gives every domain a renewal history

How is each run configured?
Secure by default
Connect once, stays signed in
WebRun signs in once and keeps each session in a persistent environment, so every run picks up right where it left off.
Every action is checked against this policy before it runs.
Questions, answered
Will it renew or buy a domain?
No. WebRun never spends money, renews a domain, or changes a billing setting. It reads the expiry dates and reports them. A person does the renewal in Netlify or at the registrar.
Does it change DNS or site settings?
No. The run is read-only inside Netlify. It does not edit DNS records, trigger a deploy, provision a certificate, or change any site configuration.
How much warning do I get?
Sixty days by default, and you can widen the window. Certificate warnings and DNS problems appear in the brief immediately, at the top, rather than waiting for an expiry date to approach.
