Create ticket and team alert for expiring certificates

Automatically monitor Google Calendar event starts across Freshdesk and Slack. Create and update alerts and helpdesk tickets when certificate events start within the window or high priority renewals are flagged or renewal reminders fireβ€”so you can triage renewals early, share the ticket link, and reduce expiry surprises without manual follow-up.

How this automation protects renewal readiness

When certificate events start within the configured window, delays can force last minute renewals and increase outage risk. This automation creates a Freshdesk helpdesk ticket and posts a Slack team alert, then optionally updates the Google Calendar event so your team can triage expiries earlier.

  1. 1.Monitor event starts in window

    Integrate Google Calendar and scheduling tools to watch for events starting within the configured window to trigger certificate renewal workflows.
