How this automation works

Receive timely SMS alerts when your GoDaddy domains are nearing expiration. The Applet runs when a GoDaddy domain is within the number of days you set before its expiration and sends an SMS with the domain and remaining days. This helps domain owners and admins using GoDaddy and SMS avoid lapsed registrations and downtime.
