How this automation works
Receive an Email when a Cloudflare SSL certificate is nearing expiration. This Applet runs when Cloudflare detects a certificate for the selected zone within your configured days-before-expiry and sends an HTML email with certificate details. It's useful for site owners and security teams using Cloudflare who want proactive renewal reminders via Email to avoid downtime. Note: Customize the message to fit your tone.
