Scheduled Auto-Scan

Configure automated domain and SSL certificate scanning on a schedule. Available from the Business plan onwards.

Overview

While the standard Auto-Scanner checks items with domains every hour, the Scheduled Auto-Scan lets you define a list of domains to monitor proactively — even before adding them as items.

Setup

1. Go to Settings → Integrations → Auto-Scan
2. Toggle Enable to activate
3. Add up to 50 domains to monitor
4. Choose a scan interval: Daily or Weekly
5. Optional: Enable Auto-Import to automatically create items from discovered certificates
6. Optional: Enable Notify on New to receive a notification when new certificates are found
7. Click Save

How It Works

• A cron job runs hourly and checks if a scheduled scan is due
• On each scan, Expirly performs SSL and WHOIS checks on all configured domains
• Results are stored in the scan configuration (lastScanAt, lastScanStats)
• If Auto-Import is enabled, new certificates are automatically created as items in your workspace

Scan Statistics

After each scan, you can see:

• Total scanned – Number of domains checked
• New certificates – Newly discovered certificates
• Expired certificates – Certificates that have expired since the last scan

Domain Validation

• Each domain is validated for format and length (max 253 characters)
• Private IP addresses are rejected (SSRF protection)
• Domains are cleaned and normalized automatically
