Set Expiry Alerts

Configure alerts to get notified before domains expire. Never miss a renewal deadline again.

Updated: 2025-12-14

Quick answer

Enable alerts in UnifyDom to get notified before domains expire. Set global defaults, then override per domain as needed.

When to use this

  • You want advance notice before domains expire
  • You manage domains across multiple registrars with inconsistent renewal emails
  • You need to notify team members or clients about upcoming renewals
  • You want to automate renewal workflows via webhooks

Steps

  1. Open Alerts settings — Go to Settings → Alerts from the sidebar.

  2. Enable global expiry alerts — Toggle on “Expiry alerts” to activate notifications for all domains by default.

  3. Set default timing — Choose when you want to be notified:

    • 90 days — Early planning
    • 60 days — Review and budget
    • 30 days — Decision time
    • 14 days — Urgent reminder
    • 7 days — Final warning
  4. Connect channels — Add at least one notification channel:

    • Email — Alerts sent to your account email
    • Slack — Connect via OAuth and select a channel
    • Discord — Add a webhook URL
    • Webhook — POST to your custom endpoint
  5. Test delivery — Click “Send test alert” to verify your setup works.

  6. Override per domain (optional) — On any domain’s detail page, change alert timing or disable alerts entirely.

For large portfolios, earlier alerts give you time to batch renewals and negotiate with registrars.

FAQ

Can I set different alert times for different domains?

Yes. Override the global setting on any individual domain.

What channels are supported?

Email, Slack, Discord, and custom webhooks. More channels coming soon.

Why didn't I receive an alert?

Check your spam folder, verify the channel is connected, and ensure alerts are enabled for that domain.

Can I get alerts for domains without expiry dates?

No. UnifyDom needs an expiry date to calculate when to alert you. Ensure WHOIS data is fetched.
