Certification Renewal Calendar Blocker

When a certification crosses 45 days from expiry, it books a renewal task on the employee's Google Calendar and emails them the booking so the renewal work gets scheduled time.

What it does

This workflow converts an upcoming expiry into protected time on the calendar. As each credential reaches 45 days before lapsing, it creates a calendar event for the renewal and notifies the holder, so the task lands on their schedule instead of an easily-ignored email.

When to use it

Reach for this when renewals require real effort — booking an exam, attending a class, gathering CE hours — and a one-line reminder isn't enough. Putting a dated block on the calendar dramatically raises the odds the renewal actually happens.

How it works

  1. 1A daily schedule scans for credentials hitting the 45-day-before-expiry mark.
  2. 2It reads matching rows from the Airtable certification register.
  3. 3A logic step skips anyone who already has a renewal event booked for this cycle.
  4. 4For each remaining holder it creates a Google Calendar event titled with the certificate and a target completion date a week before expiry.
  5. 5Gmail sends a confirmation noting the booked time and what's required.
  6. 6The Airtable row is updated to record that a calendar block was created.
