  1. 1

    Check Password Ages

    Add a Schedule Trigger daily and an HTTP Request to the directory API for passwords nearing your expiry policy.

  2. 2

    Warn Early

    Add a Slack DM at 7 days: friendly, with the reset link.

  3. 3

    Warn Again

    Add a firmer 2-day warning for anyone who hasn't reset.

  4. 4

    Report Compliance

    Add a weekly summary to IT of upcoming and overdue resets.

  5. 5

    Activate and Test

    Activate the workflow with a test account near expiry. Confirm both warnings fire.

Frequently asked questions

Doesn't the OS warn already?

Tiny corner notifications everyone dismisses — a personal Slack DM with the link actually gets acted on.

What about service accounts?

Route service-account credential expiries to the owning team instead — those outages are worse.
