# How to notify partners when certifications expire?

Notifying partners when certification expires is important, ensuring they are always kept up-to-date.

## Notify partners when certification expires

Before you can notify partners about certification, you need to [create a certification](/partner-enablement/certifications/how-to-create-a-certification.md).

Once that has been done, follow these simple steps:

* Go to the specific certification
* Click on Edit in the **About this** **certification** section
* Define a **Validity period**, such as 12 months
* Select the template that will be used when reminding you and your partner about the expiration of the certification
* Include the days when you would like to send the reminder
* Select a template to be sent on the day of the certification expiration

For instance, with one-year certification, you can include an email template that will be sent when the certification expires. You can choose to send another email template 31 days before the certification expires.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs-vnext.kiflo.com/partner-enablement/certifications/notify-partners-certifications-expire.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
