# Report Apple Mdm Cert Expiry Scheduled

Alert before Apple MDM certificates and tokens expire

{% hint style="info" %}
This is a scheduled runbook. It is designed to run on a recurring schedule rather than being triggered for a single object. See [Scheduling](/automation/runbooks/scheduling.md) for details on how to configure runbook schedules.
{% endhint %}

### Description

Checks the expiry dates of the Apple Push certificate, the VPP tokens and the DEP tokens in Intune. An email report flags everything that expires within the chosen number of days, so Apple device management does not stop unexpectedly.

### Setup regarding email sending

Sending an email report is optional and only happens when a recipient (`EmailTo`) is provided. The sender address is taken from the `RJReport.EmailSender` tenant setting.

This runbook sends emails using the Microsoft Graph API. To send emails via Graph API, you need to configure an existing email address in the runbook customization.

See the [RealmJoin Report Settings documentation](https://docs.realmjoin.com/automation/runbooks/runbook-report-settings) for details on all available settings.

#### Email branding

The report email honors the optional `RJReport.Branding.*` tenant settings:

* **Header and footer image** – public HTTPS URLs, PNG/JPEG/GIF, max. 200 KB each
* **Footer link** – target of the footer image
* **Accent and text color** – 6-digit hex values, e.g. `#0052cc`

When these settings are not configured, the default RealmJoin graphics and colors are used. An image that cannot be downloaded or validated, or an invalid color value, never prevents the report email – the corresponding default is used instead.

Setup instructions and image requirements: [Email branding](https://docs.realmjoin.com/automation/runbooks/runbook-report-settings#email-branding-optional).

# 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 by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.realmjoin.com/automation/runbooks/runbook-references/org/general/report-apple-mdm-cert-expiry_scheduled.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

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.
