Blue Prism Core doesn't send notifications unless a process is running. Are you asking if there's a way to receive a notification if a process tries to use a credential that has expired or are you asking about receiving a notification from Blue Prism (the tool) the moment a credential expires? If you're asking about the first, then I'd say you have to design that into a process of some kind that checks the credentials and notifies you. If you're asking about the second then, no there's no notification that will occur the moment a credential expires.

Could you explain what you're trying to achieve and then the community can suggest what we've done in the past?

As far as I know, there's no popup/notification about the expiry dates.

The way I'd handle it is to create a simple process that uses the Internal Business Object 'Credentials' action 'List', which should have a column for the Status of the credential, to indicate whether it is expired or not. Then you could have it email you if any are expired with the list of expired credentials. Then I'd set it on a schedule daily and then forget about credentials until the automation emails you.

A Simple answer to your question would be "NO INBUILT Mechanism to notify of expiry".

What many orgs normally do is, create a process to check for password expiry using inbuilt VBOs and schedule it every morning to check for creds those are expiring within say next week and send notifications to owners to update.
