Unfortunately I'm using what's called a wildcard cert and that verification method is more complicated, I have to update some DNS records with a couple of strings and there's no built in way to automate that.
I'll probably change things a bit at some point to make it easier to automate.

That certainly makes your life harder. I usually just upload the new .crt files once a year using WinSCP/PuTTY, restart the server instance and I'm good to go.
