Slackbot Russia 2018 World Cup

A bot for slack to message about matches of the 2018 FIFA World Cup and other custom actions

Deploy to Heroku

Modules (NEW!)

Now you can develop your own modules to make the bot do other things based on actions. The football-data is now a module, so starting the app must include the module. As an example there is another module that parses the web www.coperos.com for a rooster and post the rooster to the channel. To launch the new module the command is (node index.js coperos). For example you can run the football-data every 10 minutes, the instagram every 30 minutes and the coperos once a day at 23:00:

CRON_SCHEDULE="*/10 * * * *" node index.js football-data
INSTA_ACCOUNT=maradona INSTA_FILTER="Copa del Mundo 2018" CRON_SCHEDULE="*/30 * * * *" node index.js instagram-pic
CRON_SCHEDULE="0 23 * * *" node index.js coperos

What you have to do
