Script comes with a debug mode, where you can pass a timeline.json and it prints messages to screen. Debug mode requires one time download of calendar to get team names.

You can set a cronjob to run at every minute to utilize this script.

First, you will need a Slack incoming webhook URL. Here's how to get it:

• Create an app at https://api.slack.com/apps?new_app=1
• Go to your app details page at https://api.slack.com
• Go to "Incoming webhooks" on left navigation, it will be there.

Post to slack incoming webhook URL.

perl world-cup-slack.pl --slack=https://hooks.slack.com/services/...

Process an existing JSON file for debug

perl world-cup-slack.pl --debug=12345678.json

Increase politeness sleep (defaults to 2 seconds)

perl world-cup-slack.pl --slack=... --sleep=10

Specify multiple Slack URLs to post to multiple workspaces

perl world-cup-slack.pl --slack=... --slack=...

Specify name and location of db.json file. This may be helpful if you are running multiple instances of script.

perl world-cup-slack.pl --slack=... --dbjson=/some/file.json

Testing by posting to Slack is also possible. Use following instructions.

• Remove your db.json file.
• Run script once with --slack argument provided.
• Go into db.json and manually update one of the "status:0" games to "status:3"
• Run script second time, it will collect events and keep them with "posted:0"
• Run script for third time. It will post all events at once.
