Slash commands

You talk to the Football Nation bot with slash commands: type / in a channel, pick a Football Nation command and fill in its options. The bot answers in the same channel.

Overview

Who can use the commands

• By default every member can run every command, except /ping-role, which is for administrators only.
• On Pro and Max servers an admin can tick Make all commands admin only commands under Permissions on the dashboard. Other members then get You are not the admin. /predict stays open to everyone, so the prediction game keeps working.
• The /live commands, /doctor, /set-language and /ping-role work in normal text channels, not in threads.
• For /live the bot needs the Send Messages and Manage Webhooks permissions in the channel.

/live

Follow a team, league or cup in the current channel. From then on the bot posts the live events of its matches here. Start typing and pick a suggestion: the list shows the country between brackets, so you can tell teams with similar names apart.

/live name:jupiler-pro-league

The bot confirms and tells you when the first notification will arrive:

• Run /live again to add more teams, leagues and cups to the same channel.
• In a channel with a scoreboard, /live adds the team or league to the scoreboard instead of turning on notifications.
• Can't find the exact name? See how to find the name to use.
• Which events are posted is set per server in the notification settings (Pro and Max).

/live-stop

Stop following one team, league or cup in the current channel. Use the same name as with /live.

/live-stop name:club-brugge-kv

/live-stop-all

Stop following everything in the current channel at once. There is no confirmation step, so run /live-list first if you are not sure.

/live-stop-all

/live-list

List the leagues, cups and teams the current channel follows, with the number of each in the title. Long lists are split into pages of 20: use the « Previous and Next » buttons.

/live-list

/live-upcoming

Show the next matches of the teams, leagues and cups the current channel follows.

/live-upcoming

• Pro and Max: the first page shows the next five matches of everything together. Buttons take you to a page per league, cup or team, and All brings you back.
• Free: one block per league, cup or team with its next matches, in one message.

/live-now

Show up to five matches of the followed teams and leagues that are being played right now, with the score and when they started. 1/2 or 2/2 marks the first or second leg of a two-legged tie, and P a match that can end in a penalty shootout.

/live-now

No match on? The bot says so and points you to /live-upcoming.

/league-table

Show the standings of a league. On free servers the bot shows the top five with a button to the full table on the website. Premium servers get an image of the complete table. Cups have no table.

/league-table league:premier-league

Want the table posted automatically every week? Use a league table automation (Max).

/league-streaks

Show the five longest current winning, losing, draw and unbeaten streaks in a league. Not available for cups.

/league-streaks league:premier-league

/set-language

Change the language of the live notifications in the current channel. Choose from English, Arabic, Brazilian Portuguese, Dutch, French, German, Greek, Hungarian, Polish, Spanish and Turkish. Other channels keep their own language.

/set-language language:German

/ping-role

Mention a role with every notification in the current channel, so members who want to follow closely get a ping. Pick the role from the list, or choose Disable pinging to stop. Picking the server's @everyone role pings everyone.

/ping-role role:Matchday

• Administrators only.
• The bot needs the Manage Roles and Mention @everyone, @here and All Roles permissions.
• /ping-role role:disable also turns it off.

/doctor

Notifications stopped in a channel? Run /doctor there. The bot checks the webhook it uses to post notifications and answers with one of these:

/doctor

• Ping successful! The webhook works. If notifications still don't arrive, check what the channel follows with /live-list and your notification settings.
• No webhook found, then Webhook created! The webhook was missing and the bot made a new one. Notifications work again.
• Failed to create webhook! Give the bot the Manage Webhooks permission in the channel and run /doctor again.

Still stuck? Ask in the support server.

/predict

Enter your predictions for the upcoming matches of the prediction game in this channel. The bot keeps asking until you have predicted every open match. The game itself is set up on the dashboard: see the prediction game guide.

/predict
