How to Build an Ethereum Merge Countdown Bot

The excitment is building for the merge! 🤩 Want to create some buzz with a countdown? This article will show you how to build a bot that posts how close we are to the main event on Discord, Twitter, and/or Telegram. No coding required!

Eth merge countdown to Discord

Let’s get started with the Discord version. Go to the Ethereum Merge Countdown to Discord bot recipe and click “Use This Recipe”: https://boto.io/bots/39456/

If you don’t already have a Boto.io account, you’ll be prompted to create one.

You’ll see 3 building blocks for your bot. On the right is the Discord block. Click the “plus” sign to connect the bot to your Discord Server.

Once that’s connected, decide how often you want this countdown alert to come through:

Now just save your bot and turn it on!

Now you’ll start seeing those updates in Discord 😎

Eth merge countdown to Twitter

To send the countdown alerts to Twitter, the process is pretty much the same as with Discord, except you authorize the bot to connect to Twitter instead of (and easier than) Discord.

Start with this recipe: https://boto.io/bots/39457/

(Note that to use the Twitter block, you’ll need a Boto Pro subscription, which includes a 7-day free trial: https://boto.io/pricing/)

Click the “plus” sign on the Twitter block to connect to your Twitter account:

Set the time period, save the bot, and turn it on!
