# Recipes ## Automatically tweet a prediction for a match 30 minutes before it starts ### Trigger * Make sure that you selected **Prediction** as a trigger for our action ![](https://2291015899-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-legacy-files/o/assets%2F-LSptjNWFuZaPDt1Y12e%2F-LTSpx7lwlTYzbOrfnwP%2F-LTSsqYASSAYY1_uut53%2FPredictionTrigger.png?alt=media\&token=b3234104-64b5-4152-8196-5ce1fb0ad664) * Use the credentials defined in [Connect to Zapier](https://developer.boggio-analytics.com/zapier-beta/connect-to-zapier) and click next until you reach **Set Up Options** ![](https://2291015899-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-legacy-files/o/assets%2F-LSptjNWFuZaPDt1Y12e%2F-LTSpx7lwlTYzbOrfnwP%2F-LTStOOzaZYFqnYpdUxu%2FPredictionOpts.png?alt=media\&token=69fb582a-28b2-4a61-bb4a-579d154c6196) * For the **prediction market** choose **Over 25** (or any other available prediction market) {% hint style="info" %} We will use Over 25 prediction market which predicts whether there will be more than or less than 2.5 goals scored in a match. The available markets depends on your Football Prediction API subscription. Details about each prediction market can be found [here](https://developer.boggio-analytics.com/getting-started/making-a-first-api-call#available-prediction-markets) {% endhint %} * Leave the **federation** field empty as we are interested in all available predictions. * **Minutes before start** set this to 30. (we want to post to twitter 30 minutes before the start of the actual match) * **Test this step** it is useful to have a sample for the current market {% hint style="warning" %} Make sure the **Minutes before start** is not higher than the maximum supported by your subscription: * 12 hours for BASIC (**Minutes before start** should be lower than 720) * 36 hours for PRO (**Minutes before start** should be lower than 2160) * 48 hours for ULTRA and MEGA (**Minutes before start** should be lower than 2880) {% endhint %} ### Action * Click **+Add a step** from the left panel and press **Action/Search** * Search for **Twitter** and choose **Create Tweet** * Connect to your **Twitter** account and **Edit Template** ![](https://2291015899-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-legacy-files/o/assets%2F-LSptjNWFuZaPDt1Y12e%2F-LTSpx7lwlTYzbOrfnwP%2F-LTSwW6l-tf9IqeivXV0%2Fimage.png?alt=media\&token=3732a1f1-01f4-4f72-9fb7-c68055113f56) * Write your template for the tweet, toggle **Setup Preview** to get an idea on how it would look based on the sampled prediction. * With the template in place, you are almost done. * A general recommendation is to click **Send Test To Twitter** to see the prediction actually posted to Twitter. {% hint style="info" %} When creating a Zap for the first time, Zapier will check all the available predictions for the **Minutes before start** you defined. It automatically makes sure it doesn't post the same prediction twice, that is why it will start considering new predictions after the initial interval defined. This means effectively that the recipe we just created will consider as new any match starting > 30 minutes from now. {% endhint %} ## Save tomorrow's predictions for UEFA to a Google Sheets spreadsheet {% hint style="danger" %} This recipe requires a PRO/ULTRA/MEGA Football Prediction API subscription to work as described here but can be made to work with BASIC as well. BASIC subscription only permits "seeing" predictions for matches that are starting in 12 hours max and won't be able to see "tomorrow" predictions as that would be 24 hours ahead. If you want to use BASIC and Google Sheets you can follow the [Trigger](#trigger) steps for the Twitter recipe and use the Google Sheets Action described below. {% endhint %} ### Trigger * Make sure that you selected **Tomorrow's Predictions** as a trigger for our action ![](https://2291015899-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-legacy-files/o/assets%2F-LSptjNWFuZaPDt1Y12e%2F-LTTLpC6vRbedUcexWMZ%2F-LTTR4gyf65zt3R9D2RI%2Fimage.png?alt=media\&token=9ef0095c-b747-4124-b491-8060449356d9) * Use the credentials defined in [Connect to Zapier](https://developer.boggio-analytics.com/zapier-beta/connect-to-zapier) and click next until you reach **Set Up Options** * For the **prediction market** choose **Over 35** {% hint style="info" %} We will use Over 35 prediction market which predicts whether there will be more than or less than 3.5 goals scored in a match.
