Script (bot) solution to detect an expired date in HTML

Here's what I am trying to do:

I have an events directory with hundreds of events.

I can stream the dates of each event onto a simple HTML page with the date that the event happened.

What I'd like is that there is a trigger to when an event has expired which can be determined by the HTML on the page. So for example:

<p>This ABC event is on May 25th 2020</p>

This date has obviously passed so the bot (running once a day) would see that ABC event has been and therefore trigger an action like sending an email.

Any idea of a platform or tool that could make this happen?

Thanks!

PS I should also add that I am using WordPress

Simple php could do this.

Just search how to use DOMDocument and then just do a simple if statement and mail function.

You’ll need to have basic php knowledge for this, which can be learnt fairly easily.

Thanks, really appreciate the reply. I guess easy solution is to hire a PHP developer - or is there a tool you can think of? I checked out Ubot but it seems overkill for such a "simple" job

You could, but you’d have to be cautious hiring a developer. I’m sure there is a tool out there that someone may know. If you don’t find any solution by tomorrow then I could help you out for free, but I currently am quite busy.

Thanks - appreciate your replies
