Every morning the Schedule Trigger starts the workflow.\n2. The **Settings** node holds your CPV codes, optional keywords and buyer countries.\n3. The **Public Tenders Search** Actor on Apify (`plainrows/public-tenders-search`) searches EU TED, UK Find a Tender and UK Contracts Finder for notices still open for bids, with **Only new notices** on: it remembers the notices it already delivered, so each run returns only new ones.\n4. A Code node builds one message with title, buyer, country, value in EUR, deadline and the official link.\n5. The message is posted to Slack. No new tender, no message.\n\n### Requirements\n- An Apify account (free plan available) and its API token.\n- A Slack workspace and the Slack credential in n8n.\n- The Apify node is the verified community node `@apify/n8n-nodes-apify` (available on n8n Cloud; on self-hosted n8n install it from Settings > Community nodes).\n\n### How to customize\n- Edit `cpvCodes` (comma-separated, e.g. `72000000` for IT services, `79340000` for marketing), `keywords` (one per line, optional) and `countries` (comma-separated, empty = all) in **Settings**.\n- Use a new `monitorName` to start a fresh history.\n- Replace Slack with Gmail, Microsoft Teams or Google Sheets using the same fields.\n\nYou pay mainly for new notices, plus a small start fee per run (see the Actor's Pricing tab); the node's *Maximum Cost per Run* caps every run.",
