Connect n8n

n8n can take every TenderSignal match, deadline reminder or change and start a workflow from it, so it can be stored, routed or turned into a task without anyone copying it across. The link between them is a webhook: your Webhook node gives you an address, and TenderSignal sends events to it.

This needs the Pro or Business plan. See Set up a webhook for how webhooks work in general.

Connect n8n

In n8n

1. Add a Webhook node to your workflow.
2. Set the HTTP method to POST.
3. Copy the node's production URL.

In TenderSignal

1. Open Settings, then Integrations.
2. Under Alerts in your tools, find the card headed Webhooks and press Connect.
3. Paste the address into the Webhook URL box.
4. Optionally add a name in Name (optional), such as "n8n workflow".
5. Under Send these events, tick the events you want to receive.
6. Press Save connection.
7. Press Send test event and check the result in the send log.

Back in n8n

Once the test has arrived, you can use its fields in the rest of your workflow.

Which events can I send?

On Pro you can send New matches, Deadline reminders, Renewals in your sectors and Changes to watched tenders. Business accounts also see Competitor awards and Tender watched. You can change the ticked events at any time.

Each message names its event, so one workflow can branch on it. Alternatively, press Add another to create a second connection pointing at a different workflow.

Check that it is working

On the Webhooks card, press Send log on your connection to see recent sends, with the result and any error detail. A connection that cannot reach n8n shows Failing.

Good to know

• TenderSignal sends each event as an HTTPS POST with a JSON body, which is why the Webhook node is set to POST.
• If your n8n runs on a server of your own, its address must use HTTPS on the standard HTTPS port (443) and be reachable from the public internet. Addresses on private or internal networks are refused when you save.
• Use Pause to stop messages for a while and Resume to start them again.
• The webhook guide lists every event with an example message, and explains how to check the signature.
