Slack integration: tender alerts in your channels

• New tender matches: one message per new match for every alert that has Slack turned on, with the alert name, the tender title and key details, a link to the notice and the match score.
• Bid-workspace activity: new comments, section status changes and new tasks, posted to the default channel with a link back to the workspace.
• A test message, so you can check a channel before you rely on it.

1. Go to Settings → Integrations → Slack and click Connect Slack workspace.
2. Approve the permissions Slack asks for: send messages to channels, read workspace information and view your profile.
3. Choose the default channel. Workspace activity goes here.
4. Open an alert, turn on Slack and choose the channel that alert should post to. Use the test button to confirm that the message arrives.

If you are not allowed to install apps in your Slack workspace, paste a Slack incoming-webhook URL under Settings → Notifications instead. Tenderen then posts the notifications it sends you — new matches, deadline reminders and changes to tenders you follow — to that channel.

• Nothing arrives: check that the alert has Slack turned on and a channel selected. Slack only receives what the alert finds, so an alert with no new matches stays quiet.
• A private channel stays empty: add the Tenderen app to that channel in Slack, then send a test message again.
• Messages stopped after a colleague left: the connection belongs to the person who connected Slack. Reconnect from an account that is still active.
• Messages are in the wrong language: the channel uses the language of the person who connected Slack.

• Slack and Microsoft Teams notifications are part of the Pro and Enterprise plans. The Free plan sends alerts as a daily email digest.
• Notifications are one-way. You cannot save, comment on or change a tender from Slack.
• New tenders are matched against alerts every 15 minutes after they enter Tenderen's index.

Can different alerts post to different channels?

Yes. Every alert has its own Slack channel setting, so you can send IT tenders to one channel and construction tenders to another.

Does the Slack integration read our messages?

No. Tenderen only posts messages. The permissions cover sending messages, reading basic workspace information (such as the channel list) and your profile.
