Quick overview

This workflow runs every weekday morning and calls an Apify actor to fetch newly published German construction tenders that include GAEB bill-of-quantities positions, then formats each tender into a readable summary with keyword hit snippets for downstream use.

How it works

  1. Runs at 07:00 (Europe/Berlin) every Monday to Friday.
  2. Sends a POST request to the Apify API to run the “german-construction-tenders-gaeb” actor synchronously with filters such as publication window, CPV prefixes, keywords, GAEB-only, and maximum tender count.
  3. Parses the returned dataset items and, for each tender, extracts key fields like buyer, submission deadline, location, GAEB position count, and documents URL.
  4. Matches keyword hits against GAEB positions and generates short text excerpts/snippets around the first matched keyword to provide context.
  5. Outputs one formatted item per tender, including a prebuilt multi-line message summarizing the tender and up to five keyword-hit positions.

Setup

  1. Create an Apify account, get an API token, and replace YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN in the Apify request URL (or store it as an n8n HTTP Query Auth credential parameter named token).
  2. Adjust the Apify request JSON body to set your desired filters (for example keywords, cpvPrefixes, pubDaysBack, and maxTenders).
  3. (Optional) Add region filters like postalCodePrefixes or nutsPrefixes to the Apify request body to narrow results and keep the sync run within the timeout.

Requirements

Customization

  • Filter by specific German postal code prefixes (postalCodePrefixes, e.g., ["10", "80"]), NUTS regions (nutsPrefixes), or custom product keywords inside GAEB .x83, .d83, and .p83 Bills of Quantities.

Additional info
