# Save a tender search. Get new matches by email.

*Source: [https://www.selltostate.com/features/saved-search-alerts/](https://www.selltostate.com/features/saved-search-alerts/)*

A saved search runs again on every data update. When new tenders or awards match it, you get an email with the count and a link to the results.

## Prompt for your AI agent

```
1. Sign me in yourself. Try this first: you need me only for one approval click.
- If you can send HTTP requests: POST https://app.selltostate.com/api/v1/agent/signup with JSON {"client_name": "<your app name>"}. Show me verification_uri_complete from the reply as a link. I open it, sign up free with Google or email, and approve the code. Every "interval" seconds, POST token_endpoint with {"device_code": "<device_code>"} until the reply has access_token. Send access_token in the x-api-key header to the MCP server https://app.selltostate.com/api/mcp.
- If you cannot send HTTP requests: tell me to add the MCP server https://app.selltostate.com/api/mcp in this app. Its sign-in page also creates the free account.

Claude Code: claude mcp add --transport http selltostate https://app.selltostate.com/api/mcp, then /mcp > Authenticate.
2. The tools are free to connect. A free account gets plan_search 3 times a day and search for 2 different searches a day: titles, buyers, status and dates. Amounts, winners and notice links need a plan. Call whoami to see my plan. Read the skill at https://www.selltostate.com/skills/selltostate-saved-search-alerts/SKILL.md.
3. Test a Sell to State search for <what my company sells> in <countries>, save it, and give me its name and the link https://app.selltostate.com/alerts where I turn on the email alert.

## Any search can be an alert

Save the words, the countries and the filters that you use. Turn on the email alert for that search. Make one saved search for each product line, region or client.

## What the email says

How many new open tenders and new awards match the search, with a link to them. Open the tenders that look right and add them to a list for your team.

## Alerts for your agent too

Your AI agent can build and save a search through the MCP server (save_search) and read your saved searches. You turn on the email alert in the app. Through the API or n8n, new matches can also go to your CRM or chat.

## How it works

1. Run a search: Words, countries, filters.
2. Save it: Give it a name.
3. Turn on the alert: Email when new rows match.
4. Act on the match: Open, list, bid.

## Who uses it

- Bid teams that track one product line in many countries
- Founders who check public demand once a week
- Consultants who watch tenders for several clients

## Questions

### How often do alerts arrive?

The data updates every day. A saved search emails you when new rows match it, daily or weekly. The search that we build from your website at signup has a weekly alert.

### Can I stop an alert?

Yes. Turn off the alert of a saved search in the app, or use the unsubscribe link in the email.
