# Sell to State + Activepieces

*Source: [https://www.selltostate.com/integrations/activepieces/](https://www.selltostate.com/integrations/activepieces/)*

The Sell to State piece adds tender, buyer and supplier actions to Activepieces, and a New Tender trigger that starts a flow when Sell to State adds tenders that match your search.

## What you can do

- Start a flow when Sell to State adds tenders that match your search, by text and country.
- Search tenders by text, country and deadline status.
- Find the companies that win contracts for a subject, or one company by name.
- Get a buyer profile or a supplier profile.
- Call any endpoint of the Sell to State API with the Custom API Call action.

## Set up

1. **Install the piece.** In Activepieces, go to Settings, then My Pieces, and select Install Piece. Enter this package name and select Install.

   ```
   @selltostate/piece-sell-to-state
   ```
2. **Connect your account.** Add a Sell to State step to a flow. Create a connection and paste an API key from your Sell to State account.
3. **Build a flow.** Use the New Tender trigger to start on new tenders, or an action to search tenders, buyers and suppliers.

## Flow ideas

- "New UK tenders for payroll software go to a Slack channel."
- "Open tenders in Ireland about cybersecurity go to a Google Sheet."
- "A supplier profile goes to your CRM when a new deal starts."

## Requirements

- An Activepieces account that can install pieces (Settings, My Pieces). On a team platform, a platform admin installs it.
- An API key from your Sell to State account.
- A Sell to State account with an active plan. The tools return data only for an active plan.
- Data depth differs by country. The countries page shows what each country has.

## Questions

**Is the piece in the Activepieces catalog?** Not yet. Install it by its npm package name with the steps on this page. The actions and the data are the same.

**Where does the data come from?** From official government procurement sources, for example Find a Tender and Contracts Finder (UK), TED (EU) and national portals. Each tender links to its official notice.
