SAM.gov, TED, and Shopify App Store changes, in Slack
A free n8n, Make, or Zapier template posts new SAM.gov and TED (Tenders Electronic Daily) tenders and Shopify App Store competitor app changes to a Slack incoming webhook once a day. The files are free, and Apify Free includes $5/month credit with no card: Procurement Radar is $0.003 per tender plus a $0.00005 start, and the Shopify tracker is $0.002 per app in apps mode or $0.002 per keyword-rank row plus the start fee.

n8n files are workflow JSON (07:00 for tenders, 08:00 for Shopify). Make and Zapier files are the same loop written as steps: start the actor, continue only when the run succeeds, format the rows, POST { "text" } to the Slack incoming webhook. Tender input sets sources to sam and ted, TED CPV codes 72000000 and 48000000, SAM.gov NAICS 541511 and 541512, and onlyNew. Shopify input is apps mode on the handles in the file.
The n8n JSON uses HTTP, so it imports without extra nodes. The same input runs on the n8n Apify node (@apify/n8n-nodes-apify). An Apify schedule on public task eu-it-software-tenders-daily (RjTGcbPmC75xsQ2zp) or shopify-competitor-app-pricing-tracker (eDYnvSo1X4SqpPIRx) can run the actor, and n8n, Make, or Zapier then only reads the dataset and posts to Slack. Set APIFY_TOKEN and SLACK_WEBHOOK_URL. SAM.gov also needs SAM_API_KEY. TED runs without that key.
Actors: Procurement Radar and Shopify App Store Keyword Rank Tracker & Scraper. Longer setup: daily government tenders (SAM.gov and TED) and Shopify App Store keyword rankings.

Public task shopify-competitor-app-pricing-tracker (eDYnvSo1X4SqpPIRx). 3 rows. pricingChanged is null on each, so Make posts baseline captured and Zapier posts 0 changes. n8n still lists the apps. Plan currency and billing interval are omitted where the row has null.

0 changesFAQ
What do I configure besides the file?
An Apify API token and a Slack incoming webhook. SAM.gov also needs a SAM.gov API key. TED (Tenders Electronic Daily) runs without one. The Shopify tracker runs without a Shopify account.
What are the CPV codes in the tender templates?
TED classifies notices with CPV codes. These templates request 72000000 and 48000000 (IT services and software). SAM.gov rows are filtered with NAICS 541511 and 541512.
Can I use the n8n Apify node or an Apify schedule?
Yes. The n8n JSON calls the Apify HTTP API so it imports on stock n8n. The same input works on the n8n Apify node (@apify/n8n-nodes-apify). An Apify schedule on task eu-it-software-tenders-daily (RjTGcbPmC75xsQ2zp) or shopify-competitor-app-pricing-tracker (eDYnvSo1X4SqpPIRx) can run the actor; n8n, Make, or Zapier then only posts the dataset to Slack.
What lands in Slack when nothing changed?
Tender templates post a zero-count line. Shopify templates prefer rows with pricingChanged. On a first apps-mode run, onlyNew has no prior hash, so you get a short baseline instead of a change list. Failures post a warning to the same Slack incoming webhook.
