Federal tenders move on a clock — closing windows often run just a couple of weeks from posting. When a new tender matches the services on your CrewFinder profile, your team gets an email about it shortly after.
What's in the email
A short heads-up for each matched tender:
- A short description of the work
- Closing date
- State or province
- Disclosed value, if any
- The service category we matched on
And a button: View on CrewFinder →. Sign in to see the full details — buyer, scope, and the link to the official tender portal where you submit your bid.
How often you'll get one
At most one email per workspace every six hours. If more tenders match in that window, they share the next email rather than each triggering their own.
Most claimed workspaces will see a tender-match email a few times a week, not a few times a day. See how matches work for what gets you to the top of the list.
Who on your team gets it
Every member of your CrewFinder workspace who has accepted their invite and left the toggle on. Pending invites don't get tender alerts. If a teammate is already on CrewFinder when a new tender lands, they'll see it on the page and won't get a duplicate email.
Turning it off
- Just tender-match alerts: open Settings → Notifications on your workspace and switch off "Email me when a new federal tender matches my shop". The preference is per-user — it applies across every CrewFinder workspace you belong to.
- Every CrewFinder email: click Unsubscribe in any email footer. To resume later, click any new sign-in email link.
Suggesting more notifications
A closing-this-week alert and a weekly digest are coming next. If there's a specific notification you'd find useful, email hello@crewfinder.info and we'll add it to the list.
