Automate Gumroad

Creators on Gumroad sell ebooks, templates, courses and memberships, and want to know when a sale lands, when a buyer asks for a refund, when a member cancels or when a payment is disputed. ClickRuntime picks up those Gumroad pings and turns them into a Slack post, an instant email or one evening roundup. Ask your AI assistant for the alert you have in mind, check its plan, and after that every sale and dispute is covered without you refreshing the dashboard.

Try asking

Create a ClickRuntime automation: whenever I make a sale on Gumroad, post the product name and price to #sales in Slack.

Paste it into your assistant. It tells you what it will send or change before it runs live.

Ideas

What you can automate in Gumroad

A Slack post for each sale, an evening email totalling the day per product, and instant emails for refunds, cancelled memberships and disputed payments. These are ready-made starting points. Anything else you can describe works too.

Build your own

Build any Gumroad automation you can describe

The ideas above are ready-made starting points, not a fixed list. Describe what Gumroad should do in your own words, with your conditions, other apps or an AI step, and your assistant writes it, tests it and runs it on ClickRuntime.

  • Your own rules

    Conditions, thresholds, filters and exceptions, written the way you'd explain them to a colleague.

  • Any number of apps

    One automation can read from one app and update several others. Over 248 apps are ready, and anything with an API works too.

  • AI where it helps

    Summaries, classification, extraction and drafts use ClickRuntime's built-in AI, with no extra key.

  • On a schedule or on each event

    Runs as often as every 5 minutes, or the moment an app sends an event, and keeps track of what it already handled.

For example, ask your assistant

Every Sunday, send me a summary of my Gumroad sales for the week, with revenue per product and any refunds.

When I make a sale on Gumroad, add the buyer email and product to my Google Sheet.

When someone buys my course on Gumroad, add them to Mailchimp, post a welcome in my Discord channel, and log the sale in Notion.

Beyond chat

Have Gumroad work when you're not in the chat

Connecting Gumroad to ChatGPT or Claude lets you ask about it while you chat. ClickRuntime handles the part that should happen on its own: checks on a schedule and actions on each new event, set up from the same chat and running after you close it.

Setup

Connect Gumroad

Gumroad connects with an access token from an application you create in your own Gumroad settings. It only covers your account, needs no review, and ClickRuntime sends it as the `access_token` parameter.

Gumroad

Creator commerce

  1. In Gumroad, open Settings, then Advanced, then Applications.
  2. Create an application with a name and icon. Any redirect URI works, for example http://127.0.0.1.
  3. Click Generate access token and copy it.
  4. In the ClickRuntime dashboard, open Connections & secrets and save the token as a secret for Gumroad.

Good to know

Gumroad limits that affect automations

  • Gumroad access tokens don't expire. They stay valid until you revoke them in your Gumroad settings.
  • The token covers only your own Gumroad account, not other creators' stores.
  • Gumroad's API is small, so most automations rely on the pings Gumroad sends for sales, refunds, cancellations and disputes rather than on searching past data.

FAQ

Questions about automating Gumroad

How does ClickRuntime find out about a new Gumroad sale?
Gumroad sends a ping to the link ClickRuntime gives you each time something sells. The sale is posted or saved within moments, with no polling.
Can it tell me about refunds and cancelled memberships?
Yes. Refunds and membership cancellations each trigger their own ping, and the alert emails you the details as soon as one arrives.
What's in a dispute alert?
The dispute ping carries the sale details, so the email includes the product, the buyer's email and the amount in question, which helps you respond quickly.
Do I have to reconnect Gumroad every few months?
No. The access token keeps working until you revoke it. If you do revoke it, generate a new one and replace the saved secret.
Is AI used for Gumroad alerts?
Not for these. They pass along sales and totals. Every ClickRuntime plan includes AI if you'd like extras such as a weekly note on which products are trending, and you don't need your own AI key.
Is this a Gumroad connector for ChatGPT or Claude?
Not for chatting with Gumroad data. A chat connector lets your assistant read and change Gumroad while you're in the conversation. ClickRuntime is for the work that should happen without you: you set up an automation from the chat once, and it keeps running on a schedule or on each Gumroad event.
