The agent-ready storefront for digital creators

EcommerceFinanceMarketingAutomationEmail

Gumroad is the direct-to-creator commerce platform where independent sellers publish ebooks, courses, templates, memberships, and software without a middleman. Connect it to Actionist and your agents can monitor every sale webhook in real time, manage licenses and subscriber tiers, issue refunds, rotate discount codes, and update product listings — turning your storefront into a fully automated revenue engine.

Eliminates manual work. The agent handles post-sale busywork — license delivery, CRM updates, refund processing, and offer-code rotation — that would otherwise require manual dashboard visits after every transaction.

Refund to re-engagement in 60 seconds

When a Gumroad refund webhook fires, your agent disables the license key, logs the reason in the support sheet, sends the buyer a personalised one-question satisfaction survey via Gmail, and books a 15-minute recovery call slot on Google Calendar — all before your inbox even refreshes. Refund friction drops to zero and every churned buyer gets a second chance at the right product.

FAQs

Questions about Gumroad + Actionist

What permissions does Actionist need on my Gumroad account?
Actionist requests read and write access to your products, sales, subscribers, licenses, and offer codes. It does not access your payout bank details or tax settings. You can revoke access at any time from Gumroad Settings → Advanced → Authorized applications.
Can the agent process refunds automatically without my approval?
Yes, but only if you configure a refund-automation workflow. By default the agent flags refund-eligible sales and awaits your confirmation. To enable fully automatic refunds, set a rule in your workflow — for example, 'auto-refund if purchase is under 30 days and product is a template'. The agent logs every refund action with a timestamp.
How does the Sale webhook handle duplicate events?
Gumroad can occasionally fire duplicate Sale webhooks for the same transaction. Actionist's trigger handler deduplicates by sale ID — if the same sale ID arrives within 60 seconds, the second event is silently dropped. Check the workflow run log if you suspect a missed event; each run records the sale ID it acted on.
Which Gumroad objects can the agent read vs. write?
Read: products, sales, subscribers, licenses, offer codes, creator profile, custom fields. Write: product details, license enable/disable, offer code create/delete, refund issue, creator profile bio. The agent cannot modify payout settings, billing methods, or tax information — those fields are not exposed by the Gumroad API.
Does the agent work with Gumroad membership products?
Yes. The subscriber endpoints cover all Gumroad membership tiers. The agent can list active subscribers, fetch individual subscription records including renewal dates, and react to Cancellation webhooks. Tier names (as you define them in Gumroad) are returned verbatim in the API response and can be used to branch workflow logic.
What happens if the Gumroad API rate limit is hit?
Gumroad's API applies a per-minute rate limit. If a workflow hits the limit, Actionist automatically retries with exponential backoff — up to three attempts over 90 seconds. If all retries fail, the workflow run is marked as 'Rate limited' in the log and a Slack alert is sent if you have that notification configured. No data is lost; the agent resumes from the failed step on the next retry.
Can I disconnect Gumroad without losing my workflow configurations?
Yes. Disconnecting revokes Actionist's OAuth token and pauses any Gumroad-triggered workflows, but the workflow definitions themselves are preserved. When you reconnect, the workflows resume automatically. Scheduled workflows that include Gumroad steps will be skipped (not deleted) during the disconnected period.
How does the agent verify a license key without triggering an activation?
Use the 'Verify license' action with the 'increment_uses_count' parameter set to false. This checks whether the key is valid and unused without consuming an activation slot — safe for support lookups or pre-activation health checks. The Disable/Enable license actions are the correct way to block or restore access without touching the use count.
