SendBeam and Gumroad

Add Gumroad buyers to SendBeam as contacts, so each product can have its own list.

Creators selling on Gumroad often want a list per product: buyers of an e-book, a course, a template pack. Connecting Gumroad to SendBeam adds each buyer as a contact and puts them on the list for what they bought.

Native integration: no

SendBeam has no Gumroad app of its own. The routes below connect the two through n8n, Make or Zapier today, with the SendBeam node in n8n doing the SendBeam side for you.

How it works

  1. Pick your automation tool. n8n with the official SendBeam node, Make or Zapier. Each connects to Gumroad with its own trigger, shown below.
  2. Create an API key. Settings → API keys in SendBeam, with contacts:write, and lists:write if the workflow adds people to a list. The full key is shown once. To send SendBeam events out instead, add an endpoint under Settings → Webhooks.
  3. Map the fields and test. Map the fields between Gumroad and SendBeam, run the workflow once with your own address, and check the result before switching it on.

Code

In n8n: Gumroad to SendBeam

n8n workflow 
1. Gumroad Trigger, with the resource Sale
2. SendBeam → Contact → Create or update
     Email       the buyer's email from step 1
     First name  the first name, if there is one
     Source      gumroad
3. SendBeam → Contact → Add to list
     Contact     By email, the same expression as step 2
     List        From list, then pick the list by name

Install the SendBeam node from Settings → Community nodes (n8n-nodes-sendbeam). Adding someone who is already a contact, or already on the list, succeeds, so the workflow is safe to re-run.

In Make: Gumroad to the REST API

Make scenario 
Module 1: the Gumroad module that watches for new sales
Module 2: HTTP → Make a request
URL:          https://sendbeam.io/api/v1/contacts
Method:       POST
Headers:      x-api-key = sb_live_XXXXXXXX_YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY
Body type:    Raw
Content type: JSON (application/json)
Request content:
{
  "email": "{{1.email}}",
  "first_name": "{{1.first_name}}",
  "source": "gumroad"
}

Replace {{1.email}} and {{1.first_name}} with the buyer's email and the name, mapped from module 1. A 409 answer means the contact already exists; route it to GET /api/v1/contacts?q= with the same address if you need the contact's id.

In Zapier: Gumroad to the REST API

Zap 
Trigger  Gumroad's trigger for new sales
Action   Webhooks by Zapier → POST
URL           https://sendbeam.io/api/v1/contacts
Payload type  json
Data
  email       the buyer's email
  first_name  the first name
  source      gumroad
Headers
  x-api-key   sb_live_XXXXXXXX_YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

Webhooks by Zapier is available on Zapier's paid plans. The SendBeam app for Zapier will replace this step with a Create Contact action once it is listed in Zapier's directory.

Things to know

  • Use the product name from the sale to choose the list or the tag, so each product's buyers can be emailed on their own.
  • Only add people to a marketing list if they agreed to hear from you. Someone who only bought or booked can still get receipts and reminders through Send transactional.
