To begin with, you need to access Pabbly Connect to set up your automation. First, go to the Pabbly website and sign up for a free trial account. This process is quick and allows you to start integrating applications seamlessly.

Once logged in, navigate to the Pabbly Connect dashboard. Here, you will create a new workflow specifically for sending SMS notifications to customers who purchase products on Gumroad. Click on the ‘Create Workflow’ button and name your workflow appropriately.

2. Creating the Trigger with Gumroad

In this section, you will set up the trigger event using Pabbly Connect. Select Gumroad as your application and choose the event as ‘New Sale.’ This event triggers whenever a customer makes a purchase.

• Select Gumroad from the app list.
• Choose ‘New Sale’ as the trigger event.
• Copy the generated webhook URL.

After copying the webhook URL, go to your Gumroad settings. In the advanced settings, paste the URL into the ping field. This allows Gumroad to communicate with Pabbly Connect and send sales data whenever a purchase occurs.

3. Capturing Purchase Data from Gumroad

Once the webhook is set up, you need to test it to capture the purchase data. Click on the ‘Send Test Ping’ button in Gumroad, which sends the latest sale data to Pabbly Connect. You should see confirmation that the data has been received.

The captured data includes essential information such as the customer’s name, email, mobile number, and the product purchased. This data is crucial for sending personalized SMS confirmations to your customers.

Ensure that the mobile number field is correctly mapped; this is where the SMS will be sent. You can verify this by checking the data captured in Pabbly Connect after the test ping.

4. Sending SMS Notifications via Twilio

Now that you have the purchase data, it’s time to set up Twilio in your workflow to send SMS notifications. In Pabbly Connect, select Twilio as your action application and choose the ‘Send SMS’ event.

• Connect your Twilio account by entering the Account SID and Authorization Token.
• Compose your SMS message using the captured data from Gumroad.
• Map the recipient’s mobile number to ensure the SMS goes to the right customer.

After setting up the SMS body, click on ‘Save and Send Test Request’ to send a test SMS. You should see a confirmation that the message was sent successfully, allowing you to verify that your automation works as intended.

5. Finalizing the Automation Workflow

Your workflow is now complete! Review the entire process in Pabbly Connect to ensure everything is set up correctly. You can also save your workflow and use it for future sales.

With this automation, every time a customer makes a purchase on Gumroad, they will receive an SMS confirmation automatically. This not only enhances customer experience but also saves you time.
