What is it?

About Gumroad

Gumroad is one of the Billing / Subscriptions / Tax platforms BeforeQuery connects to. Once linked, the platform's data becomes a first-class source for grounded AI answers and a target for policy-gated agent actions — the same identity, approval, and audit-log guarantees every other integration ships with.

    In the BeforeQuery dashboard, go to Integrations → Billing / Subscriptions / Tax and select Gumroad.

  2. Step 02

  3. Step 03

Use cases

What teams actually do with the Gumroad integration

Customer billing Q&A

Customer asks in-app: "why was I charged $X?" → BeforeQuery pulls the Gumroad invoice, explains the line items in plain language, and offers self-serve refund/credit options if policy allows.

Failed-payment recovery

Gumroad reports a failed charge → BeforeQuery emails the customer with an update-payment link, retries per your dunning schedule, and escalates to CS + AE if the account is high-value.

Refund workflow

Support agent needs to issue a refund → BeforeQuery pulls Gumroad charge details, applies your refund policy, routes to finance approver above the threshold, executes the refund, and posts a confirmation to the customer.

Answer questions grounded in Gumroad

Employees and customers ask Gumroad-related questions in Slack, Teams, or the widget — BeforeQuery answers with the exact Gumroad record shown alongside the response. No context switching, no "log into Billing / Subscriptions / Tax to check" round-trips.

Gumroad — Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about connecting BeforeQuery to Gumroad.

Refunds under a configurable threshold (e.g., $50) can be autopilot for known-good customer patterns. All refunds are logged with the acting agent, the reason, the specific Gumroad charge, and are reversible only via a re-charge (visible to the customer).
Standard OAuth 2.0 where Gumroad supports it, otherwise API-key or bearer-token auth. Credentials are stored encrypted at rest (AES-256-GCM) per workspace, never shared across customers, and rotated on request. The connection is scoped to the least-privilege set of scopes each playbook needs — you approve the scope list on install.
No. Your Gumroad data feeds only your workspace's own agents and answers. Nothing is used to train a shared model, and nothing crosses workspace boundaries. Bring-your-own-model is available on Enterprise if you want to pin inference to your own OpenAI / Anthropic / self-hosted deployment.
Yes. Every Gumroad integration is scoped at install time — you pick which resources, users, or record types are visible. You can further restrict per-playbook: a single playbook only touches the specific Gumroad objects it needs. Scope changes take effect on the next sync.
Every write is logged with the acting user, the playbook that fired it, the exact operation, the target entity IDs, and the timestamp — all in the immutable audit log. Writes are rehearsable in simulation mode against a copy of live data before they touch Gumroad for real.
