FAQ
Questions about Subscription Updated.
How does the Subscription Updated trigger work in Gumroad?
Fires on subscription field changes — payment method, plan, status. For tracking customer-state evolution in downstream reporting.
Is the Subscription Updated trigger real-time?
Yes. Subscription Updated uses webhooks or push subscriptions, not polling. Your workflow fires within seconds of the event happening in Gumroad.
What data does Subscription Updated return?
The full event payload from Gumroad. The output shape table on this page lists every field, its type, and an example value so you can map fields into downstream nodes.
Can I filter Subscription Updated so only some events start a workflow?
Yes. Add a Filter node right after the trigger and match on any field, whether that's subject, sender, status, or anything else in the payload. Workflows only continue when the filter passes.
Do I need Gumroad admin permissions to use Subscription Updated?
For most Gumroad accounts a standard user can authorize the trigger. Some Gumroad plans require an admin to enable third-party webhooks. Check Gumroad's docs if the trigger fails to register.
