Fully Automated Course Delivery System Using Gumroad → Make → Email

You created a course. You put it on Gumroad.

Now you want to give your students the "White Glove" experience.

* Instant access to the files.

* An invite to the private Discord.

* A welcome email series.

Doing this manually for every $50 sale is impossible.

Here is how to build the "Student Onboarding Machine."

Step 1: The Trigger (Gumroad)

* Make.com Trigger: Gumroad > Watch Sales.

* Filter: Product Name contains "Masterclass".

Step 2: The CRM (ConvertKit)

First, secure the contact.

* Module: ConvertKit > Add Subscriber.

* Tag: Student: Masterclass.

* Sequence: Start "Welcome Sequence".

Why? This ensures they get your 5-day email course that helps them actually finish the product they bought.

Step 3: The Community (Circle/Discord)

If you have a community, get them in while they are hot.

For Discord:

* Module: Discord > Add User Role (requires a bot) OR send them a unique invite link via email.

For Circle.so:

* Module: Circle > Invite Member.

* Space: "Students Only".

Seeing this in action makes a huge difference. Once configured, the interface provides a clear visual confirmation that your automation is running smoothly, giving you peace of mind that the system is working as intended.

Step 4: The "Personal" Video (Bonjoro)

This is the secret weapon.

* Module: Bonjoro > Create Task.

This adds a task to your phone. You get a notification: "New Student: Sarah."

You open the app, record a 15-second video: "Hey Sarah, thanks for joining! I saw you're a designer—can't wait to see what you build."

It takes you 20 seconds.

The Impact: Sarah is now a fan for life. Nobody expects a personal video from the creator.

Step 5: The Spreadsheet (Backup)

Always keep a backup.

* Module: Google Sheets > Add Row.

* Data: Name, Email, Amount Paid, Date.

This is useful for tax time or if you ever switch email platforms.

Handling Refunds

Automation isn't just for the happy path.

If someone refunds:

Trigger: Gumroad > Watch Refunds.

Action: ConvertKit > Remove Tag.

Action: Circle > Remove Member.

This keeps your community exclusive to paying members.

This small adjustment can have a significant impact on your overall workflow efficiency. It turns a manual, error-prone process into a reliable, set-it-and-forget-it system.

Conclusion

The "Product" is not just the video files. It's the experience of buying from you.

A smooth, instant, personalized onboarding experience turns a "customer" into a "student."
