I Built a Gumroad Telegram Sale Alert in 5 n8n Nodes

Description and use

Instant Gumroad sale alerts to Telegram using a 5‑node n8n workflow, eliminating polling delays and monthly fees.

Problem

Need instant notification of Gumroad sales instead of delayed email or polling

Outcome

Zero‑delay sale alerts on Telegram, no monthly fee, no polling, minimal nodes

Workflow

• Webhook: Gumroad Sale triggers on /webhook/gumroad-sale
• IF: Is a Sale? filters out test pings by checking sale_id
• Format Telegram Message builds alert text with product, buyer, time, and price
• Telegram: Send Alert posts to Telegram Bot API using env vars
• Respond: RespondToWebhook returns HTTP 200 to Gumroad

Evidence

Five nodes, one line
