The Email a thank-you via Gmail when a Fourthwall donation is received workflow on the FlowMattic canvas, with 2 steps across Fourthwall, Gmail — The workflow as it appears in the builder after import. Each step opens for editing.

What this workflow does

Creators who take donations on Fourthwall often want to thank each supporter personally. Writing every email by hand gets harder as donations add up, and some get missed. This workflow sends the thank-you as soon as Fourthwall reports the donation.

The Fourthwall trigger fires when a donation is made. FlowMattic passes the donation data, such as the supporter's name, email and message if Fourthwall includes them, to Gmail. The Send Email step then sends a message from your connected Gmail account to the address you map.

You write the email once, with placeholders for the supporter's details, and every donor gets their own copy. Because it comes from your Gmail address, replies land in your inbox like any other conversation. Task History records each run, so you can check who was emailed.

After importing, map your own data. To keep the template universal, not every step is pre-filled. Open each step in the builder and connect your accounts and fields (channels, lists, sheets, recipients) before you switch the workflow on.

Make it yours

Changes worth making after you import it.

Add a Filter that continues only when the donor's email is not empty, in case Fourthwall reports a donation without an address.
Add a Google Sheets step after Gmail to keep a list of donors and the thank-you emails you sent.
Make a small test donation after import so FlowMattic captures the Fourthwall fields you can map into the email.

Questions about this workflow

Which Gmail address sends the Fourthwall thank-you email?

Whichever Gmail mailbox you link to the Send Email step when importing. Replies from donors go to that inbox.

Does every Fourthwall donation get an email?

Yes, as imported. Each donation runs the workflow once. If the donation data has no email address, the Gmail step has nowhere to send it and Task History shows the error.

Can I include the donor's message or amount in the email?

If Fourthwall includes those values in the donation data, you can map them into the subject or body. Check after a test donation.
