Gorgias

How the integration works

Our goal with our Gorgias integration is to allow you to manage all of your Emotive conversations right from within Gorgias. 

1. New conversations that happen in Emotive create tickets in Gorgias
2. All customer responses from Emotive are added to the same, open ticket in Gorgias
3. Conversations that Emotive starts with customers will sync to provide context for where the conversation was handed off to Gorgias
4. Responding to a ticket in Gorgias sends a message via Emotive to the customer
5. Closing a ticket in Gorgias closes a Conversation in Emotive
6. When we learn the customers name from an order or an abandoned checkout, we'll update the user profile in Gorgias with their first and last name on the next ticket that is opened
7. All new tickets are tagged emotive for easier filtering and conversation management in Gorgias
8. Sending images to a customer via Gorgias
9. Opting out a customer via Gorgias commands

Setup your Gorgias account

We'll need to first setup our integration in Emotive and then add our webhooks to the Gorgias account.

 

Obtain your REST API credentials from Gorgias

1. Navigate to Gorgias > Settings > Rest API.
2. Input credentials in Emotive
   • API Key
   • Base API URL
   • Username

Changes to be made in Gorgias Account

1. Navigate to Settings.
2. Select Integrations.
3. Setup webhooks with instructions below.

Step 1: Ticket Message Created Webhook
This webhook lets Emotive know when a new ticket message (ie. a response to a customer) is added to a ticket.

Create an HTTP Integration with following parameters.
Name – Emotive Integration.
Trigger - Ticket Message Created  ** (important, make sure that this is Ticket Message Created) **
URL - https://www.emotiveapp.co/api/gorgias/webhook
HTTP Method – POST

    "ticketId": "{{ticket.id}}",
    "brand": "{{ticket.meta.baseUrl}}",
    "message_status": "{{ticket.status}}",
    "subject": "{{ticket.subject}}",
    "message_sent": "{{message}}",
    "from_agent": "{{message.from_agent}}",
    "internal_note": "{{message.public}}",
    "message_attachments": "{{message.attachments}}",
    "message_body": "{{message.stripped_text}}"
}

Step 2: Ticket Updated Webhook
This webhook let's Emotive know that a ticket in Gorgias has been updated.

Create another HTTP Integration with following parameters
Name – Emotive Webhook
Trigger – Ticket Updated ** (important, make sure that this is Ticket Updated) **
URL- https://www.emotiveapp.co/api/gorgias/webhook

Request/Response Content-Type – application/json

   "message_status":"{{ticket.status}}",
   "subject":"{{ticket.subject}}"
}
