The Dotdigital Gorgias integration allows you to sync your Gorgias customer data into your Dotdigital account. Storing all of your contacts’ support ticket information in one Insight data collection allows you to segment and personalize your communications effectively.

The integration also offers the opportunity to use SMS replies into Dotdigital to trigger ticket creation in Gorgias. You can:

  • Choose whether to create tickets from replies to all numbers, or specific ones only.

  • Configure which teams in Gorgias to assign tickets to.

  • Set which tags to add to created tickets.

  • Define a subject line for new tickets created from SMS replies.


Before you start

Things you need to know:

  • You must have a Gorgias account.

  • If you choose to sync contacts, the integration creates a list in your Dotdigital account called Gorgias Customers.

  • If you choose to sync support ticket information, the integration syncs support ticket information as insight data.

  • The integration syncs data every hour.

  • If you want to be able to create tickets from SMS replies, you must have an inbound SMS route set up in Dotdigital.

  • The Gorgias SMS channel is only available in certain regions.
