Overview
Moving from Anywhere365 to Gorgias is a category-layer migration. Anywhere365 is a CCaaS platform that routes voice, email, chat, WhatsApp, and SMS through customizable IVR flows and agent queues sitting above Microsoft Teams Phone System. Gorgias is a ticket-based helpdesk with deep Shopify and e-commerce integrations that handles the same channels through a unified agent inbox. There is no native migration path between them, and the structural shift from queue-based call routing to ticket-based case management is the central design challenge. We export agent identities from Anywhere365 UCC profiles, queue configurations from the Core REST API, interaction history with full metadata, and multichannel dialogue threads, then map these into Gorgias agents, routing rules, and tickets with custom fields carrying call-specific metadata. IVR dialogue trees and queue jukebox audio assets do not migrate as automation; we deliver a written inventory of every IVR flow and media asset for the customer's admin to rebuild inside Gorgias Rules or a third-party voice add-on.
Every standard and custom field arrives verified.

Object mapping
Each row shows how a Anywhere365 object lands in Gorgias, including any object-level transformations, lookup resolution, or schema-design dependencies.
Typical mapping — final map is confirmed during the sample migration step.
Anywhere365
UCC Profile (Agent)
Gorgias
Agent
1:1Anywhere365 UCC profiles contain agent identity, presence states, skill assignments, and lowest-presence hunt values. We export these profiles and create corresponding Gorgias agents by email and display name. Skill assignments and presence configurations do not map directly to any Gorgias agent attribute; we preserve skill names in a custom text field skill_tags__c on the Gorgias agent record and flag that Gorgias Rules use tag-based routing instead of presence-driven queue assignment. Agents inactive in Anywhere365 are migrated as inactive Gorgias agents with a last_active_date__c field.
Anywhere365
Queue
Gorgias
Routing Rule / Tag
lossyAnywhere365 Queues are the routing nucleus of the platform, grouping agents and applying SLA thresholds, escape actions, and wrap-up codes. Gorgias has no queue construct. We translate each Anywhere365 Queue into a Gorgias routing rule (Settings > Rules) that routes incoming tickets by channel, mailbox, or tag, and we document the original SLA thresholds and wrap-up codes as a configuration inventory for the customer's admin to implement as Gorgias SLA policies and macros. Queue-level routing priority maps to rule order in Gorgias.
Anywhere365
Dialogue Manager Script
Gorgias
Rule / Macro (inventory only)
1:1Anywhere365 Dialogue Manager scripts define IVR branching logic across voice, web chat, WhatsApp, and email. These scripts load texts dynamically via text-to-speech and have no direct Gorgias equivalent. We do not migrate Dialogue Manager scripts as automation. We deliver a written inventory of every active script with its trigger conditions, branching paths, channel assignments, and text content, organized by queue, so the customer's admin can rebuild equivalent Gorgias Rules (for ticket routing) and Macros (for response templates). Voice IVR rebuilds require a third-party voice integration since Gorgias voice is add-on only.
Anywhere365
Interaction: Voice Call
Gorgias
Ticket
1:1Anywhere365 call records carry customer identity, agent assignment, queue wait time, call duration, disposition, wrap-up code, and recording URL. We convert each call into a Gorgias ticket with the customer linked, channel set to voice, and call metadata (wait_time__c, duration_seconds__c, disposition__c, recording_url__c) stored in custom fields. Thread entries carry the call summary as an internal note. Call recordings are exported as audio files to a customer-provided storage location with the recording URL preserved in the ticket custom field; Gorgias does not host audio files natively.
Anywhere365
Interaction: Email
Gorgias
Ticket
1:1Email interactions in Anywhere365 (routed through the platform's email connector) migrate to Gorgias tickets with channel set to email. The full email thread, sender, subject, and timestamps migrate as ticket messages. Customer email address resolves to a Gorgias customer record by email match.
Anywhere365
Interaction: Web Chat
Gorgias
Ticket
1:1Web chat transcripts from Anywhere365 migrate to Gorgias tickets with channel set to chat. The chat transcript body migrates as the ticket messages with the original timestamps preserved. Visitor identity maps to the Gorgias customer record. Any pre-chat form data captured by Anywhere365 migrates to ticket custom fields.
Anywhere365
Interaction: WhatsApp and SMS
Gorgias
Ticket
1:1Multichannel asynchronous conversations on WhatsApp and SMS migrate to Gorgias tickets with channel set to the respective messaging platform. Thread integrity is preserved with each message becoming a ticket message in chronological order. Phone number on the customer record maps from Anywhere365's destination phone field.
Anywhere365
Customer (contact record)
Gorgias
Customer
1:1Anywhere365 customer records capture the contact's name, email, phone, company association, and any CRM-linked fields. We map these to Gorgias Customer records by email as the primary dedupe key. Anywhere365 custom properties on the customer record (SLA tier, segmentation attributes) migrate to Gorgias custom fields on the Customer object using the external_id field to reference the original Anywhere365 identifier for audit purposes.
Anywhere365
Queue Jukebox Media Assets
Gorgias
External Media (inventory only)
1:1Anywhere365 queue jukeboxes, announcements, hold music, and IVR prompt files are media assets referenced by queue configurations. We export a manifest of all media asset references (file name, type, queue assignment, usage context) but do not migrate the audio files themselves. We deliver the manifest with a recommended rehosting path: upload audio files to a customer-managed storage service (Azure Blob, S3, or equivalent) and document the new URLs for re-linkage inside any rebuilt IVR flow. Gorgias has no native media hosting.
Anywhere365
WebAgent Settings
Gorgias
Agent Configuration (inventory only)
1:1WebAgent configurations define agent desktop layouts, tab settings, queue display order, and shortcut assignments. These settings are specific to the Anywhere365 agent interface and have no equivalent in Gorgias's browser-based agent inbox. We export a written inventory of agent desktop configurations by agent so the customer's admin can guide agents through any layout changes in Gorgias during the transition period.
Anywhere365
Custom Properties (all objects)
Gorgias
Custom Fields
lossyAnywhere365 custom properties (name-value pairs on queues, interactions, agents, and customers for SLA tiers, routing attributes, and segmentation) migrate to Gorgias custom fields. We create custom fields on the appropriate Gorgias object (Ticket or Customer) using the Gorgias API with the label, description, and type matching the source property. The Gorgias custom field external_id field references the original Anywhere365 property name for traceability. Custom fields on Ticket support boolean, number, and text types per the Gorgias API schema.
Anywhere365
WFM Schedule and Adherence Data
Gorgias
SLA Policy (configuration inventory)
1:1Workforce management data from Anywhere365 WFM (agent schedules, adherence, forecasting) is exported as a configuration record. Gorgias SLA policies define first-response and next-reply deadlines by ticket priority but do not manage agent scheduling or adherence. We deliver the WFM configuration as a written report documenting the original SLA thresholds, business hours, and adherence targets by queue, so the customer's admin can configure matching Gorgias SLA policies or evaluate a dedicated WFM tool if workforce management remains a requirement.

Pair-specific challenges
Migration approach
Technical setup and API authorization
We coordinate Microsoft Entra ID Application Consent for the Anywhere365 Core REST API bearer token, following the same consent workflow as documented for Anywhere365 Attendant Console and Dialogue Cloud environments. We extract the complete list of queues, routing rules, agent UCC profiles, and interaction data scopes from the Core REST API. We also request a configuration export from the Anywhere365 management interface covering Dialogue Manager scripts, WFM data, WebAgent desktop settings, and media asset manifests. This output defines the full migration scope.
Gorgias destination configuration
We provision the Gorgias destination workspace: creating agent accounts matching the Anywhere365 UCC profile identities (by email match), configuring mailboxes for each active email and messaging channel, setting up custom fields on Ticket and Customer objects via the Gorgias API for all Anywhere365 custom properties, and creating tags that replicate the Anywhere365 queue taxonomy so that each migrated ticket carries its original queue assignment as a tag. SLA policies are created based on the queue SLA thresholds documented from Anywhere365. Routing rules are drafted from the queue routing logic but require the customer's admin to finalize inside Gorgias Settings > Rules before cutover.
Call history conversion to tickets
We process every Anywhere365 call record into a Gorgias ticket. Each ticket receives the customer record (resolved by email match), channel set to voice, and call-specific metadata (wait time, duration, disposition, wrap-up code, recording reference) in custom fields. Call transcripts where available migrate as ticket messages. Call recordings are downloaded from Anywhere365 to a customer-provided storage location, and the new storage URLs are written to the recording_url__c field on each ticket. Voice call batch processing uses Gorgias's REST API with rate-limit handling and exponential backoff to insert records in order.
Multichannel thread migration
Email, web chat, WhatsApp, and SMS interaction threads from Anywhere365 migrate to Gorgias tickets by channel. Each thread becomes a ticket with messages in chronological order preserving timestamps and sender attribution. Customer identity resolves to Gorgias Customer records. Pre-chat form data and channel-specific metadata (WhatsApp phone number, chat visitor ID) migrate to ticket custom fields. We use the Gorgias API to create tickets and post messages sequentially to preserve thread integrity.
Delta migration and cutover
We freeze Anywhere365 writes during a defined cutover window and run a delta export capturing any interactions created or modified since the initial extraction. The delta records convert and insert into Gorgias following the same mapping logic. Once delta records are confirmed, we disable the Anywhere365 channel integrations to make Gorgias the system of record. We deliver the Dialogue Manager script inventory, queue configuration report, WebAgent settings inventory, WFM data report, and media asset manifest as separate documents for the customer's admin to action post-migration.
Validation and handoff
We reconcile migrated record counts against the source Anywhere365 export across all object types. We spot-check 30-50 tickets across voice, email, and chat channels verifying customer linkage, message content, timestamps, and custom field population. We confirm call recording URL resolution and tag assignment from queue mapping. The customer receives the migration validation report, the automation rebuild inventory (Dialogue Manager scripts, queue routing rules, media assets), and a one-week hypercare window for reconciliation issues. We do not configure Gorgias routing rules, rebuild IVR flows, or manage voice add-on setup inside the standard migration scope.
