Overview

What this migration involves

CX Genie and Gorgias share a ticket-and-conversation data model, but the migration is constrained by CX Genie's absence of a documented public REST API. CX Genie maintains no webhook system or developer documentation, so we establish whether the admin panel offers a manual export function (CSV or JSON) during scoping and use that as the data source. Where no export exists, we coordinate with the customer to extract data manually or via structured admin reports, extending the project timeline. We migrate Tickets, Conversations, Customers, Agents, Teams, and Help Center articles into Gorgias via its REST API. CX Genie's AI Agent configurations and Workflow graph trees cannot be exported as machine-readable data and therefore cannot migrate as code; we deliver a written inventory of every AI Agent and Workflow for the customer's admin to rebuild in Gorgias's rule-based automation system. Gorgias's per-ticket pricing model means the customer's plan tier determines sustainable ticket volume post-migration.

Leaving

CX Genie logo

CX Genie

What's pushing teams away

  • CX Genie is a young, small company (founded 2023, ~13 employees) and customers express concern about long-term stability and continued development compared to established helpdesk vendors.
  • Users report that the platform lacks a documented public REST API, limiting the ability to automate workflows, sync data programmatically, or build custom integrations beyond pre-built connectors.
  • The free tier and lower tiers may impose limits on conversation volume, AI agent usage, or channel connections that become restrictive as support volume grows.
  • Some customers report frustration that complex workflow scenarios require workarounds or fall outside the visual builder's capabilities, creating a ceiling for advanced automation needs.

Choosing

Gorgias logo

Gorgias

What's pulling them in

  • Shopify-native integrations pull order details, shipment status, and return data directly into the ticket view, eliminating the need for agents to switch between apps.
  • Unlimited user seats mean growing support teams do not trigger billing changes; pricing scales only on billable ticket volume.
  • AI Agent automates responses to high-volume queries like order status and returns, measurably reducing the number of billable tickets each month.
  • Omnichannel inbox consolidates email, live chat, Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp, SMS, and voice into a single threaded view.
  • SOC 2 Type II certification and GDPR-aligned data handling satisfy enterprise procurement requirements for customer support platforms.

Object mapping

How CX Genie objects map to Gorgias

Each row shows how a CX Genie 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.

CX Genie

Ticket

maps to

Gorgias

Ticket

1:1
Fully supported

CX Genie Tickets (support cases routed to human agents) with status, priority, assignee, and linked conversation map directly to Gorgias Ticket. We extract ticket records from CX Genie's admin panel export and import via Gorgias's POST /tickets endpoint. CX Genie's conversation-linked message arrays migrate as Gorgias message records under the ticket. The source ticket ID is preserved in a custom field cxgenie_ticket_id__c for audit traceability.

CX Genie

Conversation

maps to

Gorgias

Message (under Ticket)

1:1
Fully supported

CX Genie Conversation records (chat sessions between customers and AI Agent) export as chronological message arrays with timestamps and content. We map each message to a Gorgias Message record linked to the corresponding migrated Ticket. Channel attribution (WhatsApp, website, Telegram, Facebook Messenger) becomes the Gorgias Message channel field. Message sender type (customer, agent, bot) maps to the Gorgias Message sender type field.

CX Genie

AI Agent

maps to

Gorgias

AI Agent (manual rebuild)

lossy
Fully supported

CX Genie AI Agent configurations (name, assigned channel, prompt configuration, fallback-to-human settings, multilingual intent detection) cannot be exported as machine-readable data because CX Genie has no public API. We extract the Agent manifest from admin-panel screenshots or exported configuration reports where available, and deliver a written specification document that maps each CX Genie Agent's prompt, trigger conditions, and channel assignments to Gorgias AI Agent configuration equivalents. The customer's admin rebuilds the agents in Gorgias using this specification.

CX Genie

Workflow

maps to

Gorgias

Rule / Macro (manual rebuild)

lossy
Fully supported

CX Genie Workflows are visual chat automation trees with trigger conditions and branching nodes, active on one channel at a time. We serialise the workflow graph as structured JSON from admin-panel screenshots or exported logic trees where available. Because Gorgias uses a rule-based Macros and Rules engine rather than a visual flow tree, we deliver a written automation inventory that documents each CX Genie workflow's trigger, conditions, branching logic, and actions with a recommended Gorgias Rule or Macro equivalent. The customer's admin rebuilds these in Gorgias's Rules editor.

CX Genie

User / Agent

maps to

Gorgias

User

1:1
Fully supported

CX Genie agent user accounts with login credentials, roles, and assignment rules map to Gorgias Users. We export user profiles including name, email, role (admin, agent), and team membership. In Gorgias, we create matching User accounts with equivalent role scopes. If the customer's Gorgias plan uses Google or Microsoft SSO, we configure the identity provider mapping during user provisioning.

CX Genie

Team

maps to

Gorgias

Team

1:1
Fully supported

CX Genie Teams (groups of support agents) export with names and member lists. Teams map directly to Gorgias Teams. We resolve team membership by matching agent email addresses against the migrated User records. Team assignment rules (which team handles which ticket type or channel) are documented in the Workflow inventory for manual rebuild in Gorgias's routing configuration.

CX Genie

Help Center / KB Article

maps to

Gorgias

Article (Knowledge Base)

1:1
Fully supported

CX Genie Help Center articles export as content with category assignments. We import articles into Gorgias Knowledge Base via the POST /knowledge-base/articles endpoint, preserving article title, body content (rich text), author, creation date, and update date. Article categories become Gorgias Knowledge Base sections. Article-to-category assignments migrate via field mapping. CX Genie's multilingual article labels (55+ languages supported) are preserved where the export includes language-tagged content.

CX Genie

Channel

maps to

Gorgias

Channel / Integration

lossy
Fully supported

CX Genie Channels (WhatsApp, Facebook Messenger, Telegram, website embed) assigned to AI Agents are exported as metadata. Channel configuration (connection tokens, phone numbers, Facebook Page IDs) cannot be exported because OAuth credentials are platform-bound. We document each active channel connection and its assigned Agent in the migration runbook. The customer's admin re-authenticates each channel in Gorgias's integration settings (WhatsApp Business, Facebook, Instagram, Telegram, live chat widget) post-migration.

CX Genie

Custom Property

maps to

Gorgias

Custom Field

1:1
Fully supported

CX Genie does not expose a documented schema for custom fields on Tickets or Agents. We flag this gap during scoping and cannot migrate custom properties that the platform does not surface in its data export. For any CX Genie data that includes informal custom fields captured in ticket notes or message content, we parse and migrate as ticket message content rather than structured fields. Gorgias supports custom fields on Tickets and Customers via the API with type and priority parameters; if the customer uses custom properties in CX Genie that appear in exported data, we can create matching Gorgias custom fields during schema setup.

CX Genie

Integration / Connected App

maps to

Gorgias

Integration (manual reconnect)

1:1
Fully supported

CX Genie integrations with Lark, Shopify, and third-party CRMs store OAuth tokens and connection credentials that are not exportable. We document each connected app, the data it syncs, and the authentication scope required. The customer's admin re-authenticates each integration in Gorgias's App Store or via OAuth configuration post-migration. For Shopify specifically, Gorgias provides a native Shopify integration that the admin connects with read/write permissions for order and customer data.

CX Genie

Customer

maps to

Gorgias

Customer

1:1
Fully supported

CX Genie customer records (external users who initiate conversations) export with name, email, and any attached metadata. We import into Gorgias as Customers via POST /customers. The customer's email address is the primary dedupe key. CX Genie conversation history attached to the customer migrates as message content under the corresponding Gorgias Ticket for that customer. Order data from Shopify (if the CX Genie Shopify integration was active) re-syncs automatically when the Gorgias Shopify integration is connected post-migration.

CX Genie

Lark OAuth Integration

maps to

Gorgias

Lark Integration (manual reconnect)

1:1
Fully supported

CX Genie's Lark (feishu) integration requires the offline_access OAuth scope and a precise redirect URI (https://app.cxgenie.ai/integrations/lark). Apps must be published in the Lark Developer Console before the integration activates. These settings are not portable. We document the Lark integration configuration in the migration runbook and flag that the customer must publish a corresponding app in the Lark Developer Console with the matching redirect URI before reconnecting in Gorgias's Lark integration settings.

Pair-specific challenges

  • CX Genie has no public REST API for data export

    CX Genie does not publish a public REST API, webhook system, or developer documentation for programmatic data access. We cannot retrieve AI Agent configs, Workflow graphs, conversation histories, or ticket records via API calls. During migration scoping, we establish whether CX Genie's admin panel offers a manual export function (CSV or JSON) and use that as the data source. Where no export exists, we coordinate with the customer to extract data manually or via screen-scraped admin reports, which extends the project timeline by one to two weeks. We flag this constraint in the discovery phase and adjust the migration estimate accordingly.

  • CX Genie Workflows are channel-locked and not exportable

    CX Genie Workflows can be active on only one channel at a time (Facebook Messenger, Telegram, or website). Multi-channel support setups typically have separate workflow copies per channel, creating duplicate automation logic. We identify and document these duplicate workflow instances during scoping. Because the workflow graph is not exportable as machine-readable data, we cannot migrate Workflows as code. We deliver a written automation inventory that consolidates logic across channel duplicates and maps each CX Genie Workflow to a Gorgias Rule or Macro equivalent for manual rebuild.

  • Gorgias charges per ticket and AI resolutions separately

    Gorgias pricing is per-ticket ($10-$750/month tier) plus $1.00 per AI Agent resolved conversation. CX Genie pricing is per-conversation volume ($0-$249.99/month). Teams migrating from CX Genie with high AI Agent automation rates may find that Gorgias's AI resolution fees add significant cost on top of the base ticket tier. We calculate the customer's projected Gorgias bill during scoping based on monthly ticket volume and estimated AI resolution rate, and flag any tier threshold where overage fees ($0.40/ticket overage) would apply.

  • Channel OAuth tokens are not portable between platforms

    CX Genie's channel integrations (WhatsApp Business, Facebook Messenger, Telegram, Instagram) store OAuth tokens and API credentials that are bound to the CX Genie platform and cannot be exported. We document each active channel connection and its configuration parameters. The customer's admin must reconnect each channel manually in Gorgias using the same Facebook Page, WhatsApp Business account, or Telegram Bot token. This is a manual step that extends the post-migration window by one to three days per channel depending on platform approval queues.

  • AI Agent rebuild requires manual recreation in Gorgias

    CX Genie AI Agent configurations (prompt templates, intent detection settings, fallback-to-human triggers, multilingual configurations) are not exportable as structured data. We extract available configuration metadata from the admin panel and deliver a written specification document that maps each CX Genie Agent to its Gorgias AI Agent equivalent. The customer's admin uses this specification to configure Gorgias AI Agents manually. The knowledge base articles that the AI Agent references can migrate fully, which provides a strong foundation for the rebuild, but the agent logic itself must be recreated.

Migration approach

Six steps for a successful CX Genie to Gorgias data migration

  1. Discovery and export feasibility assessment

    We audit the CX Genie admin panel for available export functions across all objects (Tickets, Conversations, AI Agents, Workflows, Help Center articles, Users, Teams, Channels, Integrations). Because CX Genie has no public API, we establish whether a CSV, JSON, or manual report export is accessible for each object type. We document any objects that lack an export path and agree on a manual extraction strategy with the customer (admin-panel screenshots, exported data downloads, or coordinated manual data pull). The discovery output is a written migration scope document with a per-object export method, estimated row counts, and a timeline adjustment if manual extraction is required.

  2. Data extraction and Gorgias schema setup

    We coordinate with the customer to execute all available CX Genie exports, validating file format (CSV or JSON), row counts, and field completeness. Simultaneously, we set up the Gorgias destination schema: creating custom fields (cxgenie_ticket_id__c, any migrated custom properties), configuring Knowledge Base sections to match CX Genie article categories, setting up Teams matching the CX Genie team structure, and configuring channel integrations in Gorgias pending re-authentication by the customer's admin. We use the Gorgias API (GET /knowledge-base/articles, GET /tickets, GET /customers, GET /users) to validate that the destination environment is ready for import before any data moves.

  3. Data transformation and object mapping

    We transform the extracted CX Genie data into the format required by Gorgias's API. This includes mapping CX Genie conversation message arrays to Gorgias Message records under Tickets, parsing CX Genie AI Agent metadata for the specification document, serialising CX Genie Workflow graphs as JSON for the automation inventory, and mapping CX Genie article categories to Gorgias Knowledge Base sections. We resolve CX Genie owner IDs to Gorgias User email addresses for assignee mapping. Any ticket records without a matching Gorgias User are assigned to a default agent designated by the customer.

  4. Knowledge base and user migration

    We import Help Center articles into Gorgias Knowledge Base via the POST /knowledge-base/articles endpoint, preserving content, categories, and timestamps. We create Gorgias Users for each migrated CX Genie agent, configuring roles (admin, agent) and assigning team membership. We run a reconciliation pass comparing CX Genie user count and team count to migrated Gorgias records, resolving any mismatches before proceeding to ticket migration. The customer's admin completes channel re-authentication (WhatsApp, Facebook, Telegram, live chat widget) during this window using the channel configuration documentation we delivered.

  5. Ticket and conversation migration

    We migrate CX Genie Tickets to Gorgias Tickets via POST /tickets in batches of up to 100 records, applying rate-limit handling and exponential backoff on 429 responses. Each ticket's conversation history (message arrays) migrates as Gorgias Message records linked to the ticket via the ticket ID returned from the insert. We preserve the original CX Genie ticket ID in cxgenie_ticket_id__c for audit and cross-reference. Customer records migrate via POST /customers before ticket import so that the customer association is satisfied at insert time. We emit a per-batch row-count reconciliation report and a total migration summary for the customer's sign-off.

  6. AI Agent and Workflow rebuild handoff

    We deliver the written AI Agent specification document and the Workflow automation inventory to the customer's admin team. The AI Agent specification maps each CX Genie Agent's prompt configuration, channel assignment, and fallback settings to Gorgias AI Agent fields. The automation inventory documents each CX Genie Workflow with its trigger, conditions, branching logic, and recommended Gorgias Rule or Macro equivalent. We do not rebuild these in Gorgias as part of the migration scope; this is a manual rebuild task for the customer's admin or a separate Gorgias implementation engagement. We conduct a one-week hypercare window to resolve any reconciliation issues raised by the customer's support team after cutover.

Small migrations under 5,000 tickets, 500 agents, and a single-channel setup complete in two to three weeks. Medium migrations with multi-channel configurations, knowledge base articles exceeding 100 records, and conversation histories over 50,000 messages move to four to six weeks. Large migrations with enterprise team structures, multilingual knowledge base content, and delta-migration requirements extend to five to eight weeks. The primary variable is whether CX Genie's admin panel provides a usable export function or whether manual data extraction is required, which adds one to two weeks to the discovery phase.
