Overview
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.

Object mapping
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
Gorgias
Ticket
1:1CX 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
Gorgias
Message (under Ticket)
1:1CX 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
Gorgias
AI Agent (manual rebuild)
lossyCX 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
Gorgias
Rule / Macro (manual rebuild)
lossyCX 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
Gorgias
User
1:1CX 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
Gorgias
Team
1:1CX 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
Gorgias
Article (Knowledge Base)
1:1CX 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
Gorgias
Channel / Integration
lossyCX 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
Gorgias
Custom Field
1:1CX 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
Gorgias
Integration (manual reconnect)
1:1CX 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
Gorgias
Customer
1:1CX 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
Gorgias
Lark Integration (manual reconnect)
1:1CX 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.

Migration approach
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
