Overview

What this migration involves

Migrating from Masergy to Gorgias is a cross-category move: Masergy is a managed SD-WAN, UCaaS, and CCaaS bundle acquired by Comcast Business in 2021, while Gorgias is an e-commerce help desk platform centered on ticket management, customer profiles, and agent productivity. The migration scope centers on Masergy's Contact Center agent profiles and any support-related records that map to Gorgias's Customers, Tickets, and Teams objects. Masergy has no customer-facing API for self-service data export; all extraction requires Comcast Business professional services engagement, which extends timelines. Call recordings, MDR alert history, and SD-WAN site configurations are not migratable because Masergy stores them in infrastructure inaccessible to customers. We do not migrate automations, macros, or routing rules as code; we deliver a written inventory for the customer's admin to rebuild in Gorgias's automation framework. Pricing shifts from Masergy's opaque enterprise-bundled model to Gorgias's pay-per-ticket structure, which requires volume forecasting before cutover.

Why teams make this switch

Two sides of the same decision

Leaving

Masergy logo

Masergy

What's pushing teams away

  • Post-acquisition integration between Masergy's legacy portals and Comcast Business systems has created duplicate management interfaces, confusing IT administrators managing both networking and unified communications.
  • Pricing for Masergy SD-WAN and CCaaS bundles is opaque and negotiated individually, leading enterprises to switch to competitors with transparent per-seat or per-site pricing models.
  • Enterprise customers report that Masergy's managed security services lack the depth and customization options available from specialized MSSPs, prompting a split where networking stays but security migrates elsewhere.
  • Support response times have lengthened post-acquisition, with enterprises noting that tier-2 and tier-3 technical support now routes through Comcast Business call centers unfamiliar with Masergy-specific configurations.
  • Long-term contract lock-in with multi-year MPLS and SD-WAN agreements has driven churn as enterprises seek shorter commitment periods from more agile SD-WAN vendors.

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 Masergy objects map to Gorgias

Each row shows how a Masergy 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.

Masergy

Contact Center Agent

maps to

Gorgias

Agent

1:1
Fully supported

Masergy CCaaS agent profiles include login credentials, supervisor assignments, queue entitlements, and agent group memberships. We extract agent identities and their queue assignments as a structured import set. Active session state (logged-in status, current queue) does not migrate because it represents transient runtime data. Agent permissions and roles map to Gorgias Agent role settings, and supervisor relationships map to Gorgias Teams with the supervisor as the team lead.

Masergy

Contact Center Queue

maps to

Gorgias

Team

1:1
Fully supported

Masergy Contact Center queue definitions include routing rules, priority settings, and agent group memberships. We preserve the queue structure and routing logic as a Gorgias Team configuration. Agent skill assignments from Masergy queues are mapped to Gorgias Teams so that ticket routing by team is maintained. Note that skills-based routing in Masergy (matching agent skills to ticket categories) requires manual configuration in Gorgias automation rules post-migration.

Masergy

Customer (CCaaS)

maps to

Gorgias

Customer

1:1
Fully supported

Masergy customer records linked to CCaaS interactions (phone numbers, email addresses, name, and interaction history) map to Gorgias Customer profiles. Standard Customer fields in Gorgias include Name, Email, Phone, Language, Timezone, Note, and Customer type. We map Masergy customer identifiers to Gorgias Customer external_id for cross-reference. Custom fields migrate via Gorgias custom fields API as string, boolean, date, or number types per the field type in the source.

Masergy

Support Ticket

maps to

Gorgias

Ticket

1:1
Fully supported

Masergy CCaaS support tickets (customer inquiries routed through queues) map to Gorgias Tickets with ID, Subject, Tags, External ID (carrying the Masergy ticket reference), Team (from queue mapping), Channel (derived from Masergy channel type), and Status. Conversation history (messages, agent replies, customer responses) migrates as ticket comments attached to the Ticket record in chronological order.

Masergy

UCaaS User

maps to

Gorgias

Agent

1:1
Fully supported

Masergy Global UCaaS user records include extension assignments, dial-plan membership, and device provisioning settings. If the UCaaS user base overlaps with the CCaaS agent population (common in Masergy bundled deployments), we deduplicate by email address and create a single Gorgias Agent record rather than duplicating. Non-agent UCaaS users (internal-only) are documented separately and optionally migrated as Gorgias Customers if the customer chooses to bring internal ticket tracking into Gorgias.

Masergy

Team

maps to

Gorgias

Team

1:1
Fully supported

Masergy team structures map supervisor-to-agent relationships and team-level queue assignments. We export team rosters as structured data and reapply them to Gorgias Teams with supervisor assigned as the team lead. Team-level SLA targets and queue assignments from Masergy are documented for manual reconfiguration in Gorgias automation rules.

Masergy

Dial Plan

maps to

Gorgias

Channel Configuration

lossy
Fully supported

Masergy UCaaS dial plans define routing behavior for internal extensions, DID numbers, and outbound call routing. These do not have a direct Gorgias equivalent because Gorgias is a help desk platform, not a telephony platform. We document the dial plan structure as a configuration reference and flag that call routing must be reconfigured in the customer's chosen telephony provider (Gorgias supports phone channels via add-on). Inbound call routing to Gorgias tickets requires setup of Gorgias's phone channel integration post-migration.

Masergy

SD-WAN Site

maps to

Gorgias

Configuration Reference

1:1
Fully supported

Masergy SD-WAN site definitions (tunnel definitions, WAN circuit assignments, routing policies, failover configurations) are infrastructure-specific and have no equivalent in Gorgias's data model. We extract these as structured configuration exports and deliver them as documentation for the customer's networking team. SD-WAN management remains in Comcast Business or migrates to an alternative SD-WAN vendor as a separate engagement.

Masergy

Call Recording

maps to

Gorgias

N/A

1:1
Fully supported

Call recordings generated within Masergy CCaaS are stored in Masergy's media infrastructure and are not accessible via any customer-facing mechanism. We do not migrate call recordings. We flag this as a hard limitation upfront and advise customers to retain recordings in Masergy or arrange a manual archive through Comcast Business support if compliance retention is required. Gorgias does support call recording via its phone channel integration post-migration, but historical recordings from Masergy cannot be imported.

Masergy

Managed Detection and Response Alert

maps to

Gorgias

N/A

1:1
Fully supported

MDR alert history and incident records are maintained in Masergy's internal SIEM and are not accessible via customer-facing tools. Enterprises migrating away from Masergy Managed Security cannot export their alert history. We document this gap in the migration scope and recommend that customers export any required compliance or audit records before initiating migration using the managed security portal's reporting features if available.

Masergy

Macro / Automation

maps to

Gorgias

Macro

lossy
Fully supported

Masergy CCaaS routing rules, auto-attendant configurations, and queue escalation policies do not have a direct Gorgias equivalent as migratable code. We document the existing automation logic and deliver it as a written specification for the customer's admin to rebuild in Gorgias using Gorgias's macro and automation rule builder. Macros (standardized responses and actions) can be manually recreated in Gorgias based on the documented Masergy configuration.

Masergy

Security Policy

maps to

Gorgias

N/A

1:1
Fully supported

Masergy Managed Security policy rules (firewall, IDS/IPS, MDR configurations) are infrastructure-specific and maintained within Masergy's security portal. These have no equivalent in Gorgias's data model. We document the security policy structure as a reference for the customer's security team. If the customer is migrating both CCaaS and managed security away from Masergy, a separate security policy migration engagement is required.

Pair-specific challenges

  • No customer-facing API requires Comcast Business professional services engagement

    Masergy does not publish a documented customer-accessible API for exporting agent records, queue configurations, customer profiles, or ticket history. All data extraction for migration purposes must be requested through Comcast Business professional services or negotiated as part of the exit engagement. This means the migration timeline is partially dependent on Comcast Business scheduling and data delivery rather than FlitStack AI's own API-driven extraction process. We coordinate directly with the customer's Comcast Business account team to request structured data exports and structure them for Gorgias import. This constraint typically adds two to four weeks to the discovery and extraction phases compared to platforms with open APIs.

  • Post-acquisition dual-portal environment complicates credential mapping

    Masergy was acquired by Comcast Business in October 2021 and the product ecosystem has not been fully consolidated. Some tenants still operate on legacy Masergy portals (isc.masergy.com, ucportalus.comcast.com) while new provisioning routes through Comcast Business systems. We identify during discovery which portal stack a tenant is on and map the correct credential and configuration paths for data extraction requests. Migrating from a legacy Masergy portal to requesting Comcast Business data exports requires additional account verification steps that can delay extraction timelines if credentials have not been re-provisioned under the Comcast Business identity layer.

  • Call recordings and media history are non-portable

    Call recordings generated within Masergy CCaaS are stored in Masergy's media infrastructure and cannot be downloaded or exported via any customer-accessible mechanism. Any migration scoping that includes call recording history must acknowledge this as a hard limitation. We flag recording storage boundaries upfront and advise customers to retain recordings in-place or arrange a manual archive through Comcast Business support if compliance retention is required. Historical call recordings must remain in Masergy or be manually exported by the customer before the account is closed.

  • Gorgias pay-per-ticket pricing requires volume forecasting before cutover

    Gorgias uses a pay-per-ticket pricing model that can become expensive at high support volumes. Overage charges start at $0.36-$0.40 per ticket once the monthly limit is exceeded, and AI Agent resolutions are double-billed (both the helpdesk ticket and the AI resolution count toward volume). Teams migrating from Masergy CCaaS, which has bundled per-seat pricing, may face unexpected cost increases during seasonal volume spikes if they have not forecast their expected ticket volume. We recommend reviewing historical Masergy ticket volumes and projecting Gorgias costs during discovery to set appropriate plan limits before migration.

  • Skills-based routing and queue escalation rules do not migrate

    Masergy CCaaS skills-based routing assigns agents to queues based on skill tags, and queue escalation rules define how tickets move between priority levels and supervisors. Gorgias uses team-based routing and macros rather than skills-based assignment. We document the existing Masergy routing logic as a written specification for the customer's admin to rebuild in Gorgias automation rules. The rebuild scope depends on the complexity of the routing tree and typically requires two to five hours of admin configuration post-migration for simple queue-to-team mappings, or longer for multi-tier escalation scenarios.

Migration approach

Six steps for a successful Masergy to Gorgias data migration

  1. Discovery and portal stack identification

    We audit the customer's Masergy environment to identify which portal stack they are on (legacy Masergy portals or Comcast Business portals) and request the appropriate data extraction through Comcast Business professional services. We inventory agent profiles, queue configurations, customer records, and ticket history volumes. We also confirm the Gorgias plan tier based on expected ticket volume and identify any required Gorgias integrations (Shopify, Magento, WooCommerce) for the e-commerce use case. The discovery output is a written migration scope and a Comcast Business data request submission.

  2. Data extraction coordination with Comcast Business

    We submit the formal data extraction request to Comcast Business professional services and coordinate the delivery of structured export files (agent roster, queue configurations, customer records, ticket history). Masergy does not offer a self-service API, so this step requires direct coordination with Comcast Business account management. We validate the received export files for completeness and flag any missing fields or records before proceeding. This phase typically takes two to four weeks depending on Comcast Business scheduling and data preparation on their end.

  3. Gorgias workspace provisioning and schema design

    We provision the customer's Gorgias workspace and configure the initial schema before any data import. This includes setting up Teams to match Masergy queue structures, creating custom fields on the Customer and Ticket objects to capture Masergy-specific data that does not map to standard Gorgias fields, and configuring agent roles and permissions. We also set up the phone channel integration in Gorgias if the customer intends to route inbound calls into Gorgias post-migration, since this requires separate telephony provisioning.

  4. Agent and team migration

    We migrate Masergy agent profiles to Gorgias Agents with team assignments derived from Masergy queue memberships. Supervisor relationships from Masergy are applied by setting the supervisor as the team lead in Gorgias Teams. We resolve agent email addresses as the dedupe key and flag any Masergy agents without email addresses for the customer's admin to map manually. Active session state (logged-in status, current queue) does not migrate and is reset at cutover.

  5. Customer and ticket migration

    We migrate Masergy customer records to Gorgias Customers using email as the primary dedupe key and Masergy customer ID as external_id for cross-reference. Ticket history migrates as Gorgias Tickets with conversation threads preserved as ticket comments in chronological order. Tags from Masergy migrate to Gorgias ticket tags. We resolve team assignments by mapping Masergy queue names to the Gorgias Teams created in the previous step. Custom fields migrate via Gorgias custom fields API using the field types identified during discovery.

  6. Cutover, validation, and automation rebuild handoff

    We freeze Masergy writes during cutover, run a final delta migration of any records modified during the migration window, then enable Gorgias as the system of record for support operations. We deliver the routing rule and automation specification document to the customer's admin team for rebuild in Gorgias automation rules. We support a one-week hypercare window where we resolve any reconciliation issues raised by the customer's support team. We do not rebuild Masergy routing rules as Gorgias automation rules inside the migration scope; that work is handled by the customer's admin using our specification document.

Most migrations land between four and six weeks for environments with up to 50 agents, 5,000 customers, and 50,000 tickets. The primary variable is the Comcast Business professional services engagement required to extract Masergy data, which adds two to four weeks compared to platforms with open APIs. Migrations with large historical ticket volumes, multi-site CCaaS configurations, or complex queue-to-team mappings requiring extensive custom field mapping move to ten to fourteen weeks.
