Overview

What this migration involves

Moving from Mojo Helpdesk to Gorgias is primarily a use-case migration — Mojo Helpdesk is an IT and general-purpose ticketing system with per-agent pricing, while Gorgias is an ecommerce-native helpdesk with unlimited agents and per-ticket billing. We handle the object-level mapping including full ticket message history (Mojo Comments), knowledge base articles with category hierarchy, and Mojo's asset records. We flag the pricing model shift (per-agent to per-ticket) during scoping so teams understand the billing implications before migration begins. Mojo's Team plan hard cap at 25 agents drives many migrations — Gorgias's unlimited-agent model removes that ceiling entirely. We do not migrate Mojo Automations (Bots), Custom Forms, or Reports as code; we deliver a written inventory of these for the customer's admin to rebuild in Gorgias Rules.

Why teams make this switch

Two sides of the same decision

Leaving

Mojo Helpdesk logo

Mojo Helpdesk

What's pushing teams away

  • The Team plan caps at 25 agents and limits storage, queues, and automation — teams that grow past that threshold must upgrade or leave.
  • Dashboard reporting is constrained to 30-day windows, requiring manual aggregation for quarterly or multi-month trend analysis.
  • Google Apps integration has been deprecated, forcing organizations on Google Workspace to use alternative authentication and routing methods.
  • Custom field mapping during bulk imports requires pre-creation of fields in Mojo before the CSV import runs — undocumented order-of-operations that causes silent field drops.
  • Agent and admin roles are limited, and queue-level access control for restricted agents is only available on higher tiers, limiting segregation options for large support teams.

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 Mojo Helpdesk objects map to Gorgias

Each row shows how a Mojo Helpdesk 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.

Mojo Helpdesk

Ticket

maps to

Gorgias

Ticket

1:1
Fully supported

Mojo Helpdesk Tickets map directly to Gorgias Tickets. The full message history (Mojo Comments) migrates as Events on the Gorgias ticket. We resolve Mojo's status (open, pending, solved, closed) against Gorgias's status model, noting that pending tickets from Mojo import as closed in Gorgias by default since Gorgias does not have an equivalent pending status. We preserve Mojo ticket ID as external_id for reconciliation. Priority mapping follows the Mojo priority levels (low, normal, high, urgent) into Gorgias priority values.

Mojo Helpdesk

User (Agent)

maps to

Gorgias

Agent

1:1
Fully supported

Mojo Helpdesk agents map to Gorgias agents via email as the unique identifier. Mojo's admin versus agent role distinction maps to Gorgias admin versus agent permissions. Mojo CSV user import has a ceiling of 3,000 records per batch; for accounts exceeding this, we chunk into sequential batches and validate each chunk completes before proceeding. We flag any Mojo agent count exceeding the customer's target Gorgias plan and confirm plan adequacy before migration begins.

Mojo Helpdesk

Contact (Customer)

maps to

Gorgias

Customer

1:1
Fully supported

Mojo Helpdesk customer contacts map to Gorgias customers by email as the primary dedupe key. We preserve Mojo contact fields including name, email, phone, company affiliation, and custom fields. Mojo automatically creates contacts from new ticket submitter emails; we import contacts independently so that the customer record exists before any ticket references it. Custom field data on contacts migrates as Gorgias customer attributes. If Mojo has over 500 custom fields total (tickets plus contacts), we flag this during scoping because Gorgias does not import ticket fields when the source has more than 500 fields.

Mojo Helpdesk

Queue

maps to

Gorgias

Team

1:1
Fully supported

Mojo Helpdesk queues map to Gorgias Teams. Mojo queues are routing units tied to email routing rules and form submissions; we map each queue to a Gorgias Team and preserve the queue's routing email as the team's inbox email. Agents assigned to the Mojo queue map to the Gorgias Team members. Queue-level SLA timers migrate as Gorgias SLA Rules attached to the team inbox. We flag queue-to-team mapping during scoping because Gorgias Teams can have multiple inboxes (email, chat, SMS) whereas Mojo queues map to a single email routing rule.

Mojo Helpdesk

Comment (Conversation Thread)

maps to

Gorgias

Event

1:1
Fully supported

Mojo Helpdesk Comments on a ticket — including agent replies, customer replies, internal staff notes, and CC'd participant messages — migrate as Gorgias Events attached to the ticket. Comment order is preserved by Event timestamp. Internal notes from Mojo migrate as internal Events in Gorgias (visible to agents only). Attachments referenced in comments migrate as Gorgias attachment records linked to the Event. We validate thread continuity by comparing first and last comment timestamps against the Gorgias ticket created_at and updated_at timestamps.

Mojo Helpdesk

Custom Field (Ticket and User)

maps to

Gorgias

Custom Field

lossy
Fully supported

Custom fields on Mojo tickets and users require pre-creation in Mojo before any CSV import can populate them — a Mojo platform requirement that causes silent field data drops if fields do not exist. We audit the Mojo custom field schema during scoping and confirm all fields exist in the source account before migration begins. Custom fields migrate as Gorgias ticket attributes or customer attributes depending on object. String, boolean, date, and number field types from Mojo map to equivalent Gorgias attribute types. We flag any Mojo account with more than 500 total custom fields because Gorgias does not import ticket fields when that threshold is exceeded.

Mojo Helpdesk

Queue Routing Rule

maps to

Gorgias

Rule

lossy
Fully supported

Mojo Helpdesk queue routing rules (email-based or form-based routing to specific queues) map to Gorgias Rules with conditions and actions. We document the routing logic (condition: subject contains X or sender email matches Y, action: assign to queue Z) as a written rule specification for the customer's admin to configure in Gorgias Rules. Mojo routing rules tied to Google Apps (now deprecated) require alternative routing configuration in Gorgias. Routing rules with complex conditions (nested AND/OR logic) are flagged for manual rebuild scope review.

Mojo Helpdesk

SLA Configuration

maps to

Gorgias

SLA Rule

lossy
Fully supported

Mojo Helpdesk SLA configurations (timer starts on ticket creation, pauses on customer reply, alerts before breach) migrate as Gorgias SLA Rules. Timeframes per priority level map from Mojo SLA definitions to Gorgias SLA response and resolution targets. We export SLA definitions during scoping and deliver them as a written SLA configuration document. Note that Gorgias SLA Rules operate at the team inbox level rather than at the global account level, which may require adjustment if Mojo SLAs are configured per-queue but cover a shared agent pool.

Mojo Helpdesk

Canned Response

maps to

Gorgias

Macro

1:1
Fully supported

Mojo Helpdesk canned responses (pre-written reply templates associated with queues or categories) map to Gorgias Macros. We export template content and any trigger conditions. Only reply text and status change macro actions are fully supported in Gorgias Macros; macros with conditional logic, delay actions, or multi-step sequences migrate with an empty actions list and are flagged for manual rebuild. Mojo canned responses tied to queue-specific language are mapped to Gorgias Macros associated with the corresponding team inbox.

Mojo Helpdesk

Knowledge Base Article

maps to

Gorgias

Article

lossy
Fully supported

Mojo Helpdesk knowledge base articles migrate to Gorgias Articles. We export article content (HTML body), category assignments, and publish status. Articles must import in category-order sequence so that parent categories exist before child articles are assigned. Mojo article storage is tier-gated (Team plan storage limits may have capped article volume), so we verify available storage during scoping. Articles with broken links or missing media are flagged for content review before import. Post-import, Gorgias Articles integrate with Macros for self-service deflect triggers.

Mojo Helpdesk

Asset

maps to

Gorgias

Customer Attribute (optional)

lossy
Fully supported

Mojo Helpdesk asset management (optional module tracking laptops, software licenses, warranties, contracts with ticket linkage) migrates as Gorgias customer attributes or as a separate import mapping asset records to customer properties. Assets and tickets must be imported in sequence in Mojo (assets first, then tickets with asset associations); we follow the same order during migration. If the customer's Mojo account does not have the Assets module enabled, we skip this object. We flag whether the destination Gorgias account requires a custom object or third-party asset management integration if the asset dataset is complex.

Mojo Helpdesk

Tag

maps to

Gorgias

Tag

1:1
Fully supported

Mojo Helpdesk tags are free-form text applied to tickets for categorization. We map tags to Gorgias Tags on tickets. Mojo tags that appear on imported tickets migrate with those tickets; standalone tags without ticket associations are flagged during scoping. Tag naming (Mojo uses free-form text with no predefined vocabulary) may result in duplicate or inconsistent tags that we normalize during import by lowercasing and stripping whitespace. Gorgias Tags are used for ticket filtering and automation triggers.

Pair-specific challenges

  • Custom fields silently dropped without pre-creation in Mojo

    Mojo Helpdesk requires custom fields to be created in the application before a CSV import can populate them. If we attempt to import data into a custom field that does not yet exist, the import completes without error but the field data is discarded. This is a Mojo platform-level requirement, not a migration-specific issue. We audit the Mojo custom field schema during scoping, confirm all fields exist in the source account, and prompt the customer to create any missing fields in Account administration before we begin the import phase. Skipping this step results in silent data loss that is only detectable through post-migration reconciliation.

  • Pending ticket status has no Gorgias equivalent

    Mojo Helpdesk supports an open, pending, solved, and closed ticket status. Gorgias does not have a pending status — tickets with pending status from Mojo import as closed. This affects workflow triggers in Gorgias Rules that depend on ticket state. We flag all Mojo tickets in pending status during scoping and advise the customer's admin to configure a Gorgias Rule that detects the Mojo external_id prefix or a custom field flag to restore pending-equivalent visibility. Tickets with more than 250 comments are split into multiple closed tickets in Gorgias per Gorgias import documentation.

  • Gorgias per-ticket pricing may exceed Mojo per-agent cost at high volume

    Gorgias pricing is per-billable ticket with unlimited agents. Mojo Helpdesk pricing is per-agent. At moderate ticket volumes, Gorgias Basic ($60/month for 300 tickets) is cheaper than Mojo Team (10 agents × $14 = $140/month). However, for teams with high per-agent ticket volume (over 30 tickets per agent per month), or teams that need over 2,000 tickets per month on the Pro plan ($360/month), the per-ticket model may cost more than a comparable Mojo Business plan. We calculate the expected Gorgias bill during scoping using the customer's current monthly ticket volume from Mojo reports before committing to migration.

  • Mojo reports restricted to 30-day windows — no historical API

    Mojo Helpdesk dashboards display data only within the current 30-day window. Historical reporting data beyond 30 days is not accessible via the UI or API. If the customer needs historical SLA compliance, agent workload trends, or satisfaction score trends, we extract report snapshots before migration begins. We document this limitation during scoping and ask the customer whether historical trend data needs to be preserved. Post-migration, historical trends are only available if the customer exported them from Mojo before the migration window. Gorgias provides full historical reporting for all imported data going forward.

  • Mojo bots and automations require manual rebuild in Gorgias Rules

    Mojo Helpdesk bots trigger on ticket events (created, updated, deleted) and can assign, escalate, or send emails based on conditions. Gorgias Rules handle routing, tagging, macro triggers, and auto-closing but use a different condition-action model. We document every active Mojo bot and automation as a written specification with trigger, conditions, actions, and a Gorgias Rules equivalent recommendation. The customer's admin rebuilds automations in Gorgias post-migration. Automations with complex nested conditions or time-based delays are flagged for extended rebuild scope review. We do not migrate automations as code.

Migration approach

Six steps for a successful Mojo Helpdesk to Gorgias data migration

  1. Discovery and scoping

    We audit the source Mojo Helpdesk account across plan tier (Team/Business/Enterprise), agent count, custom field schema, active queues, SLA configurations, canned responses, knowledge base article count, and asset records. We extract a Mojo report snapshot of the last 30 days before migration begins because Mojo dashboards are restricted to 30-day windows and historical trend data is not accessible via API post-migration. We pair this with a Gorgias plan recommendation based on monthly ticket volume, team size, and required integrations. The discovery output is a written migration scope document and a Gorgias plan recommendation.

  2. Schema design and pre-creation validation

    We design the destination schema in Gorgias including Teams (mapped from Mojo queues), agent permissions, SLA Rules, Macros (mapped from Mojo canned responses), and Article categories. We validate that all Mojo custom fields exist in the source account before migration begins — a prerequisite for Mojo CSV imports that, if skipped, causes silent field data loss. If Mojo has more than 500 total custom fields (tickets plus contacts), we flag this as a Gorgias import limitation and discuss field prioritization with the customer.

  3. Asset and article pre-import

    Mojo Helpdesk requires assets to be imported before tickets to preserve asset-ticket associations. We run asset import first, followed by knowledge base article import in category-order sequence so that parent categories exist before articles are assigned. Each import chunk emits a row-count reconciliation report. We flag any assets or articles that exceed Mojo storage tier limits during scoping and confirm adequate storage on the Gorgias account.

  4. Agent and customer import

    We import Mojo agents and customers via CSV in batches respecting the 3,000-record ceiling per import operation. Agents are mapped by email to Gorgias agents with admin or agent role permissions preserved. Customers are imported independently so that the customer record exists before any ticket references it. We resolve any Mojo contacts without email (rare but possible from web form submissions) by generating a placeholder email address and flagging for the customer's admin to update post-migration.

  5. Ticket and conversation thread import

    We import Mojo tickets with full message history (Comments) as Events on the corresponding Gorgias ticket. Tickets import in chronological order with parent references resolved (customer_id, agent_id, team_id). We batch imports respecting Gorgias API rate limits (documented at 14 requests per second on the Gorgias developer API) with exponential backoff on limit responses. Pending tickets from Mojo are flagged for the customer admin to configure a Gorgias Rule restoring pending-equivalent visibility. We reconcile ticket count against the Mojo source export before closing the migration phase.

  6. Cutover, validation, and automation handoff

    We freeze writes to Mojo during cutover, run a final delta import of any tickets modified during the migration window, and enable Gorgias as the system of record. We validate record counts across all objects and spot-check 20-30 tickets with full message threads against the Mojo source. We deliver the automation and bot inventory document to the customer's admin team with Gorgias Rules equivalents documented. We support a three-day hypercare window where we resolve reconciliation issues. We do not rebuild Mojo bots as Gorgias Rules inside the migration scope; that work is handled by the customer's admin or a Gorgias implementation partner.
