Overview
Moving from REVE Chat to Gorgias is a model-shift migration, not a record copy. REVE Chat organizes around Conversations and Chat Sessions as the primary objects with Tickets as a secondary record type. Gorgias inverts this: Tickets are the primary object with customer information tied to an e-commerce data model (Customers linked to Orders and Products). We resolve that structural inversion during scoping by mapping REVE Chat Conversations to Gorgias Tickets and collapsing Chat Sessions into Ticket threads. Customer profiles migrate with all standard fields plus custom labels, and we link them to any e-commerce order data the customer provides. Agent profiles map to Gorgias Users with role and team assignment preserved. We do not migrate chatbot flows (Visual Flow Builder is proprietary), automations, or Reports as code; we deliver a written inventory of these for the customer's admin to rebuild in Gorgias Rules.
Every standard and custom field arrives verified.

Object mapping
Each row shows how a REVE Chat 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.
REVE Chat
Conversation
Gorgias
Ticket
1:1REVE Chat Conversations map to Gorgias Tickets. Each Conversation record (with transcript, agent attribution, customer messages, and system events) becomes a Ticket with the full message thread preserved in the Ticket conversation pane. The Conversation status (open, pending, resolved, closed) maps to Gorgias Ticket status. We preserve the original conversation start timestamp as the Ticket created_at and resolve the customer reference to the migrated Customer record. Note that REVE Chat Conversations may span multiple Chat Sessions; we collapse session metadata into ticket attributes rather than creating multiple Tickets.
REVE Chat
Chat Session
Gorgias
Ticket Thread
1:manyMultiple REVE Chat Chat Sessions linked to a single Conversation collapse into one Gorgias Ticket. Session-level metadata (source channel, device info, page context) is preserved as Ticket attributes or ticket events. If a REVE Chat account has Conversational Commerce flows where sessions were intentionally split across topics, we flag this during scoping and offer the option to create separate Tickets per session.
REVE Chat
Customer
Gorgias
Customer
1:1REVE Chat Customer profiles (name, email, phone, company, custom labels) map to Gorgias Customer records. The email field serves as the dedupe key during import. If the customer provides e-commerce order data (Orders CSV or API export), we link Customer records to Gorgias Order objects during migration. Custom labels stored as key-value pairs on REVE Chat Customer profiles migrate to Gorgias Customer Properties (metadata fields on the Customer object).
REVE Chat
Agent
Gorgias
User
1:1REVE Chat Agent records (display name, email, role: admin/supervisor/agent) map to Gorgias Users. Role mapping: REVE Chat admin maps to Gorgias admin, supervisor maps to agent with team-lead context, and agent maps to agent. We resolve agents by email match against the destination Gorgias account's user table. Any agent without a matching User is held in a reconciliation queue for the customer's admin to provision before record import resumes.
REVE Chat
Ticket
Gorgias
Ticket
1:1REVE Chat Ticket records (status, priority, assignee, tags, linked conversation) map to Gorgias Tickets. Ticket status (open, pending, resolved, closed) migrates directly. Priority migrates to Ticket priority. Tags migrate to Gorgias Ticket tags. Assignee migrates by resolving the REVE Chat agent reference to the corresponding Gorgias User via the agent email mapping. Linked conversations map to the Ticket conversation thread that was created from the parent Conversation.
REVE Chat
Canned Response
Gorgias
Macro
1:1REVE Chat Canned Responses (saved reply templates with shortcut triggers) map to Gorgias Macros. The template body and shortcut key migrate intact. Note that some canned response fields may be plan-gated on REVE Chat (Starter vs Growth tier), which we verify during scoping. Macro triggers in Gorgias are applied manually or via Rules; we document which Macros map to which ticket events for the customer's admin to configure post-migration.
REVE Chat
Department
Gorgias
Team
1:1REVE Chat Department records (controlling routing and agent assignment) map to Gorgias Teams. We preserve department configurations and linked routing rules. In Gorgias, Teams are assigned to Channels and Rules, so the department routing logic maps to a combination of Channel assignment and Rule conditions. We document the routing logic during scoping so the customer's admin can configure Gorgias Teams and routing Rules post-migration.
REVE Chat
Chatbot
Gorgias
Gorgias Rules (documentation)
lossyChatbot flows built in REVE Chat's Visual Flow Builder (including trigger conditions, decision branches, and response actions) do not migrate as code because the Visual Flow Builder uses a proprietary format with no export mechanism. We export the flow logic as a documented workflow description and deliver it as a written inventory for the customer's admin to rebuild using Gorgias Rules. For teams using REVE Chat Brain AI for automated responses, we flag that Gorgias's AI assist features (available on Pro tier) provide similar automation with a different trigger model.
REVE Chat
Reports and Analytics
Gorgias
Reports (inventory)
1:1REVE Chat reporting is conversation-centric (response time, agent activity, session counts). We export available metrics as a CSV report delivered alongside migration data. Gorgias reporting is ticket-centric with CSAT, first response time, resolution time, and channel attribution. We document which REVE Chat metrics have Gorgias equivalents and which do not, flagging gaps in SLA adherence reporting and session-level analytics. The customer's admin rebuilds dashboards in Gorgias's Reports section post-migration.
REVE Chat
Media Attachments
Gorgias
Attachment
1:1Files and images shared within REVE Chat conversations are exported alongside transcript records. We preserve attachment URLs pointing to REVE Chat storage and include attachment files in the migration package. In Gorgias, attachments are stored within Ticket records. We flag that customers should confirm their Gorgias storage limits (Standard and Pro plans include higher storage allocations) and consider downloading critical attachments to a separate archive for long-term retention.
REVE Chat
Voice Call
Gorgias
Ticket (voice subtype)
1:1REVE Chat voice bot and audio call records (session subtypes with duration, direction, and outcome) migrate as Ticket records with a voice channel indicator. Call metadata (duration, direction) is preserved as ticket attributes. Note that the REVE Chat voice channel requires separate infrastructure validation if voice calls were made via SIP or PSTN integration; we flag this during scoping and recommend confirming with the Gorgias team whether voice channel handling (via Twilio or native) is in scope for the migration.
REVE Chat
Social Channel (Facebook, Viber, WhatsApp, Telegram)
Gorgias
Channel
1:1Social channel records from REVE Chat (Facebook Messenger, Viber, WhatsApp, Telegram) are linked to Conversations and preserve message content, channel source, and customer profile. We map these to Gorgias Channels (Facebook, Instagram, Twitter/X, and additional channels supported via integrations). Note that Instagram and WhatsApp may be add-ons on REVE Chat Starter plans, which we verify during scoping. Some social channels on REVE Chat (Viber, Telegram) require verification of Gorgias channel availability; we flag any channels that lack a Gorgias equivalent during the mapping phase.

Migration approach
Discovery and plan-tier audit
We audit the source REVE Chat account across plan tier (Free/Starter/Growth/Enterprise), agent count, conversation volume, chat history retention window, channel inventory (web, mobile, Facebook, Viber, WhatsApp, Telegram, voice), canned response count, active departments, custom label schema, and chatbot flow count. We pair this with a Gorgias edition decision: Starter ($15/seat) covers single-channel web chat migrations; Standard ($49/seat) is required for multi-channel (Facebook, Instagram, Twitter) and e-commerce order linkage; Pro ($89/seat) adds AI assist and advanced SLA rules. We confirm whether the customer has e-commerce order data to link and verify channel availability on the destination plan. The discovery output is a written migration scope with record counts, channel mapping, and Gorgias edition recommendation.
Conversation-to-ticket mapping design and schema preparation
We design the conversation-to-ticket collapse rule: one REVE Chat Conversation becomes one Gorgias Ticket, with session metadata (channel source, device info, page context) mapped to Ticket attributes. We design the Customer schema: standard fields (name, email, phone, company) plus custom labels mapped to Gorgias Customer Properties. If order data is provided, we design the Customer-to-Order linkage. We configure Gorgias Teams to match REVE Chat Departments, Channels to match active source channels, and document which Macros correspond to REVE Chat Canned Responses. Schema is validated in the customer's Gorgias sandbox before production migration begins.
Sandbox migration and reconciliation
We run a full migration into the customer's Gorgias sandbox environment using production-like data volume. The customer reconciles record counts (Conversations in vs Tickets in, Agents in vs Users in, Customers in vs Customers in), spot-checks 25-50 random Tickets against the source REVE Chat transcripts, and reviews the customer profile completeness. Any mapping corrections, tag inconsistencies, or status mismatches are resolved here. Customer signs off the sandbox migration before production migration begins.
Agent and user reconciliation
We extract every distinct REVE Chat Agent referenced on Conversations, Tickets, and Departments and match by email against the destination Gorgias account's User table. Agents without a matching Gorgias User go to a reconciliation queue. The customer's admin provisions any missing Users (active or inactive depending on whether the original REVE Chat agent is still active). Department-to-Team mapping is validated during this phase. Migration cannot proceed past this step because User references are required for Ticket assignee and Team membership.
Production migration in dependency order
We run production migration in record-dependency order: Teams (configured), Users (reconciled), Customers (with custom labels mapped), Channels (configured per active source channels), Tickets (with Conversation transcripts threaded, agent assignee resolved via email mapping, and status mapped). Macros migrate as Gorgias Macros with shortcut triggers intact. Media attachments are included in the migration package and linked to Tickets. Chatbot flow logic is delivered as a written inventory document for Rules rebuild. Reports and analytics are exported as a CSV and documented as a rebuild handoff.
Cutover, validation, and automation rebuild handoff
We freeze REVE Chat writes during cutover, run a final delta migration of any records modified during the migration window, then enable Gorgias as the system of record. We deliver the chatbot flow inventory document, the REVE Chat Workflow inventory document, and the reports mapping document to the customer's admin team. We support a one-week hypercare window where we resolve any reconciliation issues raised by the support team. We do not rebuild REVE Chat Workflows as Gorgias Rules or REVE Chat chatbot flows as Gorgias Rules inside the migration scope; that is a separate engagement or an internal admin task.
