Overview
Splashtop Remote Support and Gorgias serve different primary functions. Splashtop is a remote access and remote support tool that lets technicians connect to and manage endpoint computers, while Gorgias is a customer service helpdesk that centralizes ticket management across email, chat, social, and e-commerce channels. The migration scope is therefore narrower than a typical CRM-to-CRM move. We map Splashtop Technicians to Gorgias Agents, Splashtop Service Desk Channels to Gorgias Inboxes, SOS support requests to Gorgias Tickets, and Computer Group assignments to a reference structure in Gorgias. Session history does not migrate because Splashtop does not expose a session log export via API or CSV. The Splashtop Streamer deployed on every managed endpoint must be replaced with the new platform's agent during migration. Automations, SOS Call workflows, and web form widgets in Splashtop do not migrate; we deliver a written inventory for the customer to rebuild in Gorgias or via third-party integration. API access for automated migration requires Splashtop Enterprise; non-Enterprise customers fall back to CSV exports from the web console.

Object mapping
Each row shows how a Splashtop Remote Support 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.
Splashtop Remote Support
Technician
Gorgias
Agent
1:1Splashtop Technicians map to Gorgias Agents. Technician name, email, and role assignment (Admin, Technician, User) transfer to the Gorgias agents table. Role-based access permissions from Splashtop (Admin can manage team, Technician can start sessions, User has view-only) map to Gorgias Agent permissions by role tier. The customer provisions the Gorgias agents with appropriate permission levels post-migration. We flag any Technician without a valid email address for admin resolution before agent creation.
Splashtop Remote Support
SOS Request
Gorgias
Ticket
1:1Open and recently closed SOS Call requests from Splashtop migrate to Gorgias Tickets. Each SOS Request generates a Gorgias ticket with the requester name, session code, request timestamp, and channel source. Splashtop's SOS Call PIN codes and session metadata transfer to Gorgias ticket attributes. Closed SOS requests older than 90 days migrate as historical tickets with a 'Closed' status flag. We exclude SOS requests with no requester contact information because Gorgias requires a customer or organization on every ticket.
Splashtop Remote Support
Service Desk Channel
Gorgias
Inbox / Channel
1:1Splashtop Service Desk Channels (available on Enterprise tier) map to Gorgias Inbox channels. Channel names, routing rules, and PIN code configurations transfer as reference metadata in a Gorgias custom field set. The actual channel connections (email addresses, chat widgets, social accounts) must be reconfigured in Gorgias by the customer's admin post-migration because channel credentials (API tokens, OAuth connections) cannot be extracted from Splashtop. We deliver a channel-mapping worksheet to guide this reconnection.
Splashtop Remote Support
Computer Group
Gorgias
Organization or Tag
lossySplashtop Computer Groups map to Gorgias Organizations for IT-managed client groupings, or to Tags for categorization purposes. We export the Group hierarchy as a CSV during discovery and the customer selects the mapping strategy: Organizations if they manage external client accounts (common for MSPs), Tags if they want to label tickets by device category or department. Group names with device counts transfer as reference metadata for reconciliation after Gorgias organization setup.
Splashtop Remote Support
Computer
Gorgias
Customer Attribute (custom field)
1:1Splashtop Computers cannot map to a native Gorgias object because Gorgias does not have a device or endpoint inventory. We store the computer name, group assignment, and last session timestamp as custom attributes on the related Gorgias Customer record. This provides a reference lookup for support agents handling tickets related to specific managed devices. We export the full computer list CSV during discovery and match each computer to a Customer or Organization by the requester's email.
Splashtop Remote Support
Access Permission
Gorgias
Agent Permission (reference)
1:1Splashtop Access Permissions define which Technicians can reach which Computers or Groups. Because Gorgias does not have an endpoint-access permission model, we export the Access Permissions CSV as a standalone artifact for the customer's IT team to use as a reference when re-establishing access controls in whatever endpoint management system they adopt post-migration. The CSV is not imported into Gorgias as data.
Splashtop Remote Support
User Access Role Definition
Gorgias
Agent Role (reference)
1:1Splashtop role definitions (Admin, Technician, User) with their granular permission levels do not map to a Gorgias object. We extract the role-to-permission matrix from the Access Permissions CSV and deliver it as a written role-definition reference document for the customer's admin to use when assigning Gorgias Agent roles post-migration.
Splashtop Remote Support
Web Form (Enterprise)
Gorgias
Custom Field (reference)
1:1Splashtop Enterprise web form widgets with custom fields (name, email, issue description, device type) export as a field inventory during discovery. The field names and types are documented as a reference for recreating equivalent custom fields on Gorgias Tickets. We do not migrate the web form code or configuration because Splashtop web forms are embedded JavaScript widgets that cannot be exported and re-hosted.
Splashtop Remote Support
RDP Profile (Connector)
Gorgias
Not Migrated
lossySplashtop Connector RDP profiles (Profile Name, Deploy Code, Enable Recording, RDP-specific settings) do not have a Gorgias equivalent. These profiles are specific to Splashtop's remote desktop protocol handling and are excluded from the migration scope. We deliver a CSV export of all RDP profile names and codes as a reference for any future endpoint management tool the customer selects.
Splashtop Remote Support
Session History
Gorgias
Not Migrated
lossySplashtop session history is not available via the public API or admin console CSV export. No session records (session start/end times, duration, actions taken, chat logs within sessions) migrate. We confirm this limitation during discovery and note it in the migration handoff document. If the customer requires session audit trails, they must retain Splashtop read access or export session logs manually from the Splashtop console for the period they wish to preserve.
Splashtop Remote Support
Deployment Code
Gorgias
Not Migrated
lossySplashtop deployment codes are scoped to the Splashtop account and tied to the Streamer installation process. These codes are not transferable to Gorgias because Gorgias does not deploy endpoint agents. We deliver the deployment code inventory as a CSV for the customer's IT team to decommission after the migration window closes.
Splashtop Remote Support
Workflow / Automation (Service Desk)
Gorgias
Not Migrated
lossySplashtop Service Desk workflows (trigger conditions, routing rules, automated actions on SOS requests) are Enterprise-tier features that do not migrate. We document every active workflow as a written specification (trigger event, conditions, actions, assigned channel) and deliver it to the customer's admin for rebuild in Gorgias Rules or via a third-party automation integration. This is outside standard migration scope.

Pair-specific challenges
Migration approach
Discovery and tier confirmation
We confirm the source Splashtop account tier (Basic, Plus, Premium, or Enterprise) to determine whether REST API access is available or whether we rely on CSV exports. We enumerate Technicians, Computer Groups, Service Desk Channels, and SOS Requests via API (Enterprise) or CSV (non-Enterprise), and flag any records with missing required fields for Gorgias migration. We identify the Splashtop Service Desk workflow inventory at this stage so we can deliver the automation rebuild document in step 5. The discovery output is a written scope with record counts and data quality notes.
Gorgias workspace setup and schema design
We configure the Gorgias workspace before any data imports: agents are provisioned with appropriate permission levels based on the Technicians list, Inboxes are created to match the Splashtop Service Desk Channels, and custom ticket attributes are added to store Splashtop metadata (computer name, group, deployment code reference). We confirm the customer's chosen mapping for Computer Groups (Organizations or Tags) and set up the corresponding structure in Gorgias. If the customer uses multiple e-commerce platform integrations (Shopify, WooCommerce), we confirm the integration setup is complete before ticket migration begins.
Agent provisioning and role mapping
We import Splashtop Technicians as Gorgias Agents in dependency order: account owners first, then technicians, then users. Email address is the dedupe key. Any Technician without a valid email is held in a reconciliation queue for the customer's admin to resolve. Role assignments (Admin, Technician, User) transfer to Gorgias Agent permission tiers. We validate agent logins post-import to confirm the agent roster matches the source before proceeding to ticket migration.
SOS Request migration to Gorgias Tickets
We run SOS Request migration into Gorgias as Tickets, mapping requester name and email to the Customer record, request timestamp to ticket created_at, and channel source to the Gorgias channel field. Open SOS requests with active session codes migrate with 'Open' status; recently closed requests migrate with 'Solved' status. We skip SOS requests with no requester contact information because Gorgias requires a customer on every ticket. Each migrated ticket receives a custom attribute linking back to the original Splashtop request ID for reconciliation. We run row-count reconciliation against the source CSV before closing the ticket phase.
Service Desk channel and automation handoff
We deliver the channel-mapping worksheet listing every Splashtop Service Desk Channel and its intended Gorgias Inbox destination. The customer's admin reconnects channel integrations (email, chat, social) in Gorgias during this phase. We also deliver the Splashtop Service Desk workflow inventory as a written document with trigger descriptions, condition logic, and action sequences, mapped to recommended Gorgias Rules equivalents. The admin rebuilds these automations post-migration; this rebuild work is outside standard migration scope but is documented for their reference.
Cutover, validation, and endpoint migration manifest delivery
We freeze Splashtop SOS writes during cutover, run a final delta migration of any requests created during the migration window, then confirm Gorgias as the active support system. We deliver the endpoint deployment manifest (computer list CSV) for the IT team to use when replacing Splashtop Streamer with their chosen remote access agent. We deliver the Access Permissions CSV and RDP Profile CSV as standalone reference artifacts for the IT team to decommission. We support a 72-hour hypercare window for ticket reconciliation issues raised by the support team.
