Overview

What this migration involves

TrueEngage is a Genesys Cloud overlay that deploys chat, voice, video, and Cobrowse widgets across websites, mobile apps, and kiosks — it has no independent contact or conversation database. Migrating away means pulling the authoritative interaction record from Genesys Cloud (call logs, chat transcripts, dispositions) while documenting TrueEngage-specific metadata (Cobrowse session outcomes, video initiation flags, Widget targeting rules, Feedback form schemas) that lives nowhere else. We use Genesys Cloud's REST API to extract interaction data and map it into Gorgias as Tickets with structured custom fields and a chronological message thread. Widget configurations, routing rules, and Feedback form definitions have no export mechanism — we document them during a joint discovery session and rebuild equivalents in Gorgias. We do not migrate TrueEngage Workflows, automations, or Genesys Cloud routing flows as code; we deliver a written inventory of these for the customer's admin to rebuild in Gorgias or via a Genesys partner. SIP trunking provisioned by TrueEngage is non-transferable; the destination must provision its own trunk for web calling capability.

Why teams make this switch

Two sides of the same decision

Leaving

TrueEngage logo

TrueEngage

What's pushing teams away

  • TrueEngage is a widget layer tightly coupled to Genesys Cloud — leaving Genesys Cloud means losing the entire TrueEngage integration and rebuilding all widget-based contact flows from scratch.
  • No standalone database: contact records, interaction history, and session data are stored in Genesys Cloud, making TrueEngage-dependent metadata vulnerable if the integration misconfigures or breaks.
  • The per-widget billing model charges in packages of 3 widgets, so a deployment requiring 7 active widgets costs the same as 9 — scaling is non-linear and can surprise teams with modest channel requirements.
  • Video and Cobrowse features may require Professional Services for complex configurations, adding unpredictable cost beyond the base widget licensing.
  • Organizations without Genesys Cloud as their core contact center platform have no compelling reason to adopt TrueEngage, limiting portability of the investment.

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 TrueEngage objects map to Gorgias

Each row shows how a TrueEngage 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.

TrueEngage

Widget

maps to

Gorgias

Channel Configuration + Macro

lossy
Fully supported

TrueEngage Widgets (chat, voice, video, Cobrowse deployments on websites, mobile apps, kiosks) have no direct Gorgias equivalent because Gorgias uses channel-level configuration rather than a widget-deployment model. We document the Widget inventory during a joint discovery session — channel type, targeting rules, scheduling, branding, and routing destination — and translate each Widget into a Gorgias channel (chat widget via Gorgias chat integration, email via SMTP, social via channel connects) with a Macro that replicates the routing outcome. Widget targeting rules (geographic, time-based, page-based, visitor-segment conditions) map to Gorgias Rules with conditions. This is a configuration rebuild, not a data migration.

TrueEngage

Interaction (chat, voice, video)

maps to

Gorgias

Ticket

1:1
Fully supported

TrueEngage interactions (chat sessions, voice calls, video sessions) are stored in Genesys Cloud as the system of record, not in TrueEngage itself. We extract interaction data from Genesys Cloud's REST API using the architect data actions and conversation records endpoints. Each interaction maps to a Gorgias Ticket: Genesys interaction ID becomes a custom field te_interaction_id__c; channel type (chat/voice/video) becomes a custom field te_channel_type__c; disposition and outcome migrate as Ticket tags. Agent assignments resolve via email match to Gorgias agents.

TrueEngage

Cobrowse Session

maps to

Gorgias

Ticket Note (custom)

1:1
Fully supported

Cobrowse session outcomes, shared screen metadata, and session duration live in TrueEngage — they are not stored in Genesys Cloud. Gorgias has no native Cobrowse object, so we extract session summaries from TrueEngage during discovery and append them as Ticket Notes with a custom field te_cobrowse_session__c carrying session ID, duration, and outcome. This preserves the Cobrowse context attached to the relevant Ticket rather than losing it during migration.

TrueEngage

Feedback Form

maps to

Gorgias

Macro / Ticket Template

lossy
Fully supported

TrueEngage Feedback Forms (custom questions, branching logic, styling) and submitted responses have no Gorgias equivalent as a stored object. We export the form schema (question text, order, type, required flag) from TrueEngage during discovery and recreate it as a Gorgias Macro or a saved reply template with the same question sequence. Submitted response data maps to Ticket Tags and custom fields on the relevant Ticket. Satisfaction scores from Feedback Forms migrate as a custom field te_csat_score__c on the Ticket.

TrueEngage

Callback Request

maps to

Gorgias

Ticket

1:1
Fully supported

TrueEngage Callback Requests (scheduled or immediate callback offers from website visitors) are queued into Genesys Cloud as callback appointments. We extract callback request records from Genesys Cloud with requester contact, requested time, status, and queue assignment, and create corresponding Gorgias Tickets with a custom field te_callback_request__c set to true, the requested callback time in te_callback_time__c, and request status in te_callback_status__c.

TrueEngage

Contact Center Schedule

maps to

Gorgias

Rule (Availability)

lossy
Fully supported

TrueEngage business hours, holiday calendars, and queue availability rules drive Widget availability and routing. We document the full schedule inventory (timezone, business hours per day, holiday overrides) during discovery and recreate equivalent availability rules in Gorgias. Gorgias availability rules control when chat and email channels accept new tickets; they do not have the same calendar complexity as TrueEngage scheduling, so some multi-timezone and holiday-routing complexity may require a Gorgias Rule or a separate scheduling tool.

TrueEngage

Routing Rule

maps to

Gorgias

Rule

lossy
Fully supported

TrueEngage Widget routing rules (geographic targeting, time-based routing, page-based triggers, visitor-segment conditions) are configured per Widget in the TrueEngage GUI and have no standalone export. We document the complete routing rule inventory during discovery — rule name, trigger condition, routing destination (queue, agent, message) — and rebuild each as a Gorgias Rule with equivalent conditions. Rules referencing Genesys Cloud queues require the customer to define corresponding Gorgias team assignments before migration.

TrueEngage

Visitor (session-scoped)

maps to

Gorgias

Customer

1:many
Fully supported

TrueEngage Visitor records are ephemeral session-scoped browser identities used for proactive engagement triggers; they are not persistent contacts and have no independent value after a session ends. We do not migrate TrueEngage Visitors as records. If a TrueEngage interaction includes visitor email or phone, that contact information maps to a Gorgias Customer record created from the interaction data extracted from Genesys Cloud.

TrueEngage

WebRTC Session

maps to

Gorgias

Ticket (voice channel)

1:1
Fully supported

WebRTC voice and video calls routed through TrueEngage Widgets are handled as standard Genesys Cloud calls. We extract call records from Genesys Cloud — call duration, disposition, recording URL, agent — and map them to Gorgias Tickets with a te_channel_type__c = 'voice' custom field and te_call_duration__c in seconds. Call recordings are stored in Genesys Cloud compliance storage; we preserve the recording URL as a custom field te_recording_url__c on the Ticket and note that the customer must provision independent call recording in Gorgias voice channel post-migration.

TrueEngage

Agent Transfer

maps to

Gorgias

Ticket (reassignment note)

1:1
Fully supported

Cross-channel transfers and escalations (chat to voice to video) during a TrueEngage interaction carry a transfer history log recorded by TrueEngage, while the routing record lives in Genesys Cloud. We extract transfer events from Genesys Cloud conversation records and append them as Ticket Notes with te_transfer_event__c indicating the channel-switch event, source agent, destination agent, and timestamp. This reconstructs the escalation trail within the relevant Gorgias Ticket.

TrueEngage

Customer (from Genesys Cloud)

maps to

Gorgias

Customer

1:1
Fully supported

Customer records are not stored in TrueEngage — they live in Genesys Cloud as the system of record. We extract customer data from Genesys Cloud (contact name, email, phone, organization, any custom person attributes) and create corresponding Gorgias Customer records. The Genesys interaction ID links each Ticket to the correct Customer via Gorgias's customer lookup by email. External_id on Gorgias Customer stores the Genesys person ID for cross-system reference.

TrueEngage

Tag / Label

maps to

Gorgias

Tag

1:1
Fully supported

TrueEngage interaction tags and Labels applied during routing or disposition migrate as Gorgias Tags on the relevant Ticket. We extract the full tag inventory from Genesys Cloud interaction metadata and map them directly. Tags used for routing classification in TrueEngage map to Gorgias Tags that can be used in Rules for ticket assignment and macro triggering.

Pair-specific challenges

  • TrueEngage has no published export API

    TrueEngage publishes no REST or GraphQL API for extracting Widget configurations, routing rules, Feedback form schemas, or Cobrowse session logs. All TrueEngage configuration is GUI-managed with no export button or endpoint. This means we cannot pull TrueEngage data programmatically as we can from most standalone helpdesks. We work around this by running a joint discovery session where we document the current GUI configuration across all Widgets, routing rules, Feedback forms, and schedules — this is a manual, time-intensive step that must be scoped explicitly. Any missed configuration during discovery will not appear in the destination and will require post-migration remediation.

  • WebRTC SIP trunk provisioned by TrueEngage is non-transferable

    TrueEngage provisions a SIP trunk and DIDs in the customer's Genesys Cloud org specifically for WebRTC routing during installation. These are TrueEngage-owned telco infrastructure and cannot be ported or transferred to Gorgias. When migrating away from TrueEngage, the destination Gorgias account must provision its own SIP trunk and DIDs for web calling capability. If the customer is decommissioning Genesys Cloud simultaneously, the existing WebRTC trunk becomes invalid at cutover. We include a telco readiness checklist in the migration plan covering trunk provisioning, DID inventory, and carrier coordination to prevent post-migration gaps in voice capability.

  • Cobrowse and video session metadata live in TrueEngage, not Genesys

    Cobrowse session outcomes and video-call initiation flags are stored in TrueEngage, while the call recording and disposition live in Genesys Cloud. A migration that pulls only from Genesys Cloud reconstructs the call record but loses the Cobrowse context (session logs, shared screens, outcome data) and video-initiation flags. We extract TrueEngage session summaries during discovery and append them as custom Ticket Notes with structured metadata fields so the full session story is preserved in Gorgias. This requires the customer to make TrueEngage session data available to us before decommissioning.

  • Gorgias custom fields require object_type scoping

    Gorgias custom fields are scoped to either the Ticket object or the Customer object and cannot be shared across both. TrueEngage interaction metadata that should appear on both the Ticket and the Customer (for example, a customer-level CSAT score) requires duplicate custom field creation — one on Ticket and one on Customer — with a consistent naming convention and identical label so the migration mapping is unambiguous. We define the custom field schema during schema design and create all fields in both object types before any data is loaded.

Migration approach

Six steps for a successful TrueEngage to Gorgias data migration

  1. Discovery and widget inventory documentation

    We run a joint discovery session with the customer's TrueEngage and Genesys Cloud administrators to document the complete Widget inventory, routing rule logic, Feedback form schemas, Contact Center schedule definitions, and any active Cobrowse or video deployment configurations. Because TrueEngage has no export API, this is a structured review of the GUI configuration. We capture screen recordings and written configuration records for every Widget and routing rule. We also extract a preliminary interaction volume estimate from Genesys Cloud (interaction count, date range, channel breakdown) to scope the migration data volume and timeline. The discovery output is a written Migration Object Inventory covering all objects in scope, their current configuration, and their destination equivalent in Gorgias.

  2. Genesys Cloud API extraction

    We authenticate against the customer's Genesys Cloud organization using OAuth and extract interaction data via the Architect data actions and conversation records REST endpoints. We pull conversations (chat, voice, video), call recordings and disposition data, customer records, queue assignments, and agent assignments within the migration date range. We use exponential backoff and rate-limit handling on the Genesys Cloud API and chunk large date-range requests into 30-day windows to avoid timeouts. The extracted data is staged in a temporary JSONL format for transformation before Gorgias import.

  3. Schema design and custom field creation in Gorgias

    We design the Gorgias custom field schema before any data import. This includes creating te_interaction_id__c, te_channel_type__c, te_cobrowse_session__c, te_csat_score__c, te_callback_request__c, te_callback_time__c, te_callback_status__c, te_call_duration__c, te_recording_url__c, and te_transfer_event__c as Ticket-scoped custom fields using the Gorgias custom-fields API with object_type = 'Ticket'. We also create parallel customer-scoped fields where the customer-level equivalent data should be visible. We configure tag mappings for interaction Labels and routing classification tags. We create the Macro equivalents for TrueEngage routing rules and the saved reply equivalents for Feedback form questions.

  4. Data transformation and record linking

    We transform extracted Genesys Cloud interaction records into Gorgias Ticket format: each interaction becomes one Ticket with message threads (chat, call notes, email bodies) as Ticket messages in chronological order. Agent assignments resolve by email match to Gorgias agent records. Customer records are upserted first so that Tickets can link to valid Customer records by email. Cobrowse session summaries extracted from TrueEngage during discovery are appended as internal Ticket Notes. Routing classification tags from Genesys Cloud migrate as Gorgias Tags.

  5. Test migration into Gorgias staging

    We run a full migration into a Gorgias staging environment using a representative slice of data (typically the most recent 30 days of interaction volume) to validate field mapping, Customer linkage, Tag assignment, and custom field population. The customer's support operations lead reviews 25-50 randomly sampled Tickets against the Genesys Cloud source records and confirms the mapping accuracy. Any field mapping corrections, custom field additions, or message ordering issues are resolved in the transformation layer before production migration begins.

  6. Production migration and cutover

    We run production migration in dependency order: Gorgias Customers first (from Genesys Cloud person records), then Tickets (interaction history from Genesys Cloud with Cobrowse notes from TrueEngage discovery documentation). We freeze TrueEngage and Genesys Cloud writes during the cutover window, run a final delta migration of any records created or modified since the initial extraction, then mark Gorgias as the system of record. We deliver the Widget Configuration Inventory and Routing Rule Map to the customer's admin for rebuilding Gorgias macros and rules. We do not rebuild TrueEngage Workflows or Genesys Cloud routing flows; those are documented separately for a Genesys partner or the customer's admin to rebuild in Gorgias Rules.

Platform deep dives

Context on both ends of the pair

TrueEngage

Source

Strengths

  • Pre-built SIP trunking and DID provisioning via TrueEngage eliminates manual telco setup for WebRTC calling.
  • TrueEngage provisions WCAG-compliant, branded widgets with no code changes required on the customer website.
  • Full call recording and interaction archiving via Genesys Cloud compliance infrastructure rather than a separate retention layer.
  • Visitor Engagement AI provides rule-based and behavioural triggers for proactive outreach without a separate CDP.
  • Multichannel deployment from a single widget management panel — no separate configuration per channel.

Weaknesses

  • TrueEngage has no independent contact or conversation database; it is a passthrough layer, meaning migration data gaps occur when interaction metadata lives only in TrueEngage.
  • Widget configuration, routing rules, and targeting logic have no export mechanism — they must be manually documented and rebuilt on the destination.
  • Per-widget package billing with no per-interaction pricing means small deployments subsidise large ones, and expanding from 3 to 6 widgets doubles the base cost.
  • No publicly documented API for programmatic management of Widgets, routing rules, or Feedback forms — all configuration is GUI-driven.
  • Leaving TrueEngage requires maintaining the Genesys Cloud relationship; TrueEngage has no standalone value without a Genesys Cloud org.

Strengths

  • Shopify and BigCommerce integrations surface order, return, and shipment data natively inside every ticket.
  • Unlimited agent seats remove per-user licensing friction as support teams grow.
  • AI Agent reduces billable ticket volume through automated resolution of high-frequency queries.
  • SOC 2 Type II certified with GDPR-aligned data handling for enterprise procurement readiness.
  • Omnichannel inbox aggregates email, live chat, Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp, SMS, and voice into a single threaded view.

Weaknesses

  • Ticket-volume pricing with overage fees creates unpredictable monthly costs during seasonal traffic spikes.
  • Custom reporting is shallow; raw event-level data export for BI tooling is not natively supported.
  • Knowledge Base, Macros, and Rules lack simple export tooling, making competitive migrations complex.
  • GDPR compliance limitations mean customer data cannot be hidden from agents by role, blocking use by teams with freelance staff.
  • Performance and glitch reports emerge in G2 reviews at higher ticket volumes.

Most migrations land between three and five weeks for deployments under 10,000 interactions and under 10 Widget configurations. Migrations with high interaction volume (over 50,000 records), multiple active Cobrowse deployments requiring session log reconstruction, or simultaneous Genesys Cloud decommissioning requiring SIP trunk reprovisioning move to eight to twelve weeks. The discovery and widget documentation phase is the most variable step because TrueEngage has no export API — the time required depends on the number of active Widgets and routing rules requiring manual documentation.
