Overview
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.

Object mapping
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
Gorgias
Channel Configuration + Macro
lossyTrueEngage 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)
Gorgias
Ticket
1:1TrueEngage 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
Gorgias
Ticket Note (custom)
1:1Cobrowse 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
Gorgias
Macro / Ticket Template
lossyTrueEngage 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
Gorgias
Ticket
1:1TrueEngage 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
Gorgias
Rule (Availability)
lossyTrueEngage 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
Gorgias
Rule
lossyTrueEngage 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)
Gorgias
Customer
1:manyTrueEngage 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
Gorgias
Ticket (voice channel)
1:1WebRTC 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
Gorgias
Ticket (reassignment note)
1:1Cross-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)
Gorgias
Customer
1:1Customer 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
Gorgias
Tag
1:1TrueEngage 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.

Migration approach
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
