How We Help

Connecting Gorgias (customer support) with Help Scout (customer support) is one of the most requested integrations among Australian Retail & E-commerce and Hospitality & Tourism businesses. This integration eliminates the manual transfer of contacts and tags data, reducing errors and freeing up your team to focus on growth. On the technical side, Gorgias uses a REST + Webhook API with API key authentication, and Help Scout authenticates via OAuth, which our team handles as part of the build.

Custom-Built for Your Workflow

Unlike generic connectors, we build integrations tailored to how your business actually uses Gorgias and Help Scout. Custom field mappings, business rules, and error handling included.

Unified Customers Across Both Platforms

Customers in Gorgias and customers in Help Scout stay perfectly aligned. Every update, whether it is a new phone number, email change, or company association, is reflected in both systems within seconds.

Amplify Gorgias Strengths

Gorgias excels because deep Shopify integration shows order details, tracking info, and customer history directly in the support ticket without switching tabs. Connecting it to Help Scout ensures that advantage flows through your entire workflow rather than staying siloed in one tool.

Scalable Without Extra Headcount

As your data volume grows, the integration scales with you. No need to hire additional admin staff to keep Gorgias and Help Scout in sync, even as your business doubles.

Gorgias to Help Scout Use Cases

Sync Gorgias customers to Help Scout customers

Automated error handling and retry for Gorgias/Help Scout sync

When a sync between Gorgias and Help Scout fails due to a rate limit, network issue, or validation error, the integration retries automatically with exponential backoff. Your team is alerted only when intervention is genuinely needed.

Yes, every integration includes 3 months of post-launch support. We monitor sync health, troubleshoot issues, and make adjustments as your workflow evolves. Ongoing maintenance plans are available for businesses that want continuous optimisation.
