Gorgias and Rivo integration explained

Gorgias helps businesses communicate with customers easily. It streamlines conversations across channels into one place and, with the Rivo integration, you can make the most out of the Loyalty program by adding the app to your helpdesk.

Improvement: Ability to adjust points from the Gorgias sidebar is coming soon!

✨ Integrations are available on the Scale and Plus plans. See pricing β†’


Benefits

  • View Loyalty data in your customized sidebar to get context on your tickets and deliver an exceptional customer experience:

πŸ“ Note: You can only see the Loyalty data if the status is Member.


Connecting Rivo with Gorgias

  1. From the Rivo Dashboard, go to Integrations

  2. Find Gorgias and click Configure

  3. Enter your Gorgias account and click Connect

    Gorgias Integration page
  4. A new page will be open. Review the permissions required by Rivo to access your Gorgias helpdesk and click Authorize

  5. You will be taken back to your Rivo account and see both apps connected. The Rivo app will be also added to 'My Apps' in your Gorgias helpdesk.

πŸ’‘ Pro Tip: You can also set up the integration from your Gorgias helpdesk by going to Settings > All Apps > Rivo > Connect App.

  • Change the icon of the widget

  • Rename and delete attributes from the widget.

πŸ“ Note: If you delete the widget and or any of its Attributes, you can always drag the element and drop it into the sidebar.


Using Loyalty data as macro variables

A macro is a pre-made response you can use to respond to your customers faster. When you set up a Rivo variable within a macro, each time you use it Gorgias will replace the variable with the Loyalty data of the customer.

The Rivo Loyalty properties need to be configured as back-office variables, so before you copy and paste the next variables, you need to get the ID of the Rivo integration in your Gorgias account.

How to get the ID?

  1. In your Gorgias account, go to Settings

  2. Go to HTTP integration and click Rivo

  3. Copy the integration ID at the end of the URL (e.g. https://my-account.gorgias.com/app/settings/integrations/http/12002). For example, your ID is 12002

Rivo variables

To display your customer's points balance

{{ticket.customer.integrations[id].data.attributes.points_tally}}

To display your customer's Loyalty status

{{ticket.customer.integrations[id].data.attributes.loyalty_status}}

To display your customer's referral URL

{{ticket.customer.integrations[id].data.attributes.referral_url}}

To display your customer's VIP Tier name

{{ticket.customer.integrations[id].data.attributes.vip_tier_name}}

πŸ“ Note: Replace id with your integration ID.

Common questions

Why can't I see the Rivo widget in my sidebar?

After you set up the integration, it should be executed right after a ticket is created, a ticket is updated, or a ticket message is created. If any of these events happen but you still don't see the Rivo widget in your sidebar:

  1. Open any of your tickets or customer profiles

  2. Click the βš™οΈ button on the sidebar ('Edit widgets')

  3. Find the Rivo widget on the page and drag and drop it into your sidebar

  4. Click Save Changes.

I added the variables to my message but it didn't show the Loyalty data. Why?

There can be multiple reasons why the variables were not inserted correctly:

  • The Loyalty status of your customer is not "member". Gorgias pulls the data of Members only

  • The variables were not added through a macro. You need to copy and past the variable(s) to a macro first

  • You didn't add the correct ID of the HTTP Integration. Read more about it here.

I can't get the app up and running. Can you help me?
