About the Apps Team

The Apps Team is responsible for creating and maintaining Native Apps between external services and Gorgias, as well as enabling others to create apps in Gorgias. Apps are the connecting piece between Gorgias and the rest of the ecosystem: through them, support tickets are created and answered, customer data is ingested, actions on external services are executed. There are two main types of apps:

• Messaging apps: apps which allow users to send and receive messages from third-party channels. Those include for example Gmail, Facebook Messenger, or Aircall.

• Ecommerce apps: apps which allow users to have more data about customers contacting them and to execute actions for those customers. Those include for example Shopify, Recharge, or Magento 2.
