Okendo’s reimagined Gorgias integration streamlines customer service operations so teams can help customers faster than ever.
Customer service just got an upgrade. As a Gorgias preferred partner, Okendo optimizes customer service workflows, giving teams the tools they need to moderate and respond to reviews directly from Gorgias tickets.
Why update the integration?
It’s all about efficiency.
90% of U.S. customers rate an immediate customer service response (immediate being 10 minutes or less) as “important” or “very important” — making timely responses a critical component for strong customer retention. Additionally, nearly a third of customers expect businesses to respond to emails in one hour or less.
Deeper integration means your systems work better together. By using the expanded Okendo integration, not only will you provide faster response times to customer inquiries, you’ll equip your team to work more efficiently—it’s customer service, evolved. Say goodbye to duplicate data entry, increase productivity with your existing staff, and provide better service—no app-hopping required.
“Okendo’s elevated integration with Gorgias provides merchants with an impressive set of features to create, respond, moderate, and manage reviews all within the Gorgias dashboard. Delivering on our promise of exceptional customer service is a collaborative effort and having a partner like Okendo, whose setting new industry standards for customer reviews, is exactly why this deeper integration will be transformative to the customer experience.”
Philippe Roireau, VP of Business Development and Partnerships
What Does the Integration Do?
Okendo’s Gorgias integration automatically creates tickets in Gorgias based on the content in each Okendo review. Now you have the opportunity to completely moderate, manage, and respond to those reviews from the Gorgias ticket without interrupting your workflow.
Here’s a look at the ways the enhanced functionality can help your business manage the customer experience.

Merchants can even set up rules in Gorgias to immediately assign these tickets to a specific individual or team, ensuring issues are resolved as quickly as possible.

To keep things simple, we’ve tapped into Gorgias’ new API, making it possible for merchants to use existing Gorgias features to complete Okendo actions.Integration users can also create multiple different macros so that teams can easily choose what action they want to complete for each ticket, whether it’s publishing new reviews, publicly responding to customer questions, or sending a private response to handle the more sensitive situations.

Now, our workflow is extremely efficient—we’ve decreased response time by 59%. Our customers feel valued when their voices are heard and acknowledged so quickly. Nothing is more important to us.”
