Teams building with Stacksync

Plan the connection your business needs

Explore a Gorgias and InterSystems IRIS integration with a Stacksync engineer. Stacksync support for Gorgias and InterSystems IRIS is not established by the connector documentation reviewed for this page. Start with one record and the update your business needs to identify an implementation path.

01 / Business process

Start with one meaningful update

Identify the record that changes in Gorgias or InterSystems IRIS, where it needs to appear, and which team depends on it.

02 / Data access

Establish the available connection

Bring the objects, account editions, and required directions. An engineer can review the connector path, permissions, and field access.

03 / Success criteria

Define a result you can verify

Agree on record matching, acceptable delay, expected volume, and how your team will resolve failed updates.

Technical referenceAvailable documentation, candidate record relationships, and questions for your technical review.

Architecture decision

Choose how to connect your systems

Choose a method around one example record and the update your business needs. Use Customers / Proposed customer table in InterSystems IRIS (choose its name) to review record matching and confirm Stacksync support for the required operations. Compare ongoing sync, a custom workflow, and a scheduled export against that requirement.

Stacksync managed sync

Best fit
Review compatibility with a Stacksync engineer using an example of the records and updates you need.
Operating responsibility
Fits ongoing record synchronization when the required operations are supported. Add workflow steps for approvals or business actions that go beyond copying fields.
Before you choose
Check record matching: Determine whether each customer represents an individual, a company, or a business-unit relationship before matching it to a contact or organization. Retain the source customer ID and destination ID; names and email alone are insufficient. Verify field coverage, deletion handling, and how changes are detected.

Native vendor integration

Best fit
A vendor-built integration may fit if it supports your Gorgias and InterSystems IRIS record types.
Operating responsibility
Can reduce setup for a supported workflow. You may need another method for records or business steps it does not cover.
Before you choose
First check whether either vendor offers this integration. If available, verify Customers / Proposed customer table in InterSystems IRIS (choose its name), update direction, account tier, and related-record handling.

Custom API or workflow

Best fit
Consider when Gorgias and InterSystems IRIS need a transformation, approval, or action outside a direct record sync.
Operating responsibility
Provides control over business steps; the team owns credentials, version changes, error queues, and reconciliation.
Before you choose
Verify endpoint permissions, pagination, quotas, duplicate detection, and failure recovery.

File or scheduled snapshot

Best fit
Consider for a one-time Gorgias / InterSystems IRIS migration or a reporting need with an explicit freshness window.
Operating responsibility
Can simplify a bounded transfer; later changes and deletion history require another extraction or a separately designed incremental process.
Before you choose
Record the extraction cutoff, source IDs, encoding, date/number formats, and reconciliation totals.

Workflow reference

From a business event to the right update

Open a workflow to see its trigger, record relationships, and expected result.

Customer reporting workflow

Starting event: A change to the selected Customers or Proposed customer table in InterSystems IRIS (choose its name) record needs a defined result in the other system.

  1. Start with Gorgias Customers and InterSystems IRIS Proposed customer table in InterSystems IRIS (choose its name). Use the record-matching and field-ownership rules from your mapping worksheet.
  2. Resolve person or company type, legal entity, business role, and any billing account before transactions.
  3. Test a normal update and one failed or repeated update in the supported direction. Keep both record IDs with the test results.

Expected result: Test an individual buyer, a company buyer, and one company with multiple billing relationships. Do not merge these into a single generic contact.

If it fails: Hold ambiguous customer matches for review and resolve customer type before retrying dependent records.

Support case or ticket reporting workflow

Starting event: A change to the selected Tickets or Proposed support case or ticket table in InterSystems IRIS (choose its name) record needs a defined result in the other system.

  1. Start with Gorgias Tickets and InterSystems IRIS Proposed support case or ticket table in InterSystems IRIS (choose its name). Use the record-matching and field-ownership rules from your mapping worksheet.
  2. Resolve requester, organization, team, and status references before ticket updates.
  3. Test a normal update and one failed or repeated update in the supported direction. Keep both record IDs with the test results.

Expected result: Test a merged ticket, a private note, a reopened case, and an attachment with restricted access.

If it fails: Check whether a reply or notification was already sent before replaying ticket actions.

Application user or identity reporting workflow

Starting event: A change to the selected Users (agents) or Proposed application user or identity table in InterSystems IRIS (choose its name) record needs a defined result in the other system.

  1. Start with Gorgias Users (agents) and InterSystems IRIS Proposed application user or identity table in InterSystems IRIS (choose its name). Use the record-matching and field-ownership rules from your mapping worksheet.
  2. Resolve tenant and group references and establish a protected administrative-account policy.
  3. Test a normal update and one failed or repeated update in the supported direction. Keep both record IDs with the test results.

Expected result: Test a renamed login, disabled account, missing group, and a user existing in two tenants.

If it fails: Review access impact before retrying a lifecycle change; reconcile current identity state and retain an approval trail.

Plan the customer lifecycle across Gorgias and InterSystems IRIS

Starting event: A customer-facing change in Gorgias needs operational context in InterSystems IRIS.

  1. Select the relevant Tickets or Messages records and identify whether the downstream relationship is a person, a company, a deal, or a reporting row.
  2. Define which lifecycle transitions are informative and which should request a downstream action. Keep conversion and merge history connected to stable IDs.
  3. Choose a representative reopened deal, changed contact identity, or reassigned account to test the handoff before expanding.

Expected result: The relationship survives a lifecycle change without creating a duplicate customer or triggering an unintended business action.

If it fails: Inspect merge/conversion history and existing destination records before replaying a lifecycle transition.

Production readiness

Test the behavior your business depends on

Keep both record IDs with the expected and actual result. Reconcile the same filters and time window in each system.

Customers / Proposed customer table in InterSystems IRIS (choose its name)

Test case

Test an individual buyer, a company buyer, and one company with multiple billing relationships. Do not merge these into a single generic contact.

Expected result

The expected customer relationship is preserved with no duplicate action or unintended write.

Tickets / Proposed support case or ticket table in InterSystems IRIS (choose its name)

Test case

Test a merged ticket, a private note, a reopened case, and an attachment with restricted access.

Expected result

The expected support case or ticket relationship is preserved with no duplicate action or unintended write.

Users (agents) / Proposed application user or identity table in InterSystems IRIS (choose its name)

Test case

Test a renamed login, disabled account, missing group, and a user existing in two tenants.

Expected result

The expected application user or identity relationship is preserved with no duplicate action or unintended write.

Messages / Proposed message or conversation table in InterSystems IRIS (choose its name)

Test case

Test a delivery-state change, repeated message, private conversation, and reply linked to the correct thread.

Expected result

The expected message or conversation relationship is preserved with no duplicate action or unintended write.

Direction and permissions

Test case

Bring an example source record and the intended destination operation to the compatibility review. Confirm the supported route before granting write access.

Expected result

Only an approved, supported direction and permitted fields are written.

Freshness and reconciliation

Test case

Measure source and destination times for the selected records under normal load and a burst. Reconcile IDs and values using the same filters and cutoff.

Expected result

The process meets its agreed freshness target and reconciliation has no unexplained differences.

Failure recovery

Find the cause. Restore the data flow.

Start with the failed record and the destination error, then inspect the source value, field requirements, and access.

Rejected or repeated customer change

Investigate

Inspect Gorgias Customers and InterSystems IRIS Proposed customer table in InterSystems IRIS (choose its name), their IDs, and the destination error.

Next action

Hold ambiguous customer matches for review and resolve customer type before retrying dependent records.

Rejected or repeated support case or ticket change

Investigate

Inspect Gorgias Tickets and InterSystems IRIS Proposed support case or ticket table in InterSystems IRIS (choose its name), their IDs, and the destination error.

Next action

Check whether a reply or notification was already sent before replaying ticket actions.

Rejected or repeated application user or identity change

Investigate

Inspect Gorgias Users (agents) and InterSystems IRIS Proposed application user or identity table in InterSystems IRIS (choose its name), their IDs, and the destination error.

Next action

Review access impact before retrying a lifecycle change; reconcile current identity state and retain an approval trail.

A record type or update is unavailable

Investigate

Check the Gorgias and InterSystems IRIS connector guides, account permissions, and any operations marked On Request.

Next action

Ask the integration team to confirm a supported way to handle that record. Verify whether it needs connector configuration or a separate workflow step.

Source and destination disagree after a retry

Investigate

Compare current source values, destination validation, identity mappings, and any side effects already completed.

Next action

Stacksync issue retry reads the current source state. Decide the intended state before retrying or reverting; reconcile downstream effects separately.

Read the Stacksync issues dashboard guide for retry and revert behavior.
