Your integration scope

Start with the update your team needs

Bring the source, destination, and record types. A Stacksync engineer will help establish the available implementation path.

Review the integration scope

Build the right connection

Turn your integration requirement into a clear implementation path

Explore a Gorgias and ServiceMax integration with a Stacksync engineer. Stacksync support for Gorgias and ServiceMax 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 ServiceMax, 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.

Prepare your technical review

Use the worksheets and reference checks to capture record identity, ownership, and the result your business expects.

Implementation reference

Record identity and field ownership

Use these data-model references to describe the records your connection needs. They are planning examples; connector availability and supported operations must be established before implementation.

Customer identityCustomers Contacts

Before linking Gorgias Customers to ServiceMax Contacts, check whether the customer is an individual or a company. Match the correct record type in each system.

Gorgias
Object support to establish
ServiceMax
Object support to establish

Record identity

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.

Field ownership

Separate the customer relationship from contact details, billing authority, and consent. Choose an owner for each field after identifying whether the customer is a person or company.

Fields to include

  • Source customer ID
  • Person/company classification
  • Legal entity or business unit
  • Destination identity reference
Record matchingTickets Cases

Compare whether Gorgias Tickets and ServiceMax Cases describe the same support case or ticket in your business.

Record identity

Retain the ticket ID and distinguish parent tickets, follow-ups, and merged cases.

Field ownership

Agree which queue controls status and assignee; keep private comments distinct from public replies.

Fields to include

  • Source ticket ID
  • Requester reference
  • Status
  • Priority
  • Assigned team

Architecture decision

Choose how to connect your systems

Choose a method around one example record and the update your business needs. Use Customers / Contacts 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 ServiceMax 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 / Contacts, update direction, account tier, and related-record handling.

Custom API or workflow

Best fit
Consider when Gorgias and ServiceMax 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 / ServiceMax 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 sync test

Starting event: A change to the selected Customers or Contacts record needs a defined result in the other system.

  1. Start with Gorgias Customers and ServiceMax Contacts. 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 sync test

Starting event: A change to the selected Tickets or Cases record needs a defined result in the other system.

  1. Start with Gorgias Tickets and ServiceMax Cases. 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.

Plan the customer lifecycle across Gorgias and ServiceMax

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

  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 / Contacts

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 / Cases

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.

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 ServiceMax Contacts, 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 ServiceMax Cases, their IDs, and the destination error.

Next action

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

A record type or update is unavailable

Investigate

Check the Gorgias and ServiceMax 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.

Update timing and record limits

  • Measure initial-load and ongoing-change latency separately. Source detection, selected objects, account limits, and destination validation determine the observed delay.
  • Review write-back, deletion handling, update timing, and account limits with the integration team.
  • Review write-back, deletion handling, update timing, and account limits with the integration team.

Prepare Gorgias and ServiceMax access

Set up both accounts before testing the mapping. Use test records where available, and identify the account administrator who can approve access and help resolve setup errors.

Gorgias setup checklist

  • Identify the Gorgias account, edition, environment, and business objects the integration must access.
  • Confirm a Stacksync connector or implementation path for Gorgias, including read/write support, authentication, and initial-load limits.

ServiceMax setup checklist

  • Identify the ServiceMax account, edition, environment, and business objects the integration must access.
  • Confirm a Stacksync connector or implementation path for ServiceMax, including read/write support, authentication, and initial-load limits.

Prepare to go live

Record the fields each system can update, the first-load cutoff, both record IDs, the expected update delay, and who handles errors. Complete the tests before production before expanding to more records.

Use the Gorgias and ServiceMax planning worksheet to capture these decisions. Record the access owner in the worksheet and enter credentials only in the connection setup.
