Back-office variables

Back-office variables a bit harder to use, since each back-office unique. For instance, you can display the ETA of an order, or the order_count of a customer. 

To use a variable from your back-office in a macro, follow the steps below: 

1. Go to the HTTP integration's page that you use to fetch back-office data
2. On this page, copy the integration_id at the end of the url. For instance, if the url is https://sfbicycles.gorgias.io/app/integrations/http/9141, the integration_idis 9141
3. Now, the path to your integration is ticket.customer.integrations["9141"]
4. Head over to a ticket that contains back-office data, and click on the Gear icon
5. Now, follow the data structure to find the name of the variables. All variables have this form: {{ticket.customer.integrations["9141"].data[0].delivery_cost}

That's it. This is probably one of the most complex parts of Gorgias. 

HTTP actions

HTTP actions can be performed with macros as well by adding webhooks directly inside a macro.

Shopify macro actions

HTTP actions can be used to trigger specific actions in Shopify that are not included by default in Gorgias.

Send an account invite for the customer

Title: Send an account invite for the customer
POST: https://your-store.myshopify.com/admin/customers/{{ticket.customer.customer._shopify.customer.email}}/send_invite.json
Headers: Authorization {your-auth-token}

Create a new $10 gift card with a custom code

Shopify Plus allows you to create gift cards for customers. You can use macros to create custom gift card codes in Gorgias, and set the value of the gift card. 

As of now, this require manual setup because the Shopify gift card endpoint is not available to apps. 

Let's add a gift card action to a macro:

1. In the Shopify admin, click on Apps
2. At the bottom of the page, click on Manage private apps

   1. 

3. Click Create a new private app
4. Name it Gorgias gift cards
5. Click on ▼ Review disabled Admin API permissions 
6. Select Read & Write in the price rule section

   1. 

7. Save
8. Copy the API key and password on this website, and add a : between the 2 to get your authorization header

   1. 

      
      

   2. 

9. We're almost there, now head to a ticket in Gorgias
10. Click on Manage macros to open the macro menu
11. Select the macro you want to edit
12. Click Add action and select HTTP Hook
13.  Put the config below

Title: Create a new $10 gift card with a custom code
POST: https://your-store.myshopify.com/admin/gift_cards.json
Headers: Authorization  Basic {copy text from 8b}
Body:
{
    "gift_card": {
        "note": "Created by Gorgias for customer {{ticket.customer.email}}",
        "initial_value": 10,
        "template_suffix": "gift_cards.birthday.liquid",
        "code": "{{ticket.customer.integrations.shopify.customer.first_name}}{{ticket.id}}20GC"
    }
}

LoyaltyLion actions

HTTP actions can be used to trigger specific actions in Loyalty Lion.

To award a given number of points to a customer, create an HTTP hook with the info below: 

Title: Award any number of points to a customer
POST
URL: https://api.loyaltylion.com/v2/customers/{{ticket.customer.integrations["xxxxx"].customers[0].merchant_id}}/points
Headers:
    Authorization Basic {based64 encoded API key}
    application/json
Body: 
{
    "points": 1500
}

Klaviyo actions

If you want to add a customer to a specific Klaviyo list, you can add an HTTP action that will do it for you. 

1. Go to the Klaviyo you want to subscribe customers to.
2. Copy the Subscribe URL. Here is an example: https://manage.kmail-lists.com/subscriptions/subscribe?a=123456789
3. In Gorgias, open a ticket, click on Manage Macros, create a macro, click Add action and click HTTP hook
4. Fill the hook with the info below:

Title: Add customer to Klaviyo list
POST: url from step 2
Body (application/x-www-form-urlencoded): email {{ticket.customer.email}}

Done!

Now, to add a customer to a Klaviyo list, just use the macro.
