Gorgias
Corso simplifies how you handle shipping issues, returns, and exchanges, allowing you to manage them all in one place. Typically, customers will directly contact Corso’s Concierge team to initiate a reorder or refund request. However, if a customer reaches out to your support team first, the Corso integration enables you to easily create reorder or refund requests on their behalf.
This guide will walk you through how to set up the integration, use the features, and manage customer claims efficiently.
To integrate Gorgias and Corso together, install the Corso Post Purchase app from the Gorgias app store.
If the integration card in Settings > Integrations displays a warning that the Gorgias app requires an update, follow the link in the warning to update the app before using the features below.
Opening a claim on behalf of one of your customers will feel completely natural and straightforward with the native Gorgias integration.
Viewing a Customer
Section titled “Viewing a Customer”In each customer profile view, you will find a sidebar widget displaying the customer’s three most recent orders. At the top of this widget, you can select from several options, including “Create Shipping Reorder Claim” and “Create Shipping Refund Claim.”
Choose the appropriate option based on whether you need to reorder an item due to loss, theft, or damage, or issue a refund to the customer.
The Claim Form
Section titled “The Claim Form”Next, fill out the necessary information in the form.
Notes to the Corso Team
Section titled “Notes to the Corso Team”Anything placed in the field labeled Notes to the Corso Team will be visible only to Corso team members (and your Gorgias users). Add notes for the Corso team to see, to provide Corso with any information that can help us resolve the claim more quickly.
Any notes in the Notes field will be included in the body of the email sent to the customer once the claim is created

Create Gorgias Ticket Automation
Section titled “Create Gorgias Ticket Automation”You can automatically open a Gorgias ticket whenever a claim is created or finalized using the Create Gorgias Ticket automation rule. This keeps your support team informed without requiring manual action.
How to set it up
Section titled “How to set it up”- Navigate to Settings > Automations in the Corso Admin.
- Create a new rule and select Create Gorgias Ticket as the action.
- Choose the hook that should trigger the rule — either Claim Creation or Claim Finalization.
- Configure the following fields:
| Field | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Sender Email | Yes | The email address of the Gorgias user associated with the ticket. No messages are sent to this address as part of ticket creation. |
| Subject | Yes | The subject line for the Gorgias ticket. |
| Body | No | The body content for the Gorgias ticket. |
| Tags | No | Optional tags to apply to the ticket in Gorgias. |
Template variables
Section titled “Template variables”The Subject, Body, and Tags fields support template variables that are replaced with claim data when the ticket is created. The available variables are listed in the form itself — click any variable chip to copy it to your clipboard. The default subject uses {{claimType}} and {{claimName}} as a starting point.
- Add any conditions you want to apply, then save the rule.
Once the rule is active, Corso creates a Gorgias ticket each time the trigger fires and a link to the ticket appears in the claim timeline in the Corso Admin.
