Apps are the connecting piece between Gorgias and the rest of the ecosystem: through them, support tickets are created and answered, customer data is ingested, actions on external services are executed. There are two types of Native Apps we own:
Messaging: Apps which allow users to send and receive messages from third-party channels. Those include for example Gmail, Facebook Messenger, or Aircall.
Ecommerce: Apps which allow users to have more data about customers contacting them and to execute actions for those customers. Those include for example Shopify, Recharge, or Magento 2.
