Use HumanMeter inside Gorgias
When a customer says their order arrived damaged, your agent sends a photo link from the ticket. The customer takes the photos live on their phone, and the risk level shows up right in the ticket sidebar.
Connect with one click
We add the integration, the sidebar card and a reply macro to your Gorgias account for you. You need to be logged in to HumanMeter in this browser.
Prefer to set it up yourself? Follow the steps below instead. They do the same thing.
Before you start
- A HumanMeter Claims account. No account yet? Start a free trial. It takes a minute and needs no card.
- Your HumanMeter API key. You saw it when you signed up. Lost it? Get a new one on your dashboard under API key.
- Admin access to your Gorgias account. Only the account owner and admins can add an HTTP integration.
If you paste it here, we fill it into the steps below so you can copy everything as is. It stays on this page and is never sent anywhere.
Add the HTTP integration
This lets Gorgias ask HumanMeter for each ticket's photo link and result.
- In Gorgias, click the Settings icon in the bottom left corner.
- Under Account, click HTTP integration. If you can't find it, type "HTTP" in the settings search.
- Open the Manage tab and click Add HTTP integration.
- Fill in the form. Use the copy buttons so nothing gets mistyped.
Integration nameHumanMeter photo checkURLhttps://human-meter-server.onrender.com/v1/gorgias/ticketHTTP methodPOSTRequest content typeapplication/jsonHeader keyAuthorizationHeader valueBearer YOUR_API_KEY
Replace YOUR_API_KEY with your HumanMeter API key. Keep the word Bearer and the space after it.
Request body{ "ticket_id": "{{ticket.id}}", "order_ref": "{{ticket.customer.integrations.shopify.orders[0].name}}" }The order line pulls the customer's latest Shopify order number. Not on Shopify? Leave it in anyway. The order number just stays blank.
- Under triggers, tick Ticket created, Ticket updated and Ticket message created.
Don't tick "Ticket assignment updated" or "Ticket status updated". Gorgias turns the other triggers off when you pick either of those.
- Click Add integration.
- Look at your browser's address bar. It ends in a number, like .../http/48213. That's your integration number. Type it here, and we'll put it into step 3 for you:
Show the result in the ticket sidebar
You do this once. After that, every ticket shows the HumanMeter card.
- Open any ticket. Gorgias only calls HumanMeter when a ticket changes, so add any tag to the ticket (for example "damage"), then refresh the page.
- In the right sidebar, click the gear icon to edit the sidebar.
- Click Custom integrations, find HumanMeter photo check, and drag it into the sidebar.
- Remove the fields you don't need and rename the rest. We suggest keeping these:
Field Rename to What it shows risk_labelRisk Low risk, Needs review, High risk, or No photos yet reasonsWhy The reasons behind the risk level, in plain words link_statusPhoto link Whether the customer has opened the link and sent photos photos_takenPhotos How many photos the customer took (up to 3) ticket_idTicket Which ticket this result belongs to open_in_humanmeterOpen in HumanMeter Opens this claim and its photos on your dashboard account_noticeAccount Only filled in if your trial or plan needs attention - Click Save, then leave edit mode.
Add a macro that sends the photo link
Your agents pick this macro in any damage ticket, and the customer's own link is filled in.
- In Gorgias, go to Settings, then Macros, and click Create macro.
- Name it:
Send HumanMeter photo link
- Paste this as the response text. Edit the wording if you like, but keep the line with the link exactly as it is.
Replace INTEGRATION_NUMBER with the number from step 1.
- Click Create macro.
Try it on a test ticket
Two minutes, so you know it works before a real customer sees it.
- Email your support address from your own email, saying something like "my mug arrived broken".
- Open that ticket in Gorgias. The HumanMeter card should say No photos yet and Not opened yet.
- Apply the Send HumanMeter photo link macro. Check that a link starting with https://humanmeter.app/c/ appears in the reply, then send it.
- Open the link on your phone and take a photo. Reply to the email, and the card updates to show the risk level.
Link missing from the reply? The ticket probably hasn't loaded the HumanMeter data yet. Add a tag, refresh the page and apply the macro again. If it's still blank, check the integration number in the macro, and check the Account field in the sidebar in case your trial or plan needs attention.
What the risk levels mean
The customer never sees the risk level. They only see your store name, the order number and the camera.
Questions
Does every ticket use up my photos?
No. Gorgias asks HumanMeter about every ticket, but photos only count when a customer actually takes one. Each ticket gets one link, and asking again returns the same link.
Will my dashboard fill up with empty claims?
No. A claim only appears on your dashboard once the customer opens the link. It's labeled with the Gorgias ticket number.
How long does a link last?
An unopened link works for 30 days. Once the customer opens it, they have 3 days to take the photos. If it runs out before any photos are taken, the ticket gets a fresh link next time Gorgias checks in, so just apply the macro again.
Which Gorgias plan do I need?
Any. Gorgias includes HTTP integrations and macros on all Helpdesk plans.
What if the same customer has two open damage tickets?
Gorgias keeps one HumanMeter result per customer, from whichever ticket changed most recently. Before you send the macro, check that the Ticket number in the sidebar matches the ticket you're on. If it doesn't, add a tag to this ticket and refresh.
I got a new API key. What do I change?
The old key stops working right away. In Gorgias, open the HumanMeter HTTP integration and replace the key in the header value.
