Gorgias Intent Training SOP

Gorgias intents power your auto-tagging, view filters, and macro suggestions. Most brands set up intents once at onboarding and never retrain them. The result: intents that were 80 percent accurate at launch drift to 50 percent within six months as your product line and customer behavior change. This SOP makes intent training a quarterly ritual.

Why this SOP matters

Inaccurate intents cascade through your support operations. Wrong tags break reporting. Wrong routing puts tickets in the wrong queue. Wrong macro suggestions train agents to ignore the AI. Retrain quarterly and you keep automation working for you, not against you.

Step-by-step SOP

  1. 1

    Export the last 1000 tickets with their assigned intent

    Pull from Gorgias reporting. Filter to fully resolved tickets only.

  2. 2

    Sample 100 tickets and grade intent accuracy

    Manager reviews each: was the intent correct? Calculate accuracy percentage.

  3. 3

    Identify the top 3 misclassified intents

    These are your training targets. Don't try to fix everything at once.

  4. 4

    Provide 20-30 manually corrected examples per intent

    Gorgias learns from corrections. More examples = faster learning.

  5. 5

    Add or remove intent rules based on patterns

    If 'refund request' keeps catching cancellation requests, the rules need a cancellation intent split.

  6. 6

    Run a 7-day test period

    Don't push training to production until you've watched a week of fresh tickets.

  7. 7

    Measure post-training accuracy

    Same 100-ticket sample method. Target 80+ percent accuracy.

  8. 8

    Schedule next training in 90 days

    Calendar it. Intent training is a forever job, not a one-time setup.

Common mistakes to avoid

  • ×Retraining all intents at once instead of focusing on the worst performers
  • ×Providing too few correction examples (Gorgias needs 20+ per intent to learn)
  • ×Pushing training directly to production without a test period
  • ×Not measuring accuracy before and after (you can't improve what you don't measure)
  • ×Treating intent training as one-time setup rather than quarterly maintenance

Stop rewriting this SOP every quarter

Record your screen while performing the gorgias intent training. ReccordSOP turns the recording into a SOP with timestamped screenshots. When your live setup changes, drift detection flags it.

FAQ

How often should I retrain Gorgias intents?

Quarterly minimum. After major product launches or campaigns, retrain immediately because customer language shifts.

What's a good intent accuracy target?

80 percent or higher. Below 70 percent and the automation actively hurts your team. Above 90 percent is excellent.

Can I train Gorgias on my historical tickets?

Yes. Use the bulk import feature and correct intents on resolved tickets. This is the fastest way to build a baseline.

I built ReccordSOP after watching too many DTC ops teams lose months to undocumented workflows. These SOPs are battle-tested with Shopify operators running $1M to $50M brands.
