How to Automatically Open a Gorgias Ticket When Someone Leaves a 1-Star Review on Loox

Quick Answer: To automatically open a Gorgias ticket when someone leaves a 1-star review on Loox, use Shopify Flow. In Loox, open Settings then Integrations, find Shopify Flow and turn on the New review trigger. In Shopify Flow, build a workflow that starts on a new Loox review, adds a condition that the rating is 1 or 2 stars, then runs a Create ticket in Gorgias action. The ticket carries the reviewer name, email, product, score and comment, so your team can reply fast. This means every angry review becomes a support case instead of a public wound. Stores that reply to negative reviews quickly can recover up to 30 percent of unhappy buyers.

The friction point

You are a marketing director, not a help desk. Loox keeps collecting photo and video reviews, and most of them are great. The problem is the few that are not.

A 1-star Loox review sits in public while you are busy. You are spending on Meta and Google to win that customer, and a bad review with no reply tells the next shopper to leave. Manual checking does not scale, and a generic bot reply on a real complaint looks cheap and makes it worse.

You need two things. The bad reviews must reach a human in Gorgias right away. The good reviews still need a warm reply so your Loox widget keeps converting.

Replies = Revenue

Every review is a moment that either earns or burns your ad spend. Here is what changes when 1-star Loox reviews route to Gorgias automatically and AI handles the rest.

Moment	The old way	The AI way	The gap
1-star Loox review	Sits public for days, no one sees it	Becomes a Gorgias ticket in seconds	Faster recovery, fewer refunds lost
Reply speed	Whenever an agent has time	Instant for good reviews, real human for bad	Up to 14 percent more conversions on review pages
Brand voice	Copy-paste templates	Learned from your past replies	Replies sound like you, not a bot
Ad spend	New visitors see silence	New visitors see you care	Lower wasted CAC
Team load	Agents read every review	Agents only see escalations	Hours back each week

A step-by-step blueprint

You can wire Loox to Gorgias in an afternoon. Then layer AI on top so you are not replying to the happy reviews by hand.

Turn on the Loox review trigger

Open Loox Settings and go to Integrations, then Shopify Flow, then click Manage.

Toggle the New review trigger on. This lets Shopify Flow react to every new Loox review event, including the rating and comment.

Confirm Gorgias is connected to your Shopify store so the ticket action is available in Flow.

Build the Shopify Flow workflow

Create a new workflow in Shopify Flow and pick the Loox New review submitted trigger.

Add a condition that checks the review rating. Set it to 1 or 2 stars so only negative Loox reviews continue. You can tighten it to 1 star only later.

Add the Create ticket in Gorgias action. Map the reviewer email as the sender, and pull the product title, star score and review text into the ticket body. Shopify even publishes a ready template called Create a ticket in Gorgias when you receive a negative Loox review.

Route and tag the ticket in Gorgias

Set a clear subject like "1-star Loox review from {customer}" so agents triage at a glance.

Add a Gorgias tag such as loox-negative so you can report on volume and response time.

Assign or set priority so the ticket lands with the right person, not a shared pile.

Let AI handle the 3 to 5 star reviews

Connect Rose to Loox so every positive review gets a reply in your brand voice within seconds.

Keep humans on the hard cases. Rose answers the good reviews and routes anything serious to Gorgias, so your team only touches what matters.

How the AI protects your brand

Speed is good, but only if the replies sound right and the wrong reviews never get an auto reply. This is where Rose adds a guardrail on top of your Loox and Gorgias setup.

Rose learns your brand voice from your past Loox replies, your marketing emails and your style guide. So a reply reads like "You're right though, three days means three days and we missed it" and not a stiff template. Every positive Loox review gets answered instantly, in your voice.

The hand-off is the important part. Rose never blindly answers a 1-star review, a refund request, a safety issue, an order lookup or a technical fault. It escalates those to Gorgias as a ticket, the same path your Shopify Flow uses, so a human owns the recovery. If you run Zendesk instead, you can route negative Loox reviews to Zendesk the same way.

Rose also mines your Loox reviews for product feedback. Repeated complaints about sizing or packaging get surfaced so they feed new product decisions.
