Connect Re:amaze to Ringly

Written by Maurizio

Seth can create a Re:amaze conversation for your phone calls. Your customers call, Seth handles the conversation, and the calls that need your team land in Re:amaze with a summary, the full transcript and a link to the call in Ringly.

Re:amaze is in beta. If something doesn't work the way this article says, message us from the chat in Ringly and we'll fix it.

Who this is for

You're a Shopify brand that uses Re:amaze for customer support, and you want phone calls in the same inbox as your email and chat.

Before you start

  • You need a paid Re:amaze plan. API access comes with every paid plan, and Re:amaze has no free plan.

  • You need your Re:amaze address, for example yourstore.reamaze.com.

  • You need the login email and API token of a Re:amaze user who will stay. Seth creates conversations as that user.

What you get

  • Calls that need a person become conversations. When a caller asks for a person, or asks to cancel an order, the conversation lands open in your Support channel.

  • Every call can become a conversation. Turn on Create a ticket for every call and the calls Seth resolved come in too, filed quietly as Done.

  • Summary and transcript on every conversation. The full details sit in a private internal note that only your team sees: the summary, the caller's number, the time of the call, the transcript and a link to the call in Ringly.

  • Tags for rules. Each conversation is tagged Seth AI call, the outcome (resolved, unresolved, unclear, escalated or cancellation request), the call category when there is one, and your store name.

  • No email to your customer. Ringly never emails your customer through Re:amaze. They hear from you when your team replies.

How to connect

  1. Open your Seth and go to the Integrations tab.

  2. Under Add a help desk, click Connect on the Re:amaze card.

The Integrations tab in Ringly. Under Add a help desk, the Connect button on the Re:amaze card is marked.

Fill in the popup:

  1. Re:amaze address: type yours, for example yourstore. Ringly adds .reamaze.com for you.

  2. Re:amaze login email: the email of the Re:amaze user whose token you're using. It starts filled with your Ringly login, which is often the same.

  3. API token: paste your API token (see below).

  4. Click Connect. Ringly checks the address, email and token before it saves anything. When they all check out, a green banner says Re:amaze is connected and now gets this Seth's tickets.

The Connect to Re:amaze popup with its four parts numbered: Re:amaze address (1), Re:amaze login email (2), API token (3) and the Connect button (4).

You can also connect from the Setup tab: open Connect your tools, then Help desk, and click Re:amaze.

If something is wrong, the popup says what, for example That isn't a Re:amaze address. Enter the one you sign in with, like yourstore.reamaze.com. or That email and API token don't match. Use the email you sign in to Re:amaze with and the token from that login. Nothing is saved until the address, email and token are all right.

Where to find your API token

  1. In Re:amaze, open Settings.

  2. Click API Token under Developer.

  3. Click Generate New Token to get one.

The token belongs to that user, and Seth creates conversations as that user. Use the login and token of an admin who will stay. If that person is removed from Re:amaze, Seth stops filing calls until you reconnect.

Choosing what gets a conversation

By default, only calls that need a person get a conversation: a caller asked for a person, or asked to cancel an order. These arrive open.

On the Re:amaze row of the Integrations tab, you can turn on Create a ticket for every call. Then every call arrives. Calls Seth resolved are filed quietly as Done, so they don't fill your queue. Calls Seth couldn't finish arrive open, and so do escalations and cancellations.

This setting belongs to the Re:amaze connection, so it applies to every Seth that sends conversations there.

What a conversation looks like in Re:amaze

A call that needs your team. An open conversation in your Support channel. The subject reads Phone call follow-up - followed by the caller's number. For a cancellation it reads Cancellation request - order followed by the order number. The customer's first message is a short summary that's safe for them to read. Below it, a private internal note for your team holds the full details: the summary, the caller's number, the call time, the transcript and a link to the call in Ringly.

Every other call (only with Create a ticket for every call on). The subject reads Phone call - followed by the caller's number, with one line saying who called and the same private note. Calls Seth resolved are filed quietly as Done. Calls Seth couldn't finish arrive open.

The customer. If Seth has the caller's email, the conversation is filed under that customer. If not, it's filed by phone number. A caller with a hidden number is filed under a contact named Unknown caller.

Will my customer get an email?

Not from Ringly. Conversations Seth creates send your customer nothing, whether they need a person or Seth resolved them. Your customer gets an email only when your team replies, the same as any conversation.

One thing to check: if you set up a Re:amaze workflow or auto-response that emails customers when a new message arrives, it may run for Seth's conversations too. Check it before you connect.

Your team gets notified the same way as any new conversation, under your own Re:amaze notification settings. Calls Seth resolved don't notify anyone.

Disconnecting

  1. On the Integrations tab, click the three dots on the Re:amaze row.

  2. Choose Disconnect.

  3. The popup tells you where this Seth's tickets go next: another help desk you've connected, or your email if Re:amaze was the only one. Click Disconnect to confirm.

Seth stops creating conversations in Re:amaze right away. Conversations already in Re:amaze stay there.

Reconnecting

If the token stops working, for example because it was reset or the user who connected was removed from Re:amaze, the Re:amaze row on the Integrations tab shows Reconnect, and the owner of the Ringly account gets an email. Until you reconnect, calls that need a person go to your email instead of Re:amaze. Click Reconnect, enter the new login email and token, then click Connect. Your address is already filled in.

Using Re:amaze next to another help desk

You can connect more than one help desk, for example Re:amaze, Gorgias, Zendesk, Freshdesk or Help Scout. Connecting one never disconnects another.

Each Seth sends its tickets to one help desk at a time. To switch, click Send this Seth's tickets here on the help desk you want. If you have more than one Seth, each one picks its own.

Which channel gets the calls

Seth looks for the Re:amaze channel with the same address as this Seth's support email. If no channel matches, the calls go to your oldest email channel. To pick a different channel, set this Seth's support email to that channel's address.

More than one store on one Re:amaze brand

Running more than one Seth that should use the same Re:amaze brand? Connect each one to it, and you only set up the token once.

  1. Connect Re:amaze on your first Seth.

  2. Open your other Seth and go to the Integrations tab.

  3. On the Re:amaze row, click Send this Seth's tickets here.

Each Seth picks its channel by its own support email, so each store can land in its own channel.

Route each store with its tag

Every conversation also gets a tag with your store name, which is the company name set on that Seth. Re:amaze keeps the tag's case and drops emoji and commas, and cuts it to 60 characters. Conversations from your Wild West Hardware Seth carry the tag Wild West Hardware.

The Re:amaze row on the Integrations tab shows the exact tag for this Seth. Click the copy icon next to it to copy it. Tags can drive Re:amaze rules, so you can route each store's conversations by its tag.

Seth saves the tag with its first conversation. If you rename your store after that, the tag stays the same, so your rules keep working. Want a new tag? Send us a message.

Using two Re:amaze brands

If one of your brands runs on its own Re:amaze brand, you can connect both. Each Seth picks the brand that gets its conversations.

  1. Open the Seth that should use the other brand and go to the Integrations tab.

  2. Under Add a help desk, the Re:amaze card shows Connected. Click Connect another.

  3. Type the other Re:amaze address, login email and token, then click Connect.

That Seth's conversations now go to the new brand. Your other Seths keep sending conversations where they did.

FAQ

Does this cost extra?
No, the Re:amaze integration is included in Ringly. You need your own paid Re:amaze plan. On a per-seat plan, conversations don't cost extra. On the Starter volume plan, a conversation from Seth counts like any other once your team replies to it.

Does Seth read or change my existing conversations?
No. It works one way: Seth creates new conversations for its own calls. It can't read, edit, close or reply to your team's conversations, and replies don't sync back to Ringly.

Will Re:amaze's AI Agent answer Seth's conversations?
No. In our tests, Re:amaze's AI Agent answered emails from customers but never a conversation Seth created.

Will I still get escalation emails?
Once Re:amaze is connected, escalations arrive as Re:amaze conversations instead of emails. If a conversation can't be created, for example because Re:amaze is down or the token stopped working, Seth sends the escalation email to your support address instead, so no call that needs your team gets lost.

Troubleshooting

Ringly says that isn't a Re:amaze address.
Type the address you sign in to Re:amaze with, like yourstore.reamaze.com.

Ringly says it couldn't find that Re:amaze account.
Check the address again. It should be the one you sign in with.

Ringly says the email and token don't match.
Use the email you sign in to Re:amaze with and the token you generated for that same login.

Ringly says it couldn't reach Re:amaze.
Try again in a minute.

Calls aren't showing up as conversations.
Check that the Re:amaze row on the Integrations tab doesn't show Reconnect. By default only calls that need a person get a conversation, so turn on Create a ticket for every call if you want every call. Calls go to the channel matching this Seth's support email, or your oldest email channel. If they still don't show up, let us know.

Ringly shows Reconnect.
The token was reset, or the user who connected was removed from Re:amaze. Generate a new token for a user who will stay, click Reconnect, and enter it.
