Looking for some insights into how people are using Google Analytics with Gainsight

We use Google Analytics for our high level product analytics and had this set up to come into Gainsight. It stopped working some time back and I understand that there were some wider issues with Google that Gainsight we’re working on (that are still in progress). Was looking to see from the community how other people are using Google Analytics with Gainsight and what insights and tips etc they could share.

Merge 2 dataset without join condition

Hi,I have one dataset with my company data and the standard deviation of one of these fields. I want to merge it with another dataset where I have only one record with the Average for the same field but for the whole population.If I merge them keeping the record with both dataset, I get one line with the average of the population but all the other fields blank and the other lines with all the fields filled in but the average of the population.Now, what I am trying to achieve, is to compare the average of the whole population with the value of the field per line. So what I need to do is to have that value repeated for each line.Any idea how can I achieve it?

Best Practice for conact versus person

We are new to GS and just went live last week. Any recommendations on best practices on synching Contacts/persons between SF/Gainsight.When a person/contact is missing is it best to just have that contact record created in SF and have it push over to GS or go ahead and create the person in GS and write a rule to write back to SF. Is there benefit to one way or another?

Marketo Connector

We’d like to integrate Marketo data, I see that in the old connectors menu there’s an option to set up Marketo connector but it’s not in the new connectors 2.0 menu - can we still use the old one or should it be set up differently in the 2.0 menu?

Load Opportunity Attachments from SFDC to Gainsight

Hi folks, has anyone ever brought in Opportunity attachments (specifically PDF contracts) into Gainsight for CSMs to easily reference? The object I have narrowed it down to in SFDC is Attached Content Document; however, the Rules Engine a) does not actually let me query anything on it, and b) shows only Account and Customer Info as lookup objects, even though the attachments actually sit on the Opportunity. I’d like this to either easily live on the Opportunity related list as a link to download the PDF or create a separate related list with all attachments from SFDC (narrowing down by Type would be nice but can be dealt with).

Integration with Docebo

Has anyone set up an integration with a LMS? We use Docebo, so it would be great if anyone else has specifically worked with this tool. However, I’d be interested to hear from anyone who has set up any LMS at all. I’m looking to get some help with the architecture of this integration and curious to see how others have set this up. Thanks!

What is the long term strategy/roadmap around dataset creation?

I feel like many posts throughout the community have shown a significant interest in having a ‘query library’ in that you could create datasets in a single location and then reference them throughout the platform. This has been highlighted as a need in Program development, having to create all Queries in Rules Engine for troubleshooting, and then building a second time in Programs (which has since been solved for with execution history but it’s duplicative if an existing Rule is exactly what is needed in a Program). It’s been highlighted as a need within Programs and the ability to duplicate a query as a second participant source within a program. It’s been highlighted as a need for reporting. Data Designer -sort of- solves for this - but it’s not in replacement of, it’s in addition to. And now we have Segments. So you can reference Data Spaces, Rules Engine, Data Designs, Query Builder, and Segments. For Programs, data designer present the issue of the design refreshing indepe

Deleting Data from Data Management

Yesterday we had usage data loaded into a custom object twice which has caused inflated usage. I read the article that indicates I can delete data from Data Management if I apply a filter that only shows the data I need to delete but I’m running into an issue where I can filter to the DATE but not to the exact TIME of the duplicate data entries. Has anyone been able to work around this?

Calculated Field using IF statements - and related object (Roll-Up Summary)

Is it possible to use IF statements in a calculated field, and reference a related object? We have an object for Provisioned Services (which are basically professional service hours, purchased by the client) which are related to a Company. These have different departments, and also different Status’ (Provisioned, Fulfilled, Expired). Is there a way to get a roll-up summary with different slices such as; Customer Success Hours - Provisioned Customer Success Hours - Fulfilled On the Company level? I am currently doing it via Rules Engine every 2 hours, using a number of transformation/pivot tasks, which seems very cumbersome.

relationship person

How do you remove Relationship Person if your source of truth object is salesforce contacts? We have checkboxes on salesforce contacts that indicate relationship. My question is how do other companies maintain this? My concern is having to rely on CSMs to remember to uncheck the boxes on contact when they have a contact leave.

Changing the name and adding description to slack Avatar table

Hi team, We had one of our customers finding it hard to find the Slack Avatar table for pulling some data. The table has been renamed as “Companyname”_User. So they were having a hard time identifying the object as the name doesn’t really say much and there is no description available. So would it be possible to Change the name of the table to something that says it is related to Slack? And also to add a description? Let me know your thoughts.

Hi all, we’re using UI Views > Customer 360 to edit what’s available to our support team using the Gainsight widget in Zendesk. They need to be able to see more than 10 fields as appears to be the current limit. Are there any workarounds or custom configurations for this?

SFDC Connector 2.0 Versus Rules Engine for Loading Accounts

We are looking into moving away from Gainsight Connect as it is pulling non-customer and inactive accounts into our Company object. Is there an advantage to using SFDC Connector 2.0 versus creating a rule to populate the object? Also, we found in the SFDC Edition documentation that if any data which was previously inserted into Gainsight from Salesforce, is modified in Salesforce, corresponding data in Gainsight NXT is updated. Is anyone using the SFDC Edition and can confirm SFDC record changes are pushed into Gainsight or if NXT is indeed required? Thanks.

Alphabetize Dropdown lists in MDA

Customer is using COVID assets from Solution Marketplace. One of the dropdown asset is ‘Vertical’. Verticals listed in this list should be alphabetized. You can argue that you can upload an alphabetized list. But what happens when they add more verticals? The list will get out of order. It is a simple ask from the customer and will greatly improve their experience.

Is it possible to have a GS account without a Salesforce account and still fire CTAs?

Is there a way to track a Gainsight account to Salesforce account that is linked to a different Salesforce account. Or - is there a better way to get around this situation? We need to figure a way to have the new brand have its own GS account and fire CTAs even though there is no Salesforce account Company A is the parent account of multiple brands we work with: Company A, Company B, Company C and now Company D. The Comany A account in Salesforce used to represent Company A only, and separately to this, we had a Salesforce account for Company B, and a Salesforce account for Company C. This worked well with Gainsight, where they each had their ARR, their CTAs, and their usage and so on. We have now brought a new brand on board: Company D. They signed on the same paper as the other brands and were therefore merged to the Company A account in Salesforce, instead of having their own separate account. This is causing issues for CS, as Company, a brand new customer, don't have their o
