Is it possible to use the filter[roles.rolename][] (or any parameter) for GET user endpoint to return users where they do not have a role?

Hey since the past 2 weeks we have experienced issues with our API calls for federated search... we have had errors such as "InternalServerError".Is anyone else facing these issues?I am able to index the search manually using postman for one item, but once I am sending batches of 50 items it returns the error.

I'm trying to find a better way to manage our help center and onboarding materials. We’re pushing UI updates so quickly that our screenshots and video tutorials feel old within a few weeks, and it’s becoming impossible to keep up. Has anyone moved away from manual docs toward something more automated? I've been looking at using Supademo to build guides that actually follow your clicks through the app. I want to know if that's actually easy to manage long-term or if it’s just another thing that needs constant fixing. I'd love to hear how you guys keep your documentation accurate.

Feels like there should be a way to do this, but I can’t figure it out. Scenario: We have a handful of groups where we want to exclude the group members from receiving our community newsletter. I’ve created a segment with these members, however there doesn’t seem to be a way to say “Email Campaign, don’t send to this segment”, or better yet, to create a segment that excludes another segment. And while I can use filters to say that I don’t want people in X, Y & Z groups, that only returns members who are in other groups, just not the ones that I indicated. Excluding the bulk of our members who are in no groups. Any thoughts or ideas are greatly appreciated! 

Hi! We would love to have a way to create a URL before publishing a post. This would allow us to share links to scheduled posts with colleagues and also include these links in other scheduled posts. Thank you!

We are likely not using the Conversation style on our community and just questions. I notice if a user does not have access to any category with conversations, they still have the option to select Conversation when posting even though there are no categories in the drop down. Is there any way to fix that or just turn off the option for the whole community? Thanks! 

I’m trying to implement updating a custom profile field using a Connector and the Widget Service SDK (PUT method), and I’d appreciate guidance on the correct implementation approach.Specifically: What is the recommended way to update a custom profile field via the Widget SDK? How should dynamic path parameters (e.g., {{userId}}, {{field}}, {{value}}) be configured in the connector? How should those parameters be passed from sdk.connectors.execute()? If the field value contains JSON, what is the proper way to handle it? It would be extremely helpful if someone could share a working example of: The connector configuration, and The corresponding sdk.connectors.execute() implementation in the widget. Looking forward to guidance and best practices.

Hello! Seeking thoughts and experiences on something I got asked about today.Context: One of my colleagues is hoping to use the knowledge base to host some of their guides. Their questions would require integrations/APIs, so wondering if anyone has guidance on what would work.Questions:If they leave files in the articles, can we track who downloaded it through a tool? They asked if they could see beyond the regular analytic dashboard and track which users are viewing the posts. Thanks in advance.

It is clearly not solely based on the amount of time a page was loaded/refreshed.Is it unique views per user? Per session? 

I’m sharing a hidden group invite link to customers who haven’t registered in my community. The UX isn’t great as the person will be shown the ‘You dont have access to this page’ placeholder - not the most welcoming first impression!Any way I can change it so it displays our Community Homepage in the background instead?!Thanks  

Hello! How do people get around not having an “Events” option for the sidebar. 

I have used html to edit the messages in phrases, but what is actually shown is a stripped back html.From this:  To this: 

Is there anything unique or specific to Admin users for widget visibility settings? I added myself (an admin) to a segment and removed myself from another, yet I still see the widgets for the old segments and don’t see the widgets for the new segment. 

Hey,We’re planning to add new sources to our federated search, but we were thinking of color-coding the the different sources in the search results. Has anyone done such CSS application based on the source? Any tips on how to achieve this?

Hi all,We’re starting our Khoros->Gainsight migration and there’s one workflow I have in Khoros Care / ACM that I’d like to replicate. Here’s the current workflow:In ACM, we see a queue of forum posts. When a staff person responds to a thread, we then mark it as resolved (within ACM – this is unrelated to marking a Solution or Best Answer). When it’s marked as resolved, it disappears from our queue. If the discussion receives another response, it returns to the queue so we can check if it needs another staff response or if we can just mark it as resolved again.Is it possible to have a similar flow in Gainsight? Thanks!

Hello, we’re excited to enable AI Answers on our community soon and noticed we have the option of using OpenAI or Google Gemini. Have you tested AI Answers with both? Any difference? 

Hey Team - We’re going to push implemented ideas from Jira to Community via Workato. We’ve got most of it sorted - except all the ideas come over as new. Is there a call for idea status we’ve missed? Any help is appreciated!

Hi Community!I’m floating an idea in my head and wanted to see if the strategy works.🤔I have a robust rank system for our community members (customers) and we currently reserve “rank icons” for our company employees on our community. This makes them visually distinguishable from our customer base which makes up the bulk of our community forum.I have a customer award recognition program I am rolling out and while it’s not tied to Gainsight’s ranks/leaderboard point system, I wanted to leverage something new for visuals like a ‘rank icon’ vs a community badge (as we are climbing up in quantity of badges). My question to community is:What do you think about this strategy? I feel like its fresh and new (for our members) and sets them apart visually in our community feed vs the badges. Is there a

We create a lot of articles for our community. I can follow the metrics at a general level, but not at the author level. We want to know how each content creator’s content is performing.There is no easy way to track this, and I don’t want to work with Excel exports.Then I got an idea:I create a custom role for each content creator. For example: 10 Content Creators → I create 10 custom roles I assign each role to the corresponding creator Finally, I sort Analytics by Author → Custom User Role  The problem is that when I select a custom role from the drop-down menu, there is no data to display. I have tested different time frames and several roles. I also tried adding a Content type filter.Still, there is no data to display.Then I went to the new d

I’m looking for a list of voters for specific ideas. When I searched in this community, the AI gave me this:  Does anyone know if the second bullet is available yet? 

Hi Community,Quick question — does GS CC support automatic group enrollment?For example, if a user selects a specific location or product during signup (or in their profile), can they be automatically enrolled in corresponding groups within GS CC?Thanks in advance!

Has anyone else noticed a change in how many results are being returned in search? There seems to be much less coming up, in some cases on 1 or 2 results returned, we’ve had a couple of users complain now. Is this a bug or are changes being made?

Hello Community!We are looking at integrating our Community with Marketo. Honestly, not sure how to put in the use cases and success tracking metrics.What have been your objectives?What metrics do you track?What are the use-cases you are solving for? 

Another one of our automation scripts broke yesterday. This time, the one that posts Product Updates to the community. Previously, when posting to the API to create a product update, you would need to parse the returned value to get the new ID. This was done by splitting it by “/” (forward slash) and grabbing the fourth item. I unfortunately don’t have an example of what exactly that looked like. The change that occurred last night, it now returns an object with id and publicid fields. While I do think this is a good change and how it should have been done the entire time, I can’t get behind these changes happening seemingly at random, causing our automations to break. Maybe I missed it, totally possible, but I did search my emails and the community and didn’t see any mention of this change.. Snippet from our script on how it retrieved the id previously:
