Gainsight has lots of good news to share with the Community! 

 

Admin Certification

 

Are you managing your Gainsight instance, creating rules, automating functionality, building reports and responsible for the overall maintenance of your Gainsight implementation? It’s time to validate your skill set by becoming a Certified Gainsight Administrator! Click here to learn more.

 

Send Emails to Timeline

 

Our Email to Timeline feature is coming out of Beta and will be available to all customers with the Feb. 19 V5.23 release! 

 

Gainsight enables users to log customer communications as Timeline Activities using a unique inbound email address. Previously, CSMs had to copy and paste customer email content from their inbox to a Timeline activity. Now, using the unique inbound email address, CSMs can automatically log their customer emails to Timeline for accounts and relationships. This feature helps you record your history of significant interactions, so CSMs, Execs, and Sale reps, for example, can quickly get up to speed and understand the customer relationship by reviewing Timeline. More info coming soon!

 

This feature will be available in Sandbox and Production orgs on Feb. 19.

 

Success Snapshots Reimagined

 

Our new Success Snapshots 2.0 feature enables users to create slides with their own Powerpoint template and easily add in key Gainsight reports, making it easier than ever to prepare for customer meetings. This feature is going to be rolled out to customers gradually, so stay tuned for more info!

 

Release 5.23 Coming Soon

 

The Sandbox release of V5.23 is going out starting Feb. 5 to customers with Sandboxes who opt in to automatic upgrades. The Production release will go out on Feb. 19!

 

Draft release notes are available now.

    I will pass your feedback along to training, and encourage them to share some FAQs! We're excited to roll out the new certification program, and some details are still being ironed out. ;)

    Hi Jeff,

    Thank you for asking about the Admin Certification!

    You are correct that we did offer an earlier Gainsight Certification that was a closed book, proctored exam. Our new certification is similar in that it will also be a closed book, proctored and timed exam. However, as Gainsight features have changed considerably over the last few years, the content in our exam has as well.

    Traditionally, Certifications have an expiration period around 2 years. Since we didn’t identify an expiration on the original exam, we’d like to invite all Gainsight Admins who completed the original exam to take this one at no cost.

    I will reach out to you and all admins who completed the prior exam by end of week with a discount code for the new certification.

    Additionally, I am developing an FAQ document that will be published by end of day today on Gainsight Community that may answer any other questions you might have.

    As always, thank you for your continued partnership with Gainsight!

    -Evan
