Email Assist users in my org are having a difficult time seeing the email history within an email chain as the Gainsight Banner prevents this from being viewed. Once a previous email has been logged to timeline is there a way to get rid of that banner so that the email conversation is visible?

Creating a Digital Onboarding Experience with Gainsight PX

Building a seamless digital onboarding experience for your customers is a complex undertaking, often presenting challenges and requiring careful planning. At Pulse US 2023, Gainsight’s own, Tyler McNally and Harshita Banka shared invaluable insights on establishing the foundations of digital customer success. Their talk emphasized the iterative nature of creating an exceptional onboarding experience, reminding us that even Rome wasn't built in a day.At Gainsight, we are actively developing a Digital Onboarding experience for our latest product line, Digital Hub.

Gainsight Assist - Filter Contacts

 I’d like to know if there is a way in Gainsight Assist  be able to identify parent vs. child records and when multiple records exist with the same name under parent and child. When documenting to the timeline via Gainsight assist  CSMs can't identify which record is the parent and which one is the child, if both records have the same name. I was wondering if there is a way to filter parent and child records, so that when the CSM documents to the Timeline via Gainsight Assist they are assured to be logging under the correct record.Would anyone know if this is possible, or has a similar experience?  Cheers, Ana

How to chain Slider and Guide engagements on a page?

Is it possible to chain two separate engagements — Slider and Guide — on a page so that the Slider is shown first and the Guide is shown automatically after the user closed the (welcome) Slider without forcing the user to refresh the page manually etc? The (welcome) Slider engagement should be shown instantly the user has opened the URL for the first time and it should be shown only once. The (tutorial) Guide engagement should also be shown once but automatically after the user has already seen the (welcome) Slider (once). If it is possible, how to do it?

#2minHowTo : Leveraging Gainsight PX and CS for Role/Persona Confirmation

As most organizations look to create a digital-first experience for their customers, it’s important not to forget some of the benefits of human-first. For example, when you meet with a customer, the conversation tends to change directions to cover everything from your customers personal role to their larger strategy. Creating a similar personalized experience in a digital-first environment is vital. We need to deliver key messaging, guidance, and support, proactively and at the right time. In order to do that, however, it’s important to have a similar conversation with your customers, to understand what’s going on with their business and what’s their role in driving the business forward. (Don’t worry, this doesn’t include ChatGPT - for now…) Let’s talk about why their role is important. By knowing if your customer is an individual contributor or manager, you can tailor the experience to better meet their needs. For example, in Gainsight CS a Customer Success Manager would be classified

Measuring Engagement Impact - Intake Process

Hello PX-ers! Pop Quiz: When should you start thinking of measuring the impact of your in app engagements?   A: Before your engagements even go live!  I find too many users aren’t thinking about how to measure their engagement’s impact until after it has been running.  They then have to make changes to put things in place for measurement and they lose valuable insights on impact in the beginning weeks. To Quote Benjamin Franklin- “If you fail to plan, you are planning to fail!” Hot Tip 🔥: Create an Engagement Intake Process and ensure measurement is included. If you create a process for planning an engagement, you can add elements important for measurement as a step and ensure they are included from the start.  Below is an example of a checklist to go through before creating and launching any engagement. This will match your plan to the configuration needed for measurement in PX. Planning Questions: Who is the intended audience? (persona, previous usage and what stage?)  Do you have

3 Steps to Implement Tech-Touch Processes in Your Customer Success Organization

As companies try to overcome inefficiencies, many Customer Success (CS) organizations are looking to automate tasks that can help win back precious time. A “tech-touch” strategy in your Customer Success organization will allow you to scale your operations, improve the effectiveness of your team, and engage your customers in a consistent and timely manner.I’ve worked with many customers to optimize their processes by implementing a tech-touch strategy.  When going down this path, there are a few things to keep in mind.   Define Your Customer Journey The first step is to take a look at each stage of your customer’s journey. Within each of these stages, document your customer touchpoints.  Taking the time to do this will go a long way in helping you realize where and how your team is spending their time.One of our customers, Popmenu, takes a very systematic approach to documenting daily work processes.

Having a data export functionality to see what made by who

Hey Team, there is a report in salesforce (Data Export) , you can generate, download and see what change made by who in case of more than one admin in the instance. I think this feature also needed if it is available in GS data instance. There may be companies who have more than one Gainsight admins and who worked collaboratively on same data infrastructure. So far what we can see only Modified date and Modified by, but i think that is not enough unless there is a way to see exact change made . This will keep the GS Admin Team Synced on the instance.  Thank you!

Gainsight working with Marketing - Best Practice Discussion

I am part of the marketing operations team at AVEVA. We invested in Gainsight to provide deeper customer insights and we are now researching how we can maximise our investment in Gainsight, utilising the customer insights data across other business units within AVEVA.We want to specifically understand if there are any organisations on the same path using the GS platform in conjunction with marketing, utilising their resources, and technology to provide a personalised customer experience that assists in the development of new opportunity through potential expansion or upsell nurture campaigns.Our current marketing automation tool is Marketo so anyone with the same tech would be great, however utilising any MA would be beneficial. If anyone can assist I would appreciate a discussion to understand how you implemented (technology & process) and any best practice you would be willing to share.Many thanks from sunny but cold Scotland!Cheers Allan

Duplicate goals appearing - Doc update.

In the C360 Customer Goals tab, the user is seeing two of the same goal after adding. This is confusing to some of our end users. There is nothing in the documentation on this being a field that shows all of the recently added goals until you hit dismiss or refresh the page. Is there a way to not show this field or to update the documentation to reflect the actions needed to clear out the orange bar, or to disable it.
