New Idea

Create email assist tokens from opportunity fields

Right now we support only 6 objects for token mappings, Account, Contact, CustomerInfo, CSTask, CTA and User. Are there plans in the future to be able to add custom tokens from the opportunity field for example?

If I link the oppty to the CTA or figure out how to write these fields onto the CTA, could that allow me to pull these fields into the template?

This would be extremely important for our users around renewal time.  Currently, we have a CTA fire at x days prior to an opportunity's renewal date.  I'd like to create an Email Assist template to associate with that CTA that would allow CSMs and Renewals Sales Directors to quickly and easily notify the client that their renewal is coming up.  Pulling the renewal date and notice of termination date (opportunity object fields) in as tokens is essential.

We have a similar need. We are accomplishing this today (specifically the renewal date data) by incorporating that line item into CustomerInfo so that Email Assist can utilize it.

However, I would say it'd be easier if I didn't have to add line items to CustomerInfo every time I find a new token need that isn't accessible by Email Assist. Can it not just work like CoPilot?

Nice workaround!  Sadly, this option isn't even available to us as it's not uncommon at our org for a single account to have multiple contracts renewing at different dates over the course of the year.  We are enabling linked objects so we can at least make the renewal oppty fields easily accessible while we wait for oppty token functionality.

Is there any update on the opportunity object being added as an available object to pull fields from for token mapping? This would be extremely helpful for us to leverage Gainsight better.

Thanks for the update Hitesh! 

We have a similar use case that would benefit from having additional objects to map tokens from. We currently have a CTA and an associated playbook with an email template for our CSMs to send if a support ticket takes longer than anticipated to close. 

We house ticket information in our Gainsight instance in an MDA object. It would be great if we could use dynamic tokens in Email Assist to reference the ticket ID, subject or name, date submitted, etc.

And yes adding token from MDA objects is there in our plan.

Expanding on to the renewals use case and the ability to add tokens from the opportunity record. Our renewals managers use email assist templates for manual outreach when automated emails bounce or if the account is not subject to auto-renewal terms. We have multiple fields we need to pull from the opportunity record including subscription start/end date, renewal amount, VAT#, PO # and buying/billing contact information that is specific to the opportunity. Today all of that information needs to be manually entered by the renewals manager if they use email assist which decreases efficiency and adoption of the feature.

This would be great. Any update on this one? Currently, we have to link the CTA to the Opportunity and copy/paste over what we need from the fields there, or copy/paste from the comments section. Having this be able to be automatically mapped would the preferred workflow.

Seems a shame that I can do so many exciting things with data when creating a Bionic rule to generate a CTA with Email Assist, but I can't use any of that processed data in the email itself. I guess I could have the rule load that info into a custom field on the CTA?
