Hi - an idea that was shared with my by one of my customers was related to creating CTAs automatically through Outlook/Google calendar integration. The use case is as follows:
  • CSM creates a calendar meeting request to their customer to schedule a meeting. While in the calendaring app, they have an option to click a button that will sync that meeting to a CTA in Gainsight.
  • The CTA will be created using relevant content from the meeting request (some details will have to be worked out as to how the correct customer is selected and how other mandatory fields are populated)
  • CTA is now ready to be actioned upon once the meeting is held and the notes are added to the CTA or chatter feed for that customer. 
This would allow for reduction of an extra manual step and will especially assist in cases where customers do not have standing recurring meetings, but instead meet in an ad-hoc basis.

    This would be nice, as I have many upcoming client appointments in Outlook , and existing appointments that could be added to GS.

    I agree, this would be handy to set up and link from the calendar directly

    Has work on this been started or a potential ETA?

    Hello All,
    Tentative ETA for calendar integration is Q1 2022.

    Does this apply to Outlook too? @chethana. Asking because I know Gmail plug-in came first, then Outlook later.

    I’m following this as well because our team would love to be able to log to timeline or make CTAs from google calendar events. They were able to do this in SFDC and so it feels like a bit of a loss since we transitioned them. We use NXT.
