This article helps Admins configure CC-to-Skilljar field mappings as part of the Skilljar and Gainsight CC integration.

Overview

 

The Skilljar Field Mapping lets Admins control which community profile fields are sent to Skilljar.

When the Skilljar and CC unified login integration is enabled, CC becomes the identity provider for Skilljar. All user data must pass through CC before it reaches Skilljar.

This means any profile attribute you want Skilljar to receive, such as a user's role, region, or product subscription, must first exist in CC and then be mapped from CC to Skilljar using this feature.

Prerequisites

 

Before you configure Skilljar field mappings, make sure the Skilljar and Gainsight CC integration is enabled for your community.

For more information on integrating, refer to the Skilljar + Gainsight CC Integration article.

Map Skilljar Fields

 

To send community profile data to Skilljar, you add field mappings in the Skilljar Field Mapping configuration page.

Each mapping defines which CC field to send and which Skilljar field it should populate.

Note: Skilljar fields are populated automatically. When you set up a mapping, the dropdown pulls available fields from your Skilljar instance in real time.

To map CC fields to Skilljar:

  1. Log in to Control.
  2. Navigate to Integrations > Field Mapping. The Skilljar Field Mapping page appears.

​​​​​​​ 

The Skilljar Field Mapping has the following two sections:

  • Profile Field Mapping: Helps to map user profile fields in CC to Skilljar.
  • Role Mapping: Helps to map use roles in CC to Skilljar.

To map Profile Field:

  1. From the Community Profile Field dropdown, select the user profiles in CC.
  2. From the Skilljar Field Name dropdown, select the appropriate Skilljar field.
  3. Click Save.

To map Role Field:

  1. From the Community Role dropdown, select the user role in CC.
  2. From the Skilljar Role Name dropdown, select the appropriate Skilljar field.
  3. Click Save.

@mdfahd Once the mapping is configured, how can the mapped data be leveraged in Skilljar? Where can I see it? How can I use it?

Hi ​@Jean Walters 
Thank you for reaching out. Tagging PM ​@marekkoszlak for more inputs on this.

Hi ​@Jean Walters 

Thanks for reaching out! Once you map the data from CC to Skilljar, it'll be available in the corresponding Skilljar signup fields for that user. The mechanism works the same way it would if you mapped fields directly from SSO (or collected upon end-user’s signup) in a standalone Skilljar setup.

From there you can use those fields for personalization, for example automatically grouping learners based on their responses. Skilljar has a good write-up on that use case here: https://support.skilljar.com/hc/en-us/articles/38190339405965-Automatically-add-learners-to-a-group-with-Sign-up-Fields

Hope that helps! Let me know if any additional details are needed.

Thanks ​@marekkoszlak.

I was hoping the mapped fields would enrich our student and course engagement data for analysis directly through Skilljar. Instead, it looks like we’re going to have to push everything from Skilljar to Gainsight Success if we want to look at it alongside account and contact data.


Hi Jean — just to add to what Marek shared, I want to address the analysis question specifically.The mapped fields behave exactly like any other signup field in Skilljar, which means they're fully available in Enrollment Analytics. Admins can add them as columns in the report view, search and filter enrollments by their values, and include them in CSV exports. So if you want to analyse how learners with specific CC profile attributes are engaging with content, that's doable directly in SJ.The same applies to data you bring in from CS: once it's mapped from CS into CC and then to SJ profile fields, it's usable in Skilljar's own reporting just like any other field — so you don't necessarily have to push anything back into CS to analyse it. Today this works for contact-level (Person) attributes; account-level (Company) attributes aren't available through the standard setup yet, but it's something we can explore extending. If you'd like to learn more or share feedback on that, I'm happy to introduce you to the PM who owns this area.

@mdfahd or ​@marekkoszlak for the mapping to be available does the API Key in the installation need to NOT be Read Only I imagine?

 

I set up the integration with read only, so how do i now change it to a full access API?
