Hi Scott, welcome back! 

  1. Why aren't colors showing for MLB RBI Onboarding Status on the cockpit or CTA?
  2. I want to remove a CTA Type from a Reason but it won't let me because the CTA Reason is used in a rule?!
  3. Rule - Upsert Online Site Relationships
    1. I have duplicate rules, one active rule and one inactive. The inactive one has additional Actions, trying to figure out why

Scott, have a question to run by you regarding our People management → Match Criteria settings.

Use case: our SF has duplicate Contact records with unique SF Contact Id values but identical Full Name and Email values. They live within the same SF Account.  Both are valid, active contacts that can’t be deleted or merged.

GS treats these as duplicates based on how we currently define our matches (Name, Email).  As a result, we have only 1 of the 2 SF Contacts as Company Person Records in GS MDA, not both.

What is happening is during the GS-SF Company Person sync job, GS sees both SF Contacts and just picks one to use when mapping.  The result is the Company Person → External Company Id value is changing repeatedly.

I’d like to discuss the pros/cons of adding an additional Match Criteria for the External Contact Id value to address this.

Hi Scott - 

Welcome back!  

I have a couple of pretty general items I’m trying to understand:

  1. Are we able to send surveys outside of a scheduled program?  We just ran into this need with NPS.
  2. Data Management/Data Designer and Custom objects.  We’re expanding our use of Programs daily and while we may start with a customer list, I need to be able to trigger additional outreaches off of a project close stage.  I tried to clone an old one last week and edit from there, but it was not successful.  Any advice is appreciated.
