Hello -

 

I’m trying to setup a rule automatically changes a healthscore metric from green to yellow if it has not been updated in the last 60 days. I am having trouble figuring out which “modified date” field to use to trigger this update correctly. I’m using the account scorecard history object to set this up.

 

Any support or guidance would be appreciated.

 

Thanks!

Mike


We want to know how to deal with failed Survey responses when migrating to Survey 2.0


Want to continue our conversation from last week and understand how we can snapshot off of Gainsight tables. In other words, create an audit log to capture when field values change in custom objects in Gainsight

 

Thanks!


Hello - I’m working to pull CTA data and evaluate its correlation to revenue/customer retention.  We are running into a limitation with SFDC capping reporting on activities to only the past year.  Do you have the ability to help us pull this data farther back?  Any other workarounds to get at this data in aggregate (including an 18 digit account ID)?


Hello @sdrostgainsightcom , hoping to have a quick confirmation on the call today that my set up for my PS Survey Engagement is set up correctly, I am concerned about sending out mass emails which I do not want to do so just want to make sure it is set up correctly and if I need to add any filters to my contacts, other than what is existing...thanks


Hi,

  1. I wanted to know how I can pull fields from a custom object into the UI view without adding the fields on to the account object. If the other option is to add it to the customer object, I am okay with that, but I wanted to know if there was another option?
  2. Can CTA write onto timeline? I want to know when CTAs are created and have the system log that entry into the timeline.

 


Hello all - thank you for joining today - the link to the recording of the session is below.
Sorry that we couldn’t quite squeeze in everyone’s questions but we did cover a lot of ground, including:

  • How the Unified Scorecard Facts structure works - it isn’t particularly easy to be able to pull the current score for a selected measure from the currently-assigned scorecard for each customer, but it’s a use case that comes up regularly - worth it to take a 2nd look on the recording.
  • Dealing with failed survey participants when migrating from Survey 1.0 to 2.0 - how to report on the Survey 1.0 object in SFDC to find the bad Account ID and create a Company to match it so those orphan participants migrate over on follow-up attempts.
  • Setting up a custom object to track when a field on another MDA object changes (just a once-a-day tracker - not a time-stamped record if it changes 5 times in the same day, but a way to track history of, say, ARR, etc.) - this is one option vs just taking a snapshot every day or week whether data has changed or not. (I know you wanted to have that @Kate )

Here’s the link to the recording: https://app.gong.io/e/c-share/?tkn=c4el1ld6x1d2o17ijgelorzf

See you next time!

Wanted to reply to @AgassiTran as well since we couldn’t get to your questions during the session - 

Q: How I can pull fields from a custom object into the UI view without adding the fields on to the account object. If the other option is to add it to the customer object, I am okay with that, but I wanted to know if there was another option?

  • I assume you want to add a field to the Customer360 on either Summary or Attributes sections from your custom object - yes, the easiest, most flexible option by far is adding a field to Customer Info and populating it with Rules Engine - then it can be used anywhere in the Summary or Attributes section.
  • The only other option is limited:  you can create a “widget” report for that field, and then make it 1 of the 6 large tiles on your summary.  So, if it’s important enough to give it that top billing, the widget option is great because you are always getting the real-time value (and especially useful for “total logins last 7 days” or detail-type widget reports).  Otherwise, the only option is to create the Salesforce field on Customer Info.
  • Link to the Widget report doc here :Configure Customer Widget for C360 Summary

Q:  Can CTA write onto timeline? I want to know when CTAs are created and have the system log that entry into the timeline.

  • There isn’t any way to set up an auto-create Timeline activity based on when a CTA is created - and this is in part by design.  Timeline is very popular with Gainsight end users - often because it has far less clutter than, for instance, SFDC Activities/Tasks object. In this case in particular, since there isn’t any method to globally delete timeline activities, you can picture having a rule run go bad and create CTAs for every customer - easy enough to delete the CTAs, but you’re stuck with the timeline.
  • My recommendation if you want a CTA creation history stored somewhere besides the SFDC Call to Action itself is to create a custom table in MDA - you can capture only the info you need about the CTA (name, type, creation date, etc.), and then you can link it to Timeline reporting.

Hope that helps, and have a good weekend!

Scott
