Skilljar by Gainsight:  Automated SCIM Provisioning, Self-Service SSO, and Localization Enhancements

Skilljar by Gainsight: Automated SCIM Provisioning, Self-Service SSO, and Localization Enhancements

This release makes life easier on both sides of Skilljar: less manual work for admins, and a more seamless experience for learners across languages and devices. Here's what's new.  👥 Automated SCIM Provisioning for AdminsAutomated SCIM provisioning allows you to manage Dashboard user accounts directly from your identity provider, whether that's Okta, Microsoft Entra ID, OneLogin, or any other SCIM 2.0 compliant providers. This means your IT team can manage Skilljar admin accounts the same way they manage every other tool in your stack.With SCIM enabled, your identity provider becomes the single source of truth for Dashboard access. This means:User accounts are automatically managed. A user account is created when someone is added to a Skilljar-mapped group, deactivated when they're removed, and reactivated (not duplicated) if they return. So when your IT team adds a new CE manager to a Skilljar-Admins group as part of standard onboarding, their Dashboard account is ready before day one. And when a contractor wraps up, their access is revoked the moment they're deprovisioned in your identity provider. Role assignments stay in sync. Skilljar reads your identity provider's group memberships and maps them to the corresponding Dashboard roles, so permissions update automatically as team members change groups. If a content author is promoted to domain admin in your IdP, the updated group membership flows straight through to Skilljar.This eliminates manual account management, reduces the risk of duplicate accounts, and keeps your Dashboard access aligned with your broader identity policies. Getting started: To connect your identity provider to Skilljar, Global Administrators can generate a SCIM token from Settings > SCIM Provisioning. The rest of the connection is configured in your identity provider. Check out the Help Article for more details.Release NotesNote: This is only available to Professional and Enterprise customers who have SSO for admins. SCIM manages Dashboard users only. Learner provisioning continues to work through SSO, API, or self-registration. 🔒 Self-Service SSONo more support tickets to set up SSO. Admins can now create, manage, and test SSO configurations directly from the Skilljar Dashboard.The new SSO Configuration page supports Token Based, SAML, OAuth, OIDC, and Community configuration types. You can create multiple configurations and manage them all in one place, with the ability to activate whichever one is current. The best part? A built-in test function lets you validate any configuration before going live, so you can launch a new sign-in method with confidence.Getting Started: Org Admins can access SSO Configuration from Domains & Publishing > Domain Settings. The Help Article has more details on configuration.Release NotesNote:Multi-domain SSO (mSSO) still requires ProServices engagement to enable. Multiple configurations can be created, but only one can be active at a time. SSO Configuration in the Skilljar dashboard, Domains & Publishing > Domain Settings 🌍 Saved Localization PreferencesLearners no longer have to reselect their language every time they clear cookies, switch devices, or log in from somewhere new. Skilljar now saves language preferences directly to the learner's profile, so their selection persists automatically across every future visit.New language selector location. Learners can still choose their language from the footer selector, and can now also switch languages from the profile dropdown, shown below. Persistent across devices and browsers. The preference is stored in the database, not in cookies, so it follows the learner whether they're on their laptop at work, or their phone at home. Consistent across domains. For organizations with multiple training sites, one stored preference carries the learner's language everywhere without re-detection.Release NotesNote:This is enabled automatically for every organization with language packs configured. Applies to authenticated learners only. Anonymous learners continue to use browser-cookie persistence as before. Admins cannot currently view or edit a learner's stored preference from the Dashboard. Admin visibility and editing are planned as follow-on enhancements.Learners can now select their preferred language from the Profile menu ➕ Other Dashboard Enhancement:Course Ratings Available as Modular Lessons: Previously, Course Ratings only applied at the course level as a standalone lesson, but they can now be applied to individual lessons modularly. This allows learners to provide more granular feedback on your content. Release Notes.

Skilljar + Gainsight Customer Communities Integration: One Destination for Learning and Connecting

Skilljar + Gainsight Customer Communities Integration: One Destination for Learning and Connecting

Your learners shouldn't have to remember which tab has their courses and which one has the community. They shouldn't have to log in twice, search in two places, or lose their place every time they switch. That friction is real and it quietly chips away at engagement every day.That's why we built the Skilljar + Gainsight Customer Communities Integration, apart of Gainsight’s Digital Customer Hub. Shared customers can now connect both platforms into a single, seamless learning experience. 🔒 Unified Login & ProfileLearners sign in once through their Gainsight CC SSO and get instant access to both Community and Academy. Think about your new customer onboarding flow. Right now, a new user lands in your Community to meet other customers and get oriented, then they hit a wall the moment they try to access training. A separate login, a new password, another account to manage. That's friction at the exact moment you need momentum most. By being logged into both platforms, and with shared navigation enabled, users also have a Unified Profile. The Community profile replaces the native Skilljar profile, so users see one consistent identity as they move between Academy and Community. Skilljar-specific details like course progress and certifications are still accessible through "My Learning" in the profile menu.🧭 Unified NavigationCommunity branding and navigation can now be embedded directly inside Skilljar Builder Pages. Learners move between training and community content without ever feeling like they've left.Here's a scenario your learners live every day: they're halfway through a course, hit a question, and want to see if someone in the community has already answered it. Today, that means opening a new tab, logging in again, and trying to pick up where they left off in your Academy. 🔎 Federated SearchOne search bar = results from both Skilljar and Community. Learners find the course, article, or discussion they're looking for, wherever it lives.When a customer searches "how do I…," the answer might be in a Skilljar course, a Community discussion thread, or both. Right now they have to check each place separately and if they don't find it on the first try, most give up and open a ticket.Federated Search surfaces everything in one result set. Customers self-serve faster, your support team handles fewer repeat questions, and the training content you've invested in actually gets discovered. 📚 Education Widgets in CommunityYou can now embed Skilljar content directly on your Community pages, complete with progress bars, thumbnails, and customizable layouts.Your Community is already where customers go to stay current on your product. When you post a new feature announcement, that's prime real estate to say "here's the course that shows you how to use it." Without this integration, that connection never happens, instead it goes something like: the update goes out, customers read it, and the training stays locked in your Academy.Education Widgets let you embed the right course next to the right conversation. Your community homepage can greet new members with a "Start here" learning path. Admins configure everything directly from the Community widget library, no code required. What’s NextThis is the first step toward a fully connected learning and community experience. We're already working on what comes next: deeper personalization, richer profile data across platforms, and more ways to reward engagement across both spaces.For now, connect your Skilljar and Gainsight CC instances and see what it feels like when your Academy and Community work as one. Get StartedTo get started, our Help Article walks you through setting up a short enablement session with our team. Once the initial connection is in place, admins configure everything else on their own.👉 Help Article👉 Release Notes

Gainsight CS Q1 Release: Customer Context, Where and When You Need It

Gainsight CS Q1 Release: Customer Context, Where and When You Need It

Most CS teams already have the data they need, but it rarely lives in one place or shows up when it matters. Instead, it’s spread across emails, meetings, and notes—and pulling it together takes more time than it should.That’s why our Q1 release is focused on making that easier. Moving forward, more of that context shows up automatically, easier to access in the moment, and it’s even easier to turn into action.Here’s what’s new: Gainsight MCP: Bring Customer Context Into AI WorkflowsYour team is likely already using LLMs to brainstorm, summarize, and write faster, and increasingly to prepare for calls, triage their books, and draft Success Plans. But until now, Gainsight data sat outside of that flow, meaning outputs lacked critical customer context, and getting it required copying data, switching tabs, and losing momentum.With Gainsight MCP, external LLMs like ChatGPT and Claude can now connect directly to your Gainsight instance. Teams can pull account context, review Timeline activity, check health scores, and take action, like updating CTAs or Success Plans, without ever leaving their AI workflow.Not sure where to start? Use our ready-to-use prompts for common workflows like weekly portfolio reviews, renewal prep, and QBR briefings. To learn more, refer to the Gainsight CS MCP Server Integration article.Connect Gainsight CS MCP to your LLM, explore real account data, and take action like creating CTAs and Success Plans through our free guided course. Take the course today!  Timeline: Capture the Full Customer Conversation, AutomaticallyThis release brings several updates that make Timeline meaningfully more complete without adding work for your team.Auto Email Capture: Automatically log emails to Timeline the moment they're sent or received, including participants, timestamps, and full conversation threads, so there's no need for plugins, checkboxes, or manual entry. Related messages are even grouped together.* To and From Fields: Admins also get new To and From fields for email activities, giving teams clearer visibility into who communicated with whom, which is especially useful for multi-threaded relationships. The result: A more complete customer record without anyone having to build it manually.*Need-to-know details on Auto Email Capture: Auto Email Capture is powered by Staircase technology. If you're using just CS, no additional purchase is required. You cannot connect only emails. To enable Auto Email Capture, you must select the Email + Meetings connection option. If you enable Auto Email Capture for a user group, don't also use Gainsight Assist, BCC email tags, or external Timeline APIs for those same users, as combining methods can create duplicate or overwritten Timeline activities. Upon enabling Auto Email Capture, a historical sync of 30 days will be triggered. For more information, refer to the Admin Guide, User Guide, or FAQs.  Timeline: Relationship Person SupportYou can now search and select Relationship Persons as external attendees in Timeline activities, helping you identify the right participants more accurately and view relevant context directly within the search experience.Support for Relationship Persons in Search:
External attendee search now includes both Company Person and Relationship Person records in Timeline activity, with search results grouped into three sections based on the attendee type: Company Person, Relationship Person, or User Context Based Display Order:
Section order is based on the activity’s primary context. If Company is the primary context, Company Person results appear first followed by the  Relationship Person results. Conditional Section Display: Sections are displayed only when relevant search results are found. For example, the Relationship Person section appears only if matching results are available. Attendee Context on Hover: Hovering over attendee details now indicates whether the participant is a Company Person or a Relationship Person.For more information on relationship person search, refer to the Log Activities to Timeline article. Journey Orchestrator: More Ways to Edit Live ProgramsYou launch a JO program, it's running smoothly, and then someone asks for a change. Until now, that usually meant cloning the entire program just to tweak one step, for example. With the refreshed Program Editor, you can now add a new step exactly where you need it, update existing steps like delay timing or Evaluate logic, and skip steps instead of deleting them.This release also introduces multiple participant syncs per day, allowing you to schedule syncs at defined intervals so time-sensitive programs like onboarding and risk response reflect the latest data instead of waiting for the next daily run.For more information, refer to the Edit an Advanced Program article. Copilot: Surface All Customers Insights into CopilotCopilot now pulls together Timeline activity and Staircase insights into a single response, so if you're trying to understand what's happening in an account, you can ask one question and see both what's been logged in Gainsight and what Staircase has picked up from emails, meetings, and support interactions.We’ve also added the ability to download report data as Excel files directly from Copilot, so when you get a tabular answer you can export it immediately for offline analysis or sharing. Pro Tip: Copilot is only as good as the data behind it. If you haven't reviewed your Key Definitions recently, go to Administration > Copilot > Key Definitions and make sure they reflect your organization's actual terminology, especially for concepts like ARR, customer segments, or risk. For more information, refer to the Copilot Overview article. Spaces: Keep Customer Goals Visible and CollaborativeCustomer Goals can now be shared in Spaces, bringing goal tracking into the same place where teams and customers already collaborate. Everyone can see progress, update values, and discuss next steps without switching tools, while admins stay in control of which goals are shared and what external participants can access. AI Cheat Sheet: Show Only What Your Team NeedsAdmins can now customize AI Cheat Sheet in C360 and R360 by renaming sections, reordering them, or turning them off entirely, so teams see the specific signals they care about instead of scanning through everything on the page.Pro Tip: Ask your CSMs which Cheat Sheet sections they actually use before configuring; you might find that two or three sections drive 90% of the value, and turning off the rest makes the widget significantly more useful at a glance.For more information on how to customize the widget, refer to the AI Cheat Sheet Overview article.  Want to learn more?

Gainsight CC: Build Custom Community Extensions with Developer Studio

Gainsight CC: Build Custom Community Extensions with Developer Studio

Gone are the days of writing code inside a browser editor with no version control, no reusability, and no AI tooling support to create custom widgets. Developer Studio lets your engineering team build, version, and deploy custom widgets using GitHub and the tools they already work in, including AI coding tools, so you can vibe code any widget you can imagine into existence.Here's What's NewShip changes in seconds: Push code to GitHub and see updates live in your community immediately, no manual publishing steps required.Build with familiar web technologies: Create custom widgets using HTML, CSS, JavaScript, or React, backed by a versioned SDK for accessing community data and services.Connect to external services securely: Call external APIs through a server-side proxy that keeps credentials off the client and out of your repository. Manage connector definitions directly in GitHub alongside your widget code, so external data dependencies are fully version-controlled.Deploy from staging to production with Git branches: Connect different community instances to different Git branches. Test on staging, then promote to production through a standard Git merge.Build widgets with AI coding tools: The widget repository template includes an agents.md file that enables AI coding tools like Cursor and Claude Code to generate correct, deployable widgets automatically. Describe what you want, and let AI build it.Reuse widgets across pages: Publish a widget once and community managers can place it on any page through the WYSIWYG layout editor, no code copying required.Track every change with full audit-ability: The complete history of every widget change lives in Git: who changed what, when, and why.What This Means If You're Not an EngineerYou don't need to understand GitHub to benefit from Developer Studio. Once your engineering team builds and publishes a widget, it shows up directly in the community editor; ready to drag, drop, and configure like any other component. That means faster turnaround on custom requests, less back-and-forth with your dev team, and a community experience that can look and behave exactly the way your members need it to, without you ever touching code. Getting StartedDeveloper Studio is available within Gainsight CC. To get started: Connect your GitHub repository in CC Control Use the widget repository template to scaffold your first widget Push to GitHub and your widget publishes automatically and becomes available in the WYSIWYG editor For full documentation including quickstart guides, SDK reference, and connector setup, refer to the Gainsight Developer Portal. For API details, refer to the Gainsight CC API Reference.👉 Check out the Release Notes for more details.💬 Have a question for our team? Drop a comment below!

Skilljar by Gainsight:  Enhanced Stripe Integration with More Flexible, Stripe-Powered Payments

Skilljar by Gainsight: Enhanced Stripe Integration with More Flexible, Stripe-Powered Payments

Skilljar offers a native Stripe integration, giving you the flexibility to monetize your courses through Stripe-powered payments. Our enhanced integration replaces the previous eCommerce experience with Stripe Checkout Sessions—Stripe's recommended workflow for collecting payments. This upgrade introduces improvements to help you sell globally, handle taxes automatically, and manage your commerce operations with more flexibility.  💲What's New: More Secure, Stripe-Hosted CheckoutYour learners' payment information is now handled entirely by Stripe through a more secure, hosted checkout page. Card validation, error handling, 3D Secure authentication, and PCI compliance are all managed by Stripe. The final payment step now redirects to a Stripe-hosted checkout page, a polished, familiar payment experience that supports more payment methods and shows tax upfront.  Automated Tax Calculation and CollectionIf you sell to learners across different states or countries, tax compliance is now significantly easier. The enhanced integration supports Stripe Tax, which automatically calculates and collects the correct sales tax, VAT, or GST based on your buyer's location.  Localized Currency SupportWith the enhanced integration, your learners can view prices and pay in their local currency, and Stripe handles the conversion automatically. If you're selling to a global audience, this removes one of the biggest points of friction in the buying experience. Coupons and Promotion Codes via StripeYou now manage discounts directly in the Stripe Product Catalog. Create coupons (percentage off or fixed amount), generate customer-facing promotion codes, restrict codes to specific learners or products, set expiration dates, and control redemption limits, all from your Stripe Dashboard. This gives you far more flexibility and control for discounting than the legacy integration.  Domain-Level MonetizationYou're no longer limited to configuring eCommerce at the organization level. The enhanced integration enables domain-level monetization, giving you more granular control over how and where you sell across your training properties. If you operate multiple domains, you can tailor your commerce setup to each one. Expanded Reporting and AnalyticsStripe's built-in reporting and analytics tools are now available to complement your Skilljar Order Report. This means richer visibility into transaction-level detail, payment trends, and revenue insights, accessible directly from your Stripe Dashboard alongside the reporting you already use in Skilljar. Automatic Inventory SyncWhen you publish monetized content on a domain with Stripe Checkout Sessions enabled, Skilljar automatically creates a corresponding product in your Stripe Product Catalog with its metadata. Setup ProcessGetting started takes a few configuration steps in your domain-level Feature Settings. Once you're up and running, you can manage advanced capabilities like coupons and tax rules directly in your Stripe Dashboard. Our Help Article walks you through the upgrade workflow and links to the Stripe documentation you'll need along the way.  Important Notes:Recurring subscriptions and saved payment methods are on the roadmap. The foundation is in place with Checkout Sessions, and subscription support will be coming in a future update. Promo codes will need to be recreated in the Stripe Dashboard as coupons. However, bulk promo codes will continue to work on the enhanced integration with no changes needed. Refunds are managed in Stripe. For transactions processed through the enhanced integration, refunds must be issued directly from your Stripe Dashboard.  If you syndicate monetized training to another LMS, the purchase flow cannot be initiated from that external platform. The enhanced integration is designed for purchases made directly on Skilljar-hosted Academies. Commerce for syndicated content must be handled by the external LMS (e.g., through its own Stripe integration or payment system), with enrollment passed to Skilljar via API after purchase.  Upgrading from the Legacy IntegrationIf you're currently using the legacy Stripe integration, here's what you need to know:No disruption to your current setup. Your existing integration will continue to work, however we strongly recommend upgrading to get the most out of connecting Skilljar + Stripe.  For help with Skilljar setup, our Help Article has everything you need. For help with Stripe setup, including taxes, coupons, and payment methods configuration, review help documentation directly at https://docs.stripe.com/.

Skilljar by Gainsight: More Efficient Visibility Settings & ILT Event Creation

Skilljar by Gainsight: More Efficient Visibility Settings & ILT Event Creation

This update introduces bulk actions for both visibility settings and ILT event creation, cutting down on manual work for admins managing large audiences and busy training calendars.  🗂️ Filter Visibility by Group CategoryManaging content visibility across dozens of groups just got an upgrade.You can now use Group Category as a filter when setting Group Visibility for Courses, Paths, Plans, and Pages. Instead of manually selecting each group one by one, simply filter by category and apply visibility settings to all groups in that category at once.This is especially useful if you manage large numbers of groups organized by segment, region, or account type. This also reduces the manual effort when rolling out content to these large, segmented audiences. How it Works:Filter by Group Category when configuring visibility on Courses, Paths, Plans, and Pages. This dropdown filter is available directly within your existing visibility settings Apply visibility settings to all groups within a category in bulk Looking to learn more about visibility settings? Visit our Help CenterOverride default visibility setting to include group category visibility 👉 Learn More  📅 Bulk Create ILT Events via CSV UploadAnother time saver for Skilljar admins, you can now bulk create ILT events by uploading a CSV file directly from your dashboard without API, developer support, or manual entry required. Simply prepare your event data in a spreadsheet and upload it all at once.This is valuable for organizations who plan events in bulk cycles (think: hundreds of events scheduled twice a year). Previously, this meant tedious one-by-one creation in the dashboard or a technical implementation, neither ideal for teams without dedicated developer resources. How it Works:Import events by uploading a CSV to create multiple ILT/VILT events in one action. This setting is available in your Live Training page in the Skilljar dashboard Drag your CSV file into the Skilljar dashboard to import events, use our CSV template to ensure successful upload.

Skilljar by Gainsight: Strengthen Signup Security with Learner Email Verification

Skilljar by Gainsight: Strengthen Signup Security with Learner Email Verification

Skilljar now supports Email Verification at signup, a new organization-level security setting that requires learners to confirm email ownership before accessing training when registering.When enabled, learners who signup with email/password authentication must complete registration through a secure email link before gaining access to your training domain. Adding this additional layer of verification helps you:Strengthen security for open registration domains Reduce spam and bot signups Ensure learners register with valid, owned email addressesEmail verification also supports compliance and consent best practices, including widely adopted “Double Opt-In” standards in the EU. While not universally required under GDPR, confirming email ownership helps organizations demonstrate stronger consent controls and reduce fraudulent or unauthorized access. Security Without Added Friction Our goal was to make this as easy as possible for learners, guiding them through an experience built on Skilljar’s existing invite workflow. After entering their email on your sign-up page, they’ll receive a secure, single-use link in their inbox. Until verification is complete, they do not have access to training.When they click the link, they’re taken to the familiar completion form to set and confirm their password. Once finished, they’ll be automatically logged in and redirected to the course catalog or specified destination. Completion email sent to learner’s inbox to complete verification Additional DetailsThis setting is controlled at the Organization level and applies to all domains within your organization. It applies to email/password (local) authentication only. SSO users and admin-invited learners are not affected. If a learner mistypes their email or lets the link expire, they can return to the signup page and re-enter their email to receive a new link. The link is valid for 7 days. Existing learners can continue logging in as usual, verification is required only for new self-signups after the setting is enabled.Check out the Release Notes for additional setup details.

Staircase Q4 Release: Customer Intelligence in Your AI Tools with MCP, Better Signal Control, and More

Staircase Q4 Release: Customer Intelligence in Your AI Tools with MCP, Better Signal Control, and More

Customer intelligence only creates value when it leads to action. But that’s hard when insights live in disconnected tools, signals are noisy, or teams lack confidence in what the data is telling them.The Q4 Staircase release focuses on solving those challenges — bringing customer intelligence closer to where teams work, improving signal quality and governance, and laying the groundwork for more proactive risk management.Let’s dive in. Bring Staircase Intelligence Into Your AI Workflows with Ask Staircase + MCP Connector With Ask Staircase + MCP Connector, teams can now bring Staircase customer intelligence directly into AI tools like ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini.This update enables teams to:Ask natural-language questions and get answers enriched with live Staircase data Access customer intelligence without switching tools or pulling reports Work directly inside existing AI workflowsAdmins can get started by following the one-time MCP setup guide to securely connect Staircase to ChatGPT, Claude, or Gemini.  Improve Trust and Accuracy with AI Feedback Loops As teams increasingly rely on AI-generated insights, confidence in outputs becomes critical.With AI Feedback Loops, teams can now:    •    Rate whether Staircase-generated summaries and responses are helpful    •    Provide feedback that is aggregated and fed back into our models    •    Improve accuracy continuously over time based on real usageAll feedback is anonymous and secure. Explore how AI feedback works in Staircase More Flexible, Admin-Friendly PII Configuration This release includes enhancements to PII anonymization, giving admins more control without disrupting existing workflows.Admins can now:Choose exactly which types of PII are anonymized using simple toggles Preview changes before applying them Apply updates only to new communications, leaving historical data untouchedFor customers with advanced requirements, custom patterns are supported in a controlled way, while the default experience remains safe and predictable.Learn how to manage PII anonymization settingsCustomize Lifecycle Events to Match Your Customer Journey Staircase automatically detects key customer moments like renewals, churn risk, extreme sentiment, and executive touchpoints.

Gainsight CS Q4 Release: JO Program Testing, Extended Group Send Access, and Copilot Usage Reports

Gainsight CS Q4 Release: JO Program Testing, Extended Group Send Access, and Copilot Usage Reports

Execution in customer success can be complex. Digital orchestration programs need to run as expected. Communication needs to scale without losing control. And insights need to translate into action before momentum is lost.The Q4 (January) release for Gainsight CS helps you simplify that execution by giving you the tools to test and refine Journey Orchestrator (JO) programs before launch, extend Group Send access (with guardrails), and act on Copilot insights without ever leaving your workflow.Let’s dive in. Launch Journey Orchestrator Programs with More ConfidenceBuilding JO programs can mean juggling branches, conditions, and personalization. But until now, validating all that logic pre-launch meant cloning the program or hoping it all worked after launch. That introduced internal risk, but also opened the door to subpar customer experiences if the journey didn’t go as planned.Now, you can test draft Journey Orchestrator programs with up to 30 participants using real data. Preview branching conditions, verify tokens, and confirm email versions before going live. For complex journeys, this removes the guesswork and cuts down on post-launch rework.Community Callout: A big thank you to our community, especially Product Council members past and present, including ​@sarahmiracle and ​@dayn.johnson, whose ideas, conversations (like here and here) directly shaped this feature enhancement.  Extended Group Send Access Without Sacrificing ControlGroup Send, which allows users to send personalized emails—newsletters, invites, product updates—to hundreds of customers in just a few clicks, was previously only available to CSMs.  That’s changing with this release. Admins can now extend Group Send access to any user persona or user group using a flexible, rule-based permissions framework. Control access by role (e.g., Account Manager) or criteria (e.g., companies under $100K ARR), and define exactly who can send to which accounts. Said another way, you can now scale communication across more teams without compromising control.Community Callout: This enhancement was shaped in close partnership with our 2025 Product Council. Their hands-on feedback from our dedicated session last year directly influenced the improvements you see in Group Send today, which make it more flexible and impactful at scale.  Send Copilot Responses From C360 and Track Usage Across Your OrgYou can now send Copilot responses directly from C360 into an email. Content is prefilled, editable, and automatically logged to Timeline, which shortens the gap between insight and follow-up, so teams can respond while context is fresh.Additionally, the new Copilot Usage Report shows who’s engaging with the AI (including Slack workflows), how often, and where adoption might need a boost. It’s a simple way to track usage, spot gaps, and focus enablement where it matters most. Better Visibility with Multi-Select Field ReportingYou can now group reports by individual values within multi-select picklists, giving you a clearer view of how each value appears across your dataset—even when multiple options are selected in a single record.This update makes it easier to analyze trends, segment data accurately, and build more meaningful dashboards without additional configuration. Community Callout: Real customer feedback made this possible. Thank you for continuing to shape the future of Gainsight. Note: Multi-select field enhancements will be available beginning on Tuesday, February 3, 2026. New Salesforce UI Managed Package and Connector Security EnhancementsYour Customer Success workflows don’t stop at Gainsight. They rely on seamless and secure integrations with tools like Salesforce. This release includes a new Salesforce UI Managed Package that gives you more flexibility in how you can bring Gainsight into your Salesforce experience.Additional Resource: Learn more about the new UI Managed Package We’ve also rolled out several key security enhancements to further protect your data across systems. That includes: Shorter Refresh Token Lifespans: Refresh tokens now expire faster to limit the risk window if a token is ever compromised.  Refresh Token Rotation (RTR): Each refresh token is now single-use, so every time one’s exchanged, it’s replaced immediately. OAuth Proof Key for Code Exchange (PKCE): PKCE strengthens the OAuth flow by ensuring that only the app that starts authentication can complete it. Trusted IP Ranges: Token exchanges now only work when requests come from trusted infrastructure.Additional Resource: What Can I Do Today? A CEO’s Guide to Salesforce Integration Security by Gainsight CEO Chuck Ganapathi. What Else Is New in Gainsight CSBeyond JO testing, Copilot usage reports, and Group Send access updates, our Q4 release includes several enhancements to streamline reporting, improve AI precision, and simplify admin workflows:Row Groupings with Pivots: Analyze data across row levels while pivoting in the same report, so you can spot insights in one view. Import Reports to Create Key Definitions: Admins can now create Data Key Definitions by importing existing reports. Filters, columns, and logic carry over automatically to save time and improve consistency in Copilot responses. Tag Companies Using “#” in Copilot Prompts: Tag companies directly in Copilot prompts using “#” to specify exactly which company you’re referencing. This improves response precision and reduces ambiguity when working across multiple accounts.Want the full breakdown of what’s new?
