Beginners Guide To The Gong API - Recap.

Thanks so much for joining our Beginners Guide To The Gong API Meetup. It was exciting to have such an engaged group ready to get using the Gong API. If you missed the meetup you can access it here. Top 3 discussion areas: Why to connect to the Gong API How to connect to the Gong API Practical use cases for getting started One attendee shared their API interest was driven by the need to stop the time consuming task of downloading and editing CSV files.Two different attendees said the API is compelling because they want Gong data in their data warehouse for further analysis and combining with other data. Resources: Link to the call We shared a Postman based Gong API Starter Kit, containing the most used Gong API calls — so you can start using the API today. Fast forward to minute 9:14 in the recording to hear more on this. We showed a spreadsheet based tool called Apipheny, that allows you to pull Gong data directly into Google sheets. Fast forward to 27:04 in the recording

Edit Prospect Highlights

Gong recorded a call and one of the bullets in the Prospect Highlights pane in the Call Spotlight references a competitor the customer mentioned. The problem is it didn’t capture the name correctly and I’d like to be able to edit it with the correct name for tracking and reporting purposes. Is this possible?

How to aggregate Activity in Gong, specifically inbound/outbound emails and calls

I want to model out the characteristics of closed won deals. One of the metrics I am keenly interested in is the number of customer facing interactions. I am less concerned about sales cycle as I am how many touches does it take. I can see this information when I go to Account Status. I can look deal by deal for all closed won activities but this is very time consuming. What I can’t seem to find in places like insights is a roll up for all inbound email, outbound email and calls. If I can see that in aggregate by seller that would give me amazing insight for what a closed won deal looks like. That would be a massive win for me as a sales leader. Is there a way to export this data? I don’t mind doing the work in excel if I can’t get it in Gong. I am trying to upload an image the icon here doesn’t seem to want to let me add the screenshot. In short, if I go to account status I see exactly what I am after but I can’t do this across 50 deals a quarter and manually ent

Looking for help fine tuning Deal Board accuracy.

We use Gong with HubSpot. Often times when reviewing the No Activity (no comms within 14 days) column within Drivers, the rep had actually spoken to the prospect within the past few days. It appears the discrepancy almost always occurs when there are multiple product lines we sell, and a different rep might be speaking with someone else at that same company based on a different deal.There might be no way around that, but I’d love to figure out getting those percentages to be as accurate as possible. i.e. Product rep will show 12% of deals have no activity within 14 days, but every one of those deals does have comms within that time frame.Anyone have some best practices on ensuring accuracy?

Exporting All Gong Recordings Directly to Google Drive

To whom it may concern: My team would like to export all of our Gong recordings before our contract and licenses expire, however - considering how large video files typically are - I’d imagine we have TBs and TBs worth of video files and none of us have the ability to download these and save them locally. That said, is there a way to export all of our recordings directly to our company Google Drive? At least this way we can spare ourselves the headache of trying to download these, save them locally (if we have space), and then upload them to Google Drive. Thanks,Tim

Getting from data to insights quickly - Gong Data Cloud + Snowflake meetup recap

@Or Farber , Senior Product Manager Analytics at Gong, presented a comprehensive and exciting vision for the Gong Data Cloud, an exciting new offering that gives customers a unified data model to utilize Gong data to its full potential and get from data to insights quickly. As a Gong partner that works with so many Gong customers' data, I’m excited about the data acquisition time and cost savings the Gong Data Cloud will provide. So often we all find the data acquisition and preparation time takes away from valuable data analysis time. Highlights: Without the Gong Data Cloud, there are various options, each their pros and cons, to extract Gong data including/: CSV (easy but manual, partial data) API (technical, partial data) Gong for Salesforce (automated, out of the box reports, partial data) Export data to HubSpot (automated, partial data) Gong Data Cloud is the answer!

Remember when you first saw Gong and looking for reporting?

Hello world,I’m very new to Gong and there’s a lot of interest from leadership. I’m wondering if anyone can give me a couple quick wins on running any reporting that would be presentable to c-level. (We’re still waiting on initiative dashboards and such) I want to provide some baseline for our new journey into the world of Gong. :)Thanks,

Time to generate Call Spotlight for recordings?

Hi there,I’m trying to use the API to capture the Call Spotlight information (Call Brief, Next Steps, etc) when a call recording is ready using the Gong API (specifically the /v2/calls/extensive endpoint) so I can bring that information into our CRM.It worked well when I was backdating for prior calls, but when I’m triggering the automation off of a recording it seems the spotlight information isn’t ready yet - sometimes taking 3+ hours before I’m able to run the call successfully.Is there a way to trigger the system to generate the spotlight when I need it outside of accessing the call recording manually, or a consistent time I can use to wait before attempting to access the spotlight data so I can avoid wasting API calls?Thanks!

Talk ratio in comparison to win/loss record

Hi,I am wondering if you are able to find a spot within Gong where I would be able to see what the ideal talk ratio is for my team. I want more in depth results than what is reported in the insight > interaction page. I would like to see each of my account executives, the talk ratio for each call, and whether or not it won or lost.Let me know if anyone else is looking for this data and if there is a solution.

Multi-Thread Win Rate Data

The image below shows the effect multi-threading has on winning new business deals: This screenshot is pulled from a Multi-Threading YouTube video that referenced a Gong study. Is there a way we can run an analysis like this for our internal team based on OUR data? Want to know how much effect multi-threading has on our deals. We currently have the Gong for Salesforce package installed. I'm guessing we would maybe need to utilize a business intelligence platform like Snowflake. Curious what the Community’s thoughts are. Would really like to see the correlation between the win rate and number of unique participants on calls/emails.

Call type

Hi Community!Has anyone successfully implemented a way to categorise a call. It would be great to differentiate between a discovery call, demonstration etc. etc. and the only way I think it’s doable is through the comment #hashtag but Ideally I want to see this differently on the deal activity.Any ideas?

RECAP - 5/10 Meetup for Data in Gong: Doing more with less

In this month’s meetup we discussed creative ways to measure team/ rep efficiency and productivity using Gong data. We were joined by Gongsters and Gong practitioners @Sunny Huang and Corey Fineman, who Gong entrusts to uncover insight using Gong data. It was a timely day to talk about “how to measure” given today’s Gong Insights announcement. Corey and Sunny showed the visually appealing result of taking calls and email activity for their customer-facing teams to answer questions like: Ensuring that your highest ARR accounts are being resourced properly. Identifying the rock stars who are “doing more with less” and replicate them Understanding rep efficiency by visualizing revenue closed/rep against time spent with customersIt was a great example of how you unleash a BI tool on basic Gong building block data and see tremendous insight. Viewer Warning! This meetup talks about advanced topics! You will see Gong data (calls and emails) shared with a data tool (Snowflake) and used by

Getting The Gong Experience In Salesforce - March 8th Data In Gong Meetup Recap

New to Gong for Salesforce?Already using it and want to take it to the next level? Watch a recording of @Shif Arad and Dor Sened, two names synonymous with Gong for Salesforce, lead us through a very informative session on Gong for Salesforce. I know Gong and Salesforce pretty well and I walked away with a lot of new information and tips. HIGHLIGHTS: Data Enrichment:How many times have you wanted to add contacts that Gong automatically captures, through its visibility to meetings and emails, to Salesforce? Wait no more! People were very excited to learn about the Salesforce data enrichment opportunities using Gong participant data and Salesforce flow. I liked in particular that Gong for Salesforce comes with out of the box Flows that you customize for your company. So you can update/ create Participant Contact Roles, Competitors, and enrich Contacts and Leads. Push Emails (and Calls) to SalesforceWhile not technically part of Gong for Salesforce, Dor reminded us of the long-standin
