You just enabled your Gong Consent Page, and now your Zoom Meetings require a passcode, but you don’t have one. No worries! Once the Consent Page is enabled, Gong automatically generates a passcode even if one isn’t originally required according to the user settings. This initiates a new protocol that causes the passcode to be required.As a workaround, simply enable the Zoom setting “Embed passcode in invite link for one-click join”. To do this, have your Zoom Admin follow the steps below: Log in with a Zoom admin account. On the left-hand menu, open Account Management → Account Settings. Search for “Embed passcode…”. Toggle “Embed passcode in invite link for one-click join” ON. Note: For meetings that are already scheduled, you will need to generate a new consent link after changing the Zoom setting. For more information, see the Zoom documentation for changing account settings. 

Did you listen to multiple calls today? Are they all stamped with a green “Listened” badge but your “Gong Usage” numbers don’t align? This is perfectly normal! On your new nav bar, under the Insights tab, you’ll find “Gong Usage”. This page gets updated daily, so you’ll see the right numbers there tomorrow. Want to take advantage of our Insights tab? Check out how to level up on coaching and metrics with the Gong Academy!

Hi All,Has anyone figured out a way to block the question rate metric in Gong from counting phrases like “do you have any questions?” or “how’s the weather by you?”. It’s an important metric and I’d love to get as close to a real number as possible.Thanks!Courtney

Does anyone use Gong to connect with Salesforce person accounts.  I’m having issues connecting conversations to Person Accounts.  Anyone have experiences to share?

Hi there - I have 2 accounts (and each with their own opportunity), and am seeing an email communication with a contact at one account is showing up on the activity timeline for both accounts. I’ve checked salesforce to confirm that the contact is only related to a single account. Is there a way to manually unassociate this contact and activity from the incorrect account in Gong? thanks!

 Thanks to everyone that attended, contributed and played Jeopardy! during last week’s meetup. Yes, we had a lot of fun playing Jeopardy! If you missed the meetup you can access it here. Our meetup was focused on up-leveling your insight in Gong without ever leaving Gong, using:  Win/Loss  Market Insights Call Categories  Smart Trackers (new!) Deals Initiatives (new feature!) Deal Drivers   Takeaways: The launch of so many Insights in addition to long standing favorites like Win/Loss, diminishes the need to export data to spreadsheets or a BI tool. People, especially those that are new to Gong, are not 100% aware of all the available Insights. This was especially true for Whisper for Topics. Call To Action:Play along and listen to the call. Have fun playing Jeopardy! while learning.  Register for next month’s meetup, where we plan to have a customer tell us how they are driving success using Gong. Resources:  Link to the call  Join us for another meetup December 14th, 1PM E

Are you noticing that your screen-shares and presentations aren’t showing on the “Call page” in Gong? Are you importing your web conferencing calls from Zoom into Gong manually?If you answered yes to both of these questions, Gong is working as intended. When you manually import calls into Gong, the video and audio are uploaded but the screen-shares and presentations aren’t. To ensure that screen-shares and presentations are uploaded into Gong: 1) If you’re using the native Zoom integration, manually hit “Record to cloud” in Zoom. If there’s an associated calendar event for the call, we’ll import it. 2) If you’re not using native Zoom, add “assistant@gong.io” to the calendar event as a participant.  Both of these will record your call(s) and automatically upload your video, audio, and presentations into Gong!

Hi there, I am new to Gong and loving it! Something I can’t figure out though - is there a way that as a Manager / administrator I can mark one of my team member’s recordings as “private” so that it does not get shared with the broader team?  It appears the only way to do this is if the team member is the one that marks it private. Is there not a setting or something that a Gong admin could do this? Or another alternative to be able to keep a recording in Gong to provide coaching and feedback to the individual, without sharing with the entire team?  Thanks!

If your Hubspot deals aren’t appearing in Gong, check two things:  Is the deal owner’s email address the same in Gong and Hubspot? Does the deal have a parent account associated with it in Hubspot? If you answered yes to both and the deals still aren’t appearing in Gong, grab a screenshot of a missing deal, then copy/paste the screenshot and the deal’s ID into an email, and send it to our Support team here. They’ll investigate further!

Hello - Can someone explain to me the number of contacts associated with deals and where it comes from.   In salesforce we have one name associated with an opportunity then of course there are others on the account.   In some of the deals I see in Gong I see 0 contacts, some show 1 and others show multiple.   I am trying to confirm 100% the source of truth for the contact data.   Is it pulling from the opportunity in SF, or the account or is it something else/different?   Thanks, Joe

Are you running into snags while installing Gong for Salesforce? In your company settings, under CRM > Select Salesforce > click the Install button under Gong for Salesforce.  Didn’t work? Go ahead and click the Install button in incognito mode. Here’s how: Open Google Chrome.The easiest way to open an incognito window is with the keyboard shortcut combination Ctrl-Shift-N (Windows) or Command-Shift-N (macOS). OR you can click on the the three vertical dots in the upper right-hand corner of your screen and select New Incognito Window from the list. After you install it in incognito mode, refresh the page. It may take some to sync with your CRM!Having issues with Appexchange?Here is the direct link to Gong for Salesforce V. 2.25

Hello,I am using deal boards more and more and find them to be a MUCH better way to track deals and review pipe.   One area I have not figured out about the integration with Salesforce is related to logged calls.   I have several deals with warnings showing up for a lack of activity but when I go into salesforce I can see that my sellers are logged calls where they leave VMs (for ex).   So I can see the activity but that is not funneling through into Gong and as a result my reps are seeing warnings when they are not really needed.   More so it causes a lack of trust in the data.    Is there any way to track this type of activity in Gong?Thanks,Joe 

Are you trying to sync the calendar events for your “Additional email addresses” in Gong? If your calendar integration (Google Workspace or Microsoft 365) is set to “Company-wide connection”, Gong will only sync your “Primary email address”. If you would like to sync a different email address with Gong: 1) You can switch your “Primary email address” in “My Profile”. For more information, check out our article here!2) You can move your calendar events from your “Additional emails addresses” to the “Primary email address'' you have connected to Gong. For more information on how to do that, check out the following link: Transfer Google calendars or events.
