Can the Gong API Return Speaker Names/Email Instead of Speaker IDs in Transcripts?

I’m currently using the Gong API (v2/calls/transcript) to retrieve call transcripts, and each transcript entry lists speakerId. For better readability and ease of integration, we would prefer to retrieve the actual speaker names or emails instead of just speakerId values.Is there an option in the Gong API to directly return speaker names or emails? Or, is there an endpoint available that allows us to map speakerId values to corresponding names or emails?  I’d appreciate any insights.Thanks

Support Tip of the Week: Adding assistant@gong.io to an external call?

If an external party organizes a call, it won’t automatically record. If you’d like to record it, you can always add assistant@gong.io to the calendar event. If you do, note that only the host of the meeting URL will be able to admit or remove the bot. Because of this, we recommend only adding assistant@gong.io if you own the meeting URL, to ensure you maintain full control of the bot.

Support Tip of the Week: How to push call data to Salesforce

When you set up the ‘Gong for Salesforce’ app, you might notice the “Repush historical call data to Salesforce” option.  If the option is greyed out, it means there are already conversations in your Salesforce instance. If you were previously connected to a Salesforce sandbox, you’ll want to select this option to repush the call data to your production environment. However, if you have never connected to a Salesforce sandbox, you can ignore this and simply check the “Push call data to Salesforce” option. Then select a date in the past from which you’d like to start pushing call data.Want to learn more? Check out our help article, here.

Support Tip of the Week: Why are my Insight tab numbers reflected incorrectly?

Under the Insights tab, you’ll see “based on # calls.” You filtered the page by “All calls,” and it’s not showing the exact number of calls you’re seeing under your Conversations tab.  No worries! It should update by the end of the week. These numbers aren’t real-time and are updated weekly (typically on Saturdays).

Support Tip of the Week: Are you missing deals on your Forecast Board?

Are there Deals you don't see on your Forecast Board?  Check your Deals tab! All the data on your Forecast Board comes from your Deal Board. With that said, if the deal information is inaccurate or missing on your Forecast Board, it is most likely inaccurate or missing on your Deal Board as well! Reach out to the Support Team to determine why you may have inaccurate or missing data.  Check out your filters if you see a deal on your forecasting board but not on your deal board (and vice versa)! The filters may block the deal from making it to the board! Check out our article for more details on filters when creating a Forecasting Board!

Support Tip of the Week: I sent/received an email, and it's not on the Deals page. Where is my email?

Did you send/receive an email, and it's not showing under "activity" on the deals page?  Does your Gong Primary email address match the email address in your CRM? Is the external individual sending/receiving the email a contact for that opportunity in your CRM?   If both of these appear correct, email us at help@gong.io! Please provide the message ID(s) for the missing email(s) and a screenshot of the "Original Message"? Instructions are below on how to get these two items. Troubleshooting: Where's my Email?    If you're a customer that doesn't have a CRM - Check out our Gong Academy Session here!

Support Tip of the Week: Missing the Zoom Passcode required after enabling Consent Pages?

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.

Support Tip of the Week: Manual uploads and Screen-shares not showing up in Gong?

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!

Support Tip of the Week: Hubspot Deals not showing up in Gong?

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!

Support Tip of the Week: Unexpectedly seeing an internal call recording?

If you notice that an internal call was recorded when it shouldn’t have been, double check the calendar event to see if any participants used an external email domain (e.g., a personal email address). If they did, that explains things! Gong equates external email addresses with external meetings, and automatically records those calls.

Support Tip of the Week: Can’t find your Salesforce field to import?

If you’re looking to import a Salesforce field into Gong, check first to see if it exists on your Gong company settings page > Salesforce > Manage Salesforce fields. If it’s not listed on the appropriate Object, we might not support its field type. Here are the field types we support:  DATETIME DATE INT CURRENCY PERCENT DOUBLE STRING TEXTAREA EMAIL URL ADDRESS ID REFERENCE PICKLIST PHONE TIME BOOLEAN Note: “Auto Numbered” and “Formula” fields are eventually mapped to a more specific field (date, number, string, etc.), so they can be supported if they are eventually represented by one of the field types listed.
