Important Update: Migration of our CC customers to Gainsight SSO

We heard you, and it is finally here! We’re thrilled to share that we will soon be starting our migration and implementation of Single Sign-On (SSO) for Gainsight Customer Communities!In March 2024 we will start migrating all of our CC customers to the Gainsight Platform Single Sign-On (SSO) or SAML authentication (depending on your situation). By the end of April all of our CC customers will have been migrated.Why is this important?This is a significant upgrade to our authentication system that makes it easier and more secure for our customers to log in to Gainsight Customer Communities.Following the migration, Administrators, Community Managers, and Moderators will utilize Gainsight Platform SSO to access both the front-end and the control environment of their community, and can seamlessly switch between Gainsight products.  And with the option of configuring SAML authentication it will also be possible to set up identity and access management for employees through platforms such as

csv Export of Segment: What is the logic behind "Last activity" & "Last visit"?

Hi,When pulling a segment csv export I have 2 columns, I don’t understand what they stand for. Q: What is meant by “last activity”?Q: What is meant with “last visit”? (Last visit is before last activity.)  In the segments overview “Last activity” is defined as when someone last viewed something on the Communtiy platform:  As only a few members have entered a “Last visit” timestamp. For many it is empty and I don’t understand why. The first date timestamps are years old, so it doesn’t seem like this functionality was added recently and only applies since.I have exported the csv from a segment in order to find out who registered and never came back after registration day, and we have lost early on in their Member Journey. Best, Lena

SSO

Hello!  We are currently using the Token method for SSO for our users, which only allows for one "Login URL". However, we will soon have multiple domains within our product that users will be coming to our Community and we need to be able to add multiple Login URLs so that users from both places are able to SSO in.  Does anyone have experience with this in their Community?  I was told by the Gainsight engineering team that their SSO settings only support a single login URL for each protocol but suggested I ask the Community in case others have a solution.  thank you!

Duplicated Event: Status does not change to "published" and adding event to featured topics widget does not work?

Hello!I just discovered this:I duplicated an event (the new feature) in Control. (First, I couldn’t find the duplicate/draft, because draft events are on the bottom/in last page of the entire list in the event overview😅)After I published the duplicated (and slightly updated) event, it was still marked as draft in Control.I double checked and hit “publish now” several times.The event was already displayed in the upcoming events tab in the community, but the status was still “draft” in Control. Only after a while, the status was “published”.→ how long does it take to change the status in Control?  Then, I wanted to add this event to the featured topic widget on the home page, as usual. But it cannot be found. I checked several times. Even if I paste the entire correct name, I cannot add the event to this widget:→ is there a solution to this? Does it take a while, too?  Thanks!

Is there a way to set up recurring events?

Hi - I’m looking to feature webinars that happen every 2nd Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday of the month. I don’t want to have to manually create those events every time. Is there a way for us to create the event once then list the cadence in which it happens? Also, is there a way to copy an event? It would make it easier to adjust the necessary options without having to rebuild it from scratch.

Conversational widget not working properly

We have installed the conversational widget. Some times it works, some times it does not. Sometimes you have to wait 30 seconds after a page has loaded before we are able to open the widget.I can’t imagine this is propper behavior. Does anyone had this problem as well? And how did you solve it?We are launching the community on February 1st 2024 and wanted to add the widget as well but now we don’t and that’s a shame.

How to change the "Something has gone wrong" page email address?

I shouldn’t really have to ask this. I should be able to find this easily, either in the application or the documentation, but here I am. Does anyone know how to change the email address in the “Something has gone wrong” message? By default it says “support@insided.com”.I could change this by using some code in the third-party scripts, but I can’t believe that I would have to do that. However, after looking around for an hour now, I cannot find a way of doing this. I presume that it is a phrase, but I can only find anyone mentioning how to change the “Something has gone wrong” text.To see this page in your community, here is a way to get to it. Create a new user and log in as that user. Stay logged in. From the admin console (on another machine or an incognito tab), erase that user. Go back to the machine/window where your deleted user is logged in and try to change the page.You will then see a “Something has gone wrong” page with the “support@insided.com” email.Any ideas on how to cha

How does the Introductions Widget work?

If a user closes it, will they never see it again? What if that widget is removed and a new introductions widget is added? I’d love some documentation on this widget, but can’t really find it.

Is there a workaround to move comments out of a product Update?

Hi,We currently have one topic in our community which we would like to escalate to the next level so it reaches our Product Team. Members are commenting EVERYWHERE the theme pops up. In order to keep an overview and being able to work on the feedback, we have clustered the different aspects the comments are mostly focusing on. We have channeled the feedback in 4 Main Threads and will merge them into ideas so that our Product Teams can work with it in Ideation.Challenge: We have a few comments on several aspects in a Product Update which we would like to add to those 4 main Threads, depending on the topic. Is there some way to do this? I am aware that this isn’t possible directly, I already voted for @DannyPancratz idea: Best,Lena

Additional filters for "Dynamic Content (Moderator Tag)" widget

Hello, I’m setting up a custom page and am exploring the differences between the Dynamic Content widget and Dynamic Content (moderator tags) widget. I noticed that the “regular,” non-moderator tag version has quite a few filters, including answer status, sorting by activity and reply number, etc. Can I also use similar filtering options like that with the moderator tags version of this widget? Ideally, I’d like this widget to pull from a subset of topics that have the applied “featured_home” moderator tag, then filter those by “created in the last X days”, for example.

Deduct points from user

Is there a way to deduct points from a user, for example when they have created duplicate topics (of which one is removed later) and hence got double points?

Email Activation Bypass?

Wondering if there is a way to disable or bypass the email activation stage. Seems like about 20% of my users get stuck here, and I know I can manually bypass them, but it would be nice to just turn this off. I know they are valid email addresses, since they are the same as I communicate with them on, but the activation email seems to be getting stuck in spam filters somewhere (some say they don’t even see the email in their junk, meaning I assume it was caught by their firewall and not even allowed into the client’s email). Thanks!

Gainsight and Confluence Integration

Hello,We are working on a customer community platform using Gainsight and we have run into a bit of a tech issue. Our company has an existing knowledge base on Confluence that we were hoping to integrate with the Gainsight platform, so people can search our Confluence Knowledge Base directly from the customer community we’re using Gainsight to build.I’ve been told that there should be an out of the box connector for us to merge/connect the two, but I’ve been unable to find it, or any documentation for it.How can we connect out Confluence Knowledge Base with Gainsight? If that’s even possible?
