NEW! Make Customer Management More Personal With Person 360

Technology-driven businesses grapple with the challenge of balancing broad data insights with personalized, human engagement. And, that problem gets magnified in Customer Success. Your book of business consists of companies, but the reach of those companies includes a highly matrixed organization with complex relationships between departments. If that doesn’t complicate things enough, day-to-day interactions happen with individual contacts who carry their own opinions and perspectives when it comes to your product. Gainsight brings customer insights in focus at all levels using Customer 360, Relationship 360, and now Person 360. While powerful individually, together they offer a multi-layered solution, allowing businesses to navigate the complexity of customer relationships with precision and a personal touch.See Your Whole Customer With Customer 360 It is said that hindsight is 20/20 and any customer success manager would love a crystal ball into what the future holds when it comes to retaining customers. With Customer 360, you get the benefit of both. Customer 360 provides an aggregate historical view of data and analytics from across the Gainsight suite of products, as well as other critical sources like CRM. In addition to the snapshot of what has happened, it also gives you a look into the future by highlighting trends and insights that help you make decisions on customer escalations, interventions and opportunities to grow wallet share via CSQLs.  This holistic perspective enables businesses to understand and anticipate customer needs, fostering stronger relationships and paving the way for more clarity on the best approaches to protect and expand revenue. Connect More Dots With Relationship 360  Relationship 360 enables teams to take customer success management beyond company-level insights. By focusing on the intricate web of relationships that exist within each customer organization, Gainsight provides an easy and efficient way to gain a comprehensive understanding of several components of a company. Whether it's between departments, across products, or through geographic regions, Relationship 360 offers a detailed view that encapsulates the full spectrum of interactions and connections within a customer's organization. This approach results in customer success teams being able to address unique needs and challenges from different parts of a customer organization. Go Deeper With Person 360 The addition of Person 360 allows you to cascade your data down to the individual level, providing a detailed view of each contact in your customer organization. By pulling in data like sentiment, survey responses, Community actions, product engagement and more, Person 360 allows customer facing teams one place to access insights into each individual's preferences and history with the company.Having quick access to the granular details for individual contacts drastically cuts down prep time for customer meetings. Additionally, this user-friendly feature also gives team members the ability to initiate actions like Timeline notes or email engagements directly from Person 360. Person 360 brings value to your collective go-to-market efforts, including: Marketing: Quickly uncover opportunities for advocacy and get insights for targeted campaigns that resonate with personas by reflecting real preferences and behaviors.  Sales: Prepare more relevant pitches, meetings and offers, easily accessing insights to understand the dynamics of various stakeholders involved in renewals or expansion opportunities.  Customer Success: Quickly identify at-risk detractors early and take targeted actions to address concerns and improve satisfaction. By unifying customer insights that tie together data relationships and go deep into individual contact data, businesses can craft a customer success strategy that is both broad in impact and personal in focus. This holistic approach can help inform new ways to drive customer engagement, satisfaction and loyalty by meeting customers exactly where they are in their lifecycle with your business. .

New! Customization Mode for Events

One of our core beliefs is that anyone, regardless of their technical background, should be able to customize their community the way they want. To double down on that, we’ve made some big enhancements to the Events experience in Destination to make it easier for you to promote your events on your community, and for your customers to find and join those events. Customization ModeWe’re excited to announce that the Events page now supports customization! This means that you can add widgets to your events page using our widget library. For example, use the customizable search banner widget to search through Events, or insert a banner widget above the events list to promote a large upcoming event or do a call for speakers. New Tabs and Event Types FilterMoreover, we’ve added a couple of new navigation elements to this page. First, we added dedicated tabs for Upcoming and Past events to make it easier for customers to search through all your events without having to scroll. Your community members can also use the new Event type filter to narrow their search down based on the type of event.More Add to Calendar OptionsUp until now, users could only add an event to their Google Calendar. Starting today, your users can also add events to their Outlook and Apple calendars. Delete Event TypesYes, really. You can now delete Event types! Enjoy greater control and organization by removing redundant event types from your repertoire. Improved Event CardsTo improve the way that we show events on the Events page, we have made a couple of smaller quality-of-life improvements:Dates now include the year of the event, making it easier for your users to know how long ago an event took place We also show the user’s current timezone after the time of the event, to better clarify what time this event takes place The Event type tag is no longer overlaying the featured image but is placed next to the featured image Customize Your Events Page Today!To start customizing your Events page, head over to the Events page in Destination, click on the “Customize” button, and make any changes you want. Once you publish your customized Events page, this customized page will now be the default page for your users. Note that after publishing your customized Events page, there is no way to revert to the old experience. ImportantYou can enable and customize the Events page yourself until June 1, 2024, so you can control when it will go live for your users, and with which styling. After June 1, 2024, we will enable the new customizable Events page for all customers by default, with default branding (so no hero image, default page title, etc.). Don’t stress! We’ll send you a reminder if we see you haven’t enabled this yourself before the deadline. Thanks for Your Help!Many of these improvements were sourced from your great ideas! Here are a few of the ideas we closed with this release.  Have ideas for other features or enhancements? Add them here! What’s Next?Up next, we’ll focus on improving the Control side of Event management, by introducing a new and improved Event creation flow, allowing you to save events as drafts and duplicate events with ease.Let us know what you think in the comments below

(To access learner transcripts, navigate to the People Tab → People. Then, select a learner and click on the Activity Tab.)Now, we’re introducing learner transcripts to give your users their own one-stop shop to see completed items, including courses, learning paths, instructor-led training sessions, and certificates. The result? Better organization and more motivation to learn.Note: If you have a custom academy and don’t currently have learner transcripts, reach out to your CSM for assistance. Learner-Facing TranscriptsLearn More About Learner Transcripts Understand the Impact of Your Learning Paths Our analytics suite has always given you access to rich academy-related data to help you understand course popularity, track course completion rates, and more. Now, we’re giving you two new dedicated dashboards—this time to help you understand the impact of your learning paths. Here’s what’s new: Learning Path Progress: See how many people are enrolled, in progress, or have completed a learning path.  Multiple Learning Path Analysis: Analyze progress across multiple learning paths—activities, progress, and performance.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​With these insights, you can identify trends and patterns with your learning paths, make more informed decisions, and optimize the learning experience for all.  Learn More About Learning Path Dashboards Updated Navigation to Align Customer Education with the Gainsight Universe Next time you log into Gainsight Customer Education, you’ll see we moved the navigation from the top of the screen to the left-hand side. Why?

Have your learners noticed how much faster your academy is loading!? New Email Requirements: Google and Yahoo are now enforcing stricter rules for sender domains, so we’ve made some changes to our Communications engine, including a new “unsubscribe” button and configuring our default email domain.

Introducing the New Topic Moderation Page

The tools we use are crucial to maintaining a healthy, engaging, and safe environment. That's why we're excited to announce a significant update to the Topic Moderation Page (TMP) - a major milestone in our suite of moderation tools. A Technical Leap Forward 🤓It all started with a vision to enhance the TMP by reducing defects, using new technologies and ensuring feature parity across different content types. This change was driven by our commitment to innovation and delivering the best possible experience for our moderators and community managers. Preserving Core Functionalities. Understanding the importance of continuity, we ensured that all essential functionalities of the existing TMP are retained in the new version. However, to align with our goals of efficiency and modernisation, certain features like the IP popup, Profile popup, and tracking of personal unread replies with a scroll to new reply function were not carried forward. This decision was made considering the high implementation cost and our focus on more impactful features.  Short-Term Benefits: Enhanced Experience. Immediately, we should notice fewer bugs and small yet significant UI improvements. We are also adding functionalities like attachments in Product Updates and ideas on control and destination, enhancing the moderation process's versatility and effectiveness. Long-Term Benefits: A Foundation for Future Growth. Looking ahead, the refactored TMP sets the stage for rapid and seamless integration of new features. It opens up possibilities for moderating additional content types such as educational materials or event-related discussions. Moreover, the redesigned UX/UI will not only make moderation more intuitive but also more enjoyable.  Celebrating Progress and Team Effort 🚀The team's dedication and collaborative spirit have been the driving forces behind this successful refactoring. The new TMP is the team’s commitment to our community managers and moderators, to provide the best tools to foster vibrant and safe online communities.This update is a significant step forward in that journey, and we're excited about the future possibilities it unlocks! Thank you all for your ongoing support and feedback, which have been and is invaluable in this process 🙌

Learn more about how one-off emails work here.  Send automated email campaignsAutomated emails, on the other hand, will dynamically pull the recipient list every hour and trigger the email send as soon as a user matches the set criteria. For example, if you’re running an automated onboarding email campaign, the campaign can trigger an email to send when a user registered exactly 7 days ago. While each individual user will only receive the email once, the campaign dynamically updates the recipient list and sends emails as new users hit the necessary thresholds or requirements. Check out this article for more information and examples of automated email campaigns. Use Segments to target usersDynamically group community members based on set criteria using the Segments feature and easily select that segment as the target audience for your one-off email campaign (coming soon for automated campaigns). This makes it easy to send timely emails, leveraging the rich content that already exists on your community, to drive engagement and help scale digital programs like onboarding.Follow these steps to start building your first segment today, or use one of the adoption flywheel segments we already built for you! Customize your email templates & themesCreate a consistent experience for your community members by customizing the email theme. Set items like the ‘wrapper’ and footer, add your logo or custom header, and adjust the content area to look and feel like your brand.  The possibilities are endless!Together, Segments and Email Campaigns unlocks the ability to continuously connect with your community. There are many different use cases, but let’s look at a few that you can get started with today.Use an automated onboarding email flow every 7, 14, and 30 days to welcome members to your community, educate them on how to use the space, and build positive user habits. Send automated reactivation emails to members that have been inactive for more than 30 days. Build automated adoption email campaigns to drive adoption of different community features like groups.  Create a monthly community digest email recapping the top content.

Enhanced Widget Customization Options

Your Digital Hub and Community should look and feel uniquely like your brand. That is why we are excited to release enhanced customization options that empower community managers to customize widgets throughout their Digital Hub. The out-of-the-box customizations are easy to use and require no coding knowledge!What’s New?Customize widgets by adding text and background colors to make your widgets stand out and match the look and feel of your site Enable top margin and adjust top and bottom padding to control the spacing between widgets and improve design flexibilityPlease note that if custom CSS is heavily used in your instance, you may notice some shifts in the existing UI of your instance. Please contact your CSM if you have any questions or need assistance.Get Started!To get started, simply navigate to the homepage or any custom page. Enter customization mode and select the widget you want to add or customize. From there, you can:Add your desired text and background colors - you can choose primary or secondary colors from the theme, or a custom color to make the widget stand out. If you do not specify a color, the widget will use the theme color.  Enable or disable the top margin (spacing between two widgets) - top margin adds space on top of the widget (grey area in the screenshot below.) The theme's background color is used for the margin.  Enable or disable top and bottom padding (spacing within a widget) - padding is the space on top and bottom of a widget’s content (seen in red in the screenshot below). Padding uses the widget’s background color if one of the available options is selected. If not, the color derives from the theme’s background color.  ​​​​​​We hope these enhancements make it even easier for you to create engaging and visually appealing content for your hub. As always, we welcome your feedback and suggestions for future updates.

Improved Handling of Technical Content on Topic Creation

Dear Community ⭐️ We are happy to announce that we recently worked on improving the way we handle technical content on topic creation 🚀 Why? Many communities have faced challenges with our firewall identifying technical content as malicious, leading to disruptions in the ability to share desired content and engage within the Community. Our Web Application Firewall was in fact blocking content creation when it detected malicious content. Ultimately, this enhancement will be providing our users with more freedom to publish their technical content. What is changing?From now on, when our platform detects malicious content due to technical content, this content will not be immediately blocked but will be detected as spam. Moderators will be able to review that content more efficiently, and it will enable their users to publish the technical they want. What about security? We've always been committed to offering a secure platform for all our users, and this remain a priority to us. Therefore, we are still doing security checks (AWS WAF and Akismet). But instead of rejecting the content, we are redirecting it as spam so moderators can still approve or reject the content.  What does that mean for me, moderator and /or community managers?You may observe an increase in content classified as spam, since posts that would have previously been blocked will now reach this queue.  Also, note that if the spam check is disabled in the Spam detection settings page, you will not receive this content as spam. If you trust your community and your community is technical, we recommend turning disabling the spam checker. We hope that these changes will enable us to maintain our security standards while providing a more fluid user experience for our technical content creators. We are confident that this new process will greatly reduce the incidence of false positives, ensuring that valuable discussions and information are not lost ⭐️Your feedback is always valuable in driving these improvements, and we're grateful for your continued support 🙌 For any questions or further clarification regarding this update, please feel free to reply in comments!
