Sync configuration

Once you’ve set up your Gainsight destination and have a model to pull data from, you can set up your sync configuration to begin syncing data. Go to the Syncs overview page and click the Add sync button to begin. Then, select the relevant model and the Gainsight destination you want to sync to.

Syncing companies

The Company object is one of the core objects in Gainsight and is used to store information about your customers, including individual customer records.

Record matching

To match rows from your model to companies in Gainsight, you need to select a model column and corresponding Gainsight field. You can match on any filterable, unique field in Gainsight. Refer to the record matching docs for more information.

Field mapping

Hightouch lets you sync company fields via field mapping. You can map data from any of your model columns to any non read-only company fields.

Hightouch lets you update Low Volume Custom Objects in Gainsight. You can use these objects to store low volume data that needs to be edited frequently.
