Sending Data to Gainsight

Identify

You can send users to gainsight by making a freshpaint.identify call. When you do this, we create a Person object on Gainsight. You can see then by visiting Administration > Customer Data > Data Management, then searching for person in Search by an object's Name, and finally selecting the object with name Person.

One important thing to note - Gainsight does not support sending arbitary user props. You'll need to allowlist them first. Some props like Email, Name etc. are allowlisted by default. You can allowlist your custom props on Gainsight.

Using the User Mappings configuration you can also map some freshpaint user properties to Gainsight Person Field Name. By default we provide you with the following default mapping:

Gainsight Default User Mapping

Another important note: Sending the Email field is mandatory in gainsight. Without this identify calls to Gainsight will fail.

With the default mappings, a sample identify call will look something like:

freshpaint.identify("[e-mail]", {
	"email": "[e-mail]",
	"firstName": "Abhishek",
	"lastName": "Kedia"
})

Track

For sending track calls to Gainsight you'll need to select the Enable Events option and provide us with the event framework configuration.

Also Gainsight requires to create events on their UI before sending any event data.

You can do that by visiting Gainsight's Events Page (Administration > General > Events) , select the Events tab and then click on Create Event button. For any event that you create on Gainsight you'll need to specify a name and version in the Event Mappings configuration on Freshpaint.
