Overview

Users can view the Company Intelligence posts in Gainsight application in the C360 page of their company. This allows users to view posts regarding companies and signals in which they are interested and helps them to stay informed about their customers and competitors.

For more information about the Company Intelligence feature, refer to the Company Intelligence Overview article.

Note: Admins can add the Company Intelligence section in the C360 page for all users. But, only the customers who purchased this feature can view the Company Intelligence posts on the C360 page.

Users using Company Intelligence in the C360 section are notified if there are any new posts available. Users can view the number of unread notifications highlighted in red when landed on the C360 page of the customer for which Company Intelligence is configured in C360.

However, when a user clicks on the Company Intelligence section, the highlighted number against the Company Intelligence section disappears immediately and the unread posts inside the Company Intelligence section in C360 are highlighted with red dots. These red dots indicate that these are the new posts and disappear only when the user moves to a different page.

Note: This enhancement is also applicable for the users who are using Company Intelligence in Account, Case, and Opportunity widgets. For more information, refer to the Company Intelligence in Account, Case, and Opportunity Widgets section in the Company Intelligence Overview article.

Preloaded Company Intelligence News Posts

Company Intelligence preloads the news posts for the past six months when you add a company to the opt-in list for the first time.

The advantages of preloading Company Intelligence news posts are:

CSMs can easily view the updates of all major external business events of their accounts.
As the news posts are readily available, this eliminates users to search for particular company news manually. This saves a lot of time for the CSMs.

The Company Intelligence section does not display the unread notifications count for the preloaded news posts.

Note: Slack notifications, in-app messages, or emails are not sent for this preloaded data.
