Once your administrator has configured and enabled email notifications, you can start using Email Notifications (the Bell icon) to configure the notifications that you would like to receive. For more information on how admins can configure email notifications, refer to Configure Internal User Email Notifications

Note: When clicking the bell icon, if you are unable to see Email Notifications, contact your administrator.

Subscribing to Email Notifications Manually

You also have the option of manually subscribing to individual customers in order to receive relevant notifications. After your admin has completed the necessary configurations for email notification, navigate to Customers > [Click on the desired customer] > [Click + icon beside Follow]. You will be subscribed to the selected customer, and you will start receiving notifications based on your configuration in Email Notifications (the bell icon).

Email Notification

Email Notification

Depending on your subscription preferences, you will receive an email like the one above in Real Time, Daily or Weekly. In the example above, a Real Time notification was sent about a new CTA. In the email body there will be a hyperlink to the CTA or Survey and the Customer record. The subject of the email will be Your [Subscription Frequency] Notification Email and the email will come from Salesforce.

Note: These emails will be delivered from the User who configures the Notification settings from the Administration > Notifications section.

If you follow multiple customers in Gainsight AND you set email notifications, you will receive notifications for all of your followed customers. If you follow multiple customers and set your notifications to Daily or Weekly, you will receive consolidated email notifications.
