Gainsight Person Ingestion Channels

​Overview

Gainsight People is an object model with unique records to represent people in the real world. People model is one of the Gainsight core standard objects which is associated with multiple Gainsight applications.

Gainsight People data is stored in the following three objects:

• Person
• Company Person
• Relationship Person

There are different ingestion channels through which People data can be loaded into Gainsight by Admins and users. The Gainsight system can also load People data automatically while configuring the Participant list in Journey Orchestrator. The following sections explain how Gainsight Admins, users, and system load People data into Gainsight through different ingestion channels.

Prerequisite

Before ingesting data into the Company Person and Relationship Person objects, ensure that the associated Company and Relationship records are ingested into the Gainsight Company and Relationship objects.

Gainsight Admins

Gainsight Admins can use the following channels to ingest data into Gainsight People model:

• Admins can sync Contact data from Salesforce to Gainsight People model through the Salesforce Connector Out of the box Company Person Sync job. For more information, refer to the Company Person Sync Job article mentioned in the Additional Resources section.
• Admins can ingest data into the Person, Company Person, Relationship Person objects through the Rules action type Load To People:

1. Create an S3 Dataset to load data from CSV files in the S3 bucket. For instructions, refer to the S3 Dataset Task in Rules Engine article mentioned in the Additional Resources section. You can also create a dataset using the Salesforce object, if the Salesforce Connector is enabled in your org.
2. Use the Load to People action type to insert or update records into the Person, Company Person, and Relationship Person objects. To learn more, refer to the Load to People article mentioned in the Additional Resources section.
