Notes

  • You can only link to Risk type CTAs.
  • When you map a CTA or create a new one, the Zendesk ticket ID is automatically populated in the Comments section and is linked to the appropriate Zendesk ticket. This comment gets prepended to the existing comments, if any. In addition, these details are removed from the Comments section when you unlink a CTA.
  • You can use the View in Gainsight link to view the CTA in Gainsight.

  • Once a CTA is created, you cannot delete it. However, you can only unlink a CTA to a Zendesk ticket.
  • A CTA can have multiple Zendesk tickets associated with it. All of these tickets are displayed in the Comments section.
