Copilot

The Copilot feature helps you to communicate with your customers in a personalized way using predefined templates and tokens. In addition to this, it also provides communication analytics that helps you to modify the strategy for effective communication.

Feature Highlights:

  • Power List: You can create a power list (list of emails or contacts) that gets automatically refreshed as per your requirement (Powered by Rules Engine).
  • Email Templates: We have designed a few email templates for you. This will allow you to establish a quick email communication with your customers. Moreover, you can create your own template to avoid the hassle of writing the email body manually each time when  you send an email.
  • Tokens: You can avoid the hassle of writing the First names and other details manually for each customer. Use tokens while creating an email to pick the required values dynamically.
  • Outreach: You can create an Outreach containing a Power List and schedule its execution as per your requirement. The scheduler performs the job of sending emails to customers at regular intervals. For example, you can inform customers about an event by creating an Outreach and by assigning a Power List to it. In addition, you can schedule the execution of an Outreach on a daily, weekly, or monthly basis.
  • Analytics: You get a graphical representation of the Outreach (emails) statistics sent to customers. The parameters for analyzing the email sent are: Sent, Opened, Clicked, Bounced, Marked As Spam, and Unsubscribed.

Data Load API - Execution Logs    

Enhancement LocationAdministration > Integration > Data Load Configuration > View Data Load API Logs

Description: Each row in the following table describes the status of an individual call of the Data Load API. This call can be via Data Loader Tool, Curl command, or any ETL integration, such as Informatica. The most recent calls are listed first. However, you can paginate to view past statuses.

The following is a description of the important fields that are available  in the Data API Logs:

Status: Queued status shows that the request is queued and will be processed when resources are available. Success/Failure status comes only after processing has been completed, it can either success or fail. You can click on the download icon to view the records which got failed.

Time taken: This columns show the time taken since the request got submitted to when processing completed.

Request ID: If you need to call support related to any of Data Load API issues, kindly quote this request ID.

Limitations

  1. The logs displayed corresponds to the API calls made to Data Load API. If you upload a file using Data Loader Tool, you may see multiple records here each representing one individual chunk.    
  2. Download CSv file for failed records does not work in Internet Explorer 9 and below. Works on IE 10+. (Lastest versions of all web browsers are fully supported.)

Product Transactions (LRM 2.0)

You can use this feature to automatically fetch transactions/subscription/contracts information from any standard or custom SFDC object into Gainsight using the rules engine.
