This article will guide you in loading or inserting NPS® results from a 3rd party Excel file. Use these instructions when you administer(ed) surveys outside of Gainsight, but you want to load the results into Gainsight for reporting and health score purposes. This can be accomplished with any SFDC data loader.

Once the NPS® results are loaded into Gainsight, you can visualize the data on the NPS® analytics tab and the Customer or Relationship 360. In the example below, we use the Salesforce Data Import Wizard to load the survey results, after setting up the results spreadsheet and configuring Gainsight.

Create Survey in Gainsight

Create Survey in Gainsight

For surveys administered outside of Gainsight's Survey module, you need to add the Survey to our Survey Master. The Survey Master generates a Survey Code that will hold the 3rd Party NPS® Data, or in other words, your survey responses.

Navigate to Administration > Surveys. In the NPS® Survey Master section, click New to create a new survey with dates that fall within the period you are loading results for.

Complete the NPS® Survey Master details:

  • Publish Date: Date Survey is Published
  • Survey Name: Name that will be Populated in analytical views.
  • Survey Code: It can be the same as the survey name (recommended).

Then copy the id in the URL and save it for reference later. Sample code is: a1J37000000gQ7TEAU.


If you're loading results into an existing survey, go to the Survey Master Page and click edit next to the relevant Survey Master. Copy the Survey Code in the URL.

Insert NPS® Results from Excel File

In this step, you’ll prepare the file for import. You can this template as a model. Save the file as CSV (Comma Separated Values). If your original 3rd Party data has extra fields, remove those columns and save the new file. (** indicates required field)
  • JBCXM__Account__c** : SFDC Account ID (Can be 15CH or 18 CH, can vary by data loader)
  • JBCXM__SurveyCode__c** : Remember that ID you copied, it goes here (Sample: a1J37000000gQ7TEAU)
  • JBCXM__NPS®Comment__c : Optional comment corresponding to NPS® Score.
  • JBCXM__NPS®Score__c** : Score that the survey respondent provided.
  • JBCXM__NPS®ScoreText__c** : Duplicate column of NPS® Score that the system needs.
  • JBCXM__NPS®ScoreType__c** :

Use this Excel Formula to convert numerical Survey Score into a readable GS Score Type

=IF(Survey Score>=9,"Promoter",IF(Survey Score>=7,"Passive","Detractor"))  

Replace “Survey Score” to reference Cell in Spreadsheet.

  • JBCXM__ResponseDate__c** :

Convert Format as: YYYY-MM-DDTHH:MM:SS.000Z (Date/Time)

  • JBCXM__UserEmail__c** : Email address of respondent. If not provided, use user@companyname.com
  • JBCXM__UserName__c** :If not provided, use Email Address
  • JBCXM__UserRole__c** : If not provided, replace with User
  • JBCXM_GSRelationship_c : (Optional) Provide Record ID (18CH)  from GS Relationship Object

Some setups may vary, but typically these two should be marked Salesforce.com ID:
