The Gainsight Administrator sets up business rules to automatically trigger Calls to Action (CTAs), but you can also quickly create a CTA manually from Cockpit. You might need to add a CTA manually to track an important meeting, or another customer event or risk that you’ve identified. The Cockpit helps provide visibility for you and your team into your workload.

Create Recurring Event CTAs

If you want a particular CTA to be created multiple times at regular intervals, you can mark a CTA as recurring. Administrators can make a CTA Type as recurring so that end users  can see the recurring check box in CTA detail view.

Select the Recurring check box to mark a CTA as a recurring event. You can set it to recur Daily, Weekly, Monthly, or Yearly.
For example, if you have weekly or monthly check-ins with a customer, and you want a CTA to automatically remind you to prepare for the check-in, this might be useful.

Note: You cannot associate persons for recurring events.
