Note: Gainsight tries to match this information to its database of contacts and returns a profile or set of profiles that might be a match. If the contact's LinkedIn profile is not found, you may paste the contact's LinkedIn URL.

  1. The Tracking Status column displays the stage the profile is in. There are three different statuses available under the tracking status:

  • Pending: At this point, a match still may not be found, in which case Gainsight will search publicly available social networks for the details on the contact’s social profile. In the meantime, Gainsight identifies the contact's Sponsor Tracking status as Pending.

  • Match Found: For the person records with the status as Match Found, click the three-vertical dots menu icon and select View Match.

    The Start Tracking  popup appears with the following options:

  1. Find a New Match: Allows you to restart the staging/queuing process in case you’re not happy with the match found. This action reverts the status of the contact to Pending.
  2. Start Tracking: Allows you to initiate tracking the person as a Sponsor. This action updates the status of the contact to Tracked.
