Announcements

Visibility 

Team-Based Visibility with Company and Relationship Teams

Automatic Update

Gainsight is excited to introduce enhanced team-based visibility through Company and Relationship Teams, streamlining account and relationship management for greater efficiency and focus.

IMPORTANT

  • Company Teams is available to customers on Enterprise packages. If your organization purchased an Enterprise package after July 29, 2023, this feature is automatically enabled. For older packages, please contact Gainsight Support to enable it.
  • This feature will be available starting from April 26, 2025.

Company Team

A Company Team represents the group of users, including Customer Success Managers (CSMs), Sales Managers, or Account Managers assigned to manage a specific customer account (Company). Company Team allows multiple users with different expertise to work on a single Company collaboratively.

Relationship Team

A Relationship Team functions like the Company Team but is specific to managing subsets or segments of a customer, such as product lines, regions, or business units. It ensures that users view only the relationship-level data tied to their assigned responsibilities within a customer account.
Company Team and Relationship Team–based visibility is now supported across the following modules:

  • Gainsight Home: Filters data to display only assigned accounts and relationships.
  • C360: Limits customer 360 views to companies the user is a part of.
  • R360: Restricts access to relationship-level views based on team assignment.
  • Dashboards: Filter data to display only account or relationship insights tied to the user’s team assignments.
  • Users and Permissions: Configure access to Cockpit, Success Plans, and Timeline.

Data Model

Out-of-the-Box Precalculated Fields Now Available Across Key Data Models

Automatic Update

Gainsight is excited to announce the launch of new Out-of-the-Box (OOTB) standard fields, adding to Gainsight's existing set of data model fields. These new fields are designed to give you faster insights across core objects such as Company, Person, and Relationship in key Customer Success (CS) activities.

These are predefined system fields requiring no user configuration and can be used directly in building new reports or in existing reports and other areas of application, such as Rules and 360 Layout.

The following table provides a brief description of the newly available fields:

Field Name Description Objects
Previous CSM

Name of the last assigned CSM when a change occurs.
Note: This field supports rollback.

Company and Relationship
CSM Changed Date

Timestamp of when the CSM field was last updated.
Note: This field supports rollback.

Company and Relationship
Last NPS Score

Latest NPS score received from a user.
Note: This field supports rollback.

Company Person and Relationship Person
Last NPS Responded Date

Date on which the last NPS survey was responded to.
Note: This field supports rollback.

Company Person and Relationship Person
Last NPS Score Type

Type of the last recorded NPS score ( Promoter, Passive, or Detractor).
Note: This field supports rollback.

Company Person and Relationship Person
Total Number of Open CTAs

Count of open CTAs at the Company level.
Note: A CTA is considered open if its status is not:

  • Draft
  • Closed
  • Snoozed
Company and Relationship

IMPORTANT:

  • The fields follow a six-hour refresh cycle to display changes.
  • The fields are system fields and cannot be modified by admins or end-users.
  • The fields can be hidden or re-enabled upon request by raising a Support ticket.

Note:

  • Fields that are requested for rollback:

    • If the fields were not added to any Reports or Layouts, they are  hidden from the Reports, 360 Layouts, and other product areas where data models fields can be consumed, but are still visible in the Data Management page.

    • If the fields were already added to Reports or Layouts before the rollback, they are no longer available for use in new Reports or 360 Layouts, but  still appear in existing Reports or Layouts with the last recorded values. These fields also remain visible in the Data Management page.

  • For Open CTAs:

    • At Company Level: Open CTAs = Company-level CTAs + Relationship-level CTAs

      • For Example: ACME Company has five CTAs (three open) and ACME Relationship has two CTAs (one open)

      • Open CTA for Company = three (company) + one (relationship) = four

    • At Relationship Level: Only relationship-level CTAs are counted.

      • For Example: ACME Relationship has two CTAs, one meets open CTA criteria.

      • Open CTA for Relationship = one

Rollout Details:

  • Rollout will follow a phased approach, with Sandbox environments starting April 02, 2025, followed by Production starting April 19, 2025. Tenants where the deployment happens will get an in-app notification by the end of the week to confirm it's complete.
  • Fields will be computed and populated in batches to ensure smooth migration. Field visibility may take some time post-deployment, depending on the volume of data.

AI Follow-Up

Admin Controlled
AI Update
IMPORTANT: The product release originally scheduled for April 26, 2025 will now follow a phased roll-out beginning the week of May 5, 2025. A communication will be sent the week of April 28, 2025 to inform you of the specific phase your organization is included in.

In preparation, support articles will be published and linked here on April 26, 2025. This early access will give you and your teams a head start on enablement and allow time to coordinate with IT teams for the calendar syncs required.

Gainsight introduces AI Follow-Up, a powerful feature that transforms the way Customer Success Managers (CSMs) work by automating meeting capture, follow-ups, and insights. With AI Follow-Up, CSMs can seamlessly integrate video conferencing platforms such as Zoom, Microsoft Teams, Google Meet, Clari, and Chorus to bring meeting insights directly into Gainsight.

For more information on AI Follow-Up, refer to the Timeline section.

Sally

Retirement of Sally within Gainsight CS

Automatic Update

With the launch of our Gainsight AI agent in Slack and Gainsight Copilot capabilities, Gainsight is retiring Sally within Gainsight CS with the release on October 25, 2025. This change better aligns our functionality with our AI strategy, and offers a better user experience in Gainsight. Note, our Gainsight Sally bot in Slack and MS Teams will not be affected at this time. 

The Sally bot within Gainsight CS is located in the top-right corner of the Gainsight application. Sally is an early model AI-powered digital assistant that allows users to access customer data through natural language conversation.

The Gainsight Sally, G icon on the top right corner of application.

Important Information: 

  • No action is required at this time from admin or end users. 
  • While Sally within Gainsight CS is scheduled for retirement, Sally will continue to be supported in Slack and Microsoft Teams for the foreseeable future.

If you are currently using Gainsight Sally, we recommend transitioning to Gainsight Copilot. Copilot, currently in closed beta, is launching soon and will be made available prior to retiring Sally within Gainsight CS to ensure no interruption of service.

Enhancements

Customer Success (CS)

Assign C360 and R360 Layout Based on Company Teams
Automatic Update
IMPORTANT: This feature will be available starting from April 26, 2025.

Gainsight is excited to introduce layout assignments based on Company Teams in C360 and R360, enabling admins to control access to sensitive account-level information. With this update, admins can configure specific C360 and R360 layouts that are automatically assigned only to users who are part of a Company Team.

Note:

  • When adding a filter on the Company Team object, a user field gets automatically created.
  • Admins can edit and remove this field. However, Gainsight recommends not deleting the User field filter.
  • Layout assignment is dynamic; if a user joins or exits a Company Team, the layout updates automatically without manual intervention​.

Business Use Case: A company managing strategic and non-strategic accounts wants to restrict financial metrics and escalation data to only CSMs assigned to high-value customers. Using the new payouts, the admin can create two layouts:

  • One layout with sensitive sections, shown only to users in the Company Team.
  • A default layout for all other users, hiding restricted information.

This streamlines data access, enhances security, and minimizes the need for multiple manual layout configurations​.
To assign layouts based on Company teams, navigate to Administration > C360 Layouts > Click any layout to assign > Assign.

Assign layouts page based on Company teams

For more information on how to assign layouts, refer to the Configure 360 Layouts article.

Automatic Update

Gainsight has modified filter behavior in the Edit Report. When adding a filter in Edit Report, ensure that the data type of the selected field on the left matches the field on the right. 
To ensure accurate mapping when using Add Filter, users must select the specific field from the lookup dropdown rather than the parent lookup field.

If the data types do not match, an error message is displayed.

Users and Permissions

[Know More]
Productivity and Workflow Permissions Update
Admin Controlled
IMPORTANT: This feature will be available starting from April 26, 2025.

Gainsight introduces new admin settings that offer greater control over user permissions in Cockpit, Success Plans and Timeline. Admins can now manage access to specific features using new checkboxes available in Cockpit configuration under Administration > Users and Permissions > Permission Bundles.

  • Create and edit views with advanced filters: Admins can now restrict or allow the ability to create and edit custom views using advanced filters through the Create and edit views with advanced filters checkbox in Cockpit, Success Plans and Timeline.
  • Use Column Configurator: Admins can now restrict or allow access to the column configurator through the Use Column Configurator checkbox.
  • Allow CTA Export: Admins can now restrict or allow the ability to export Call-to-Actions (CTAs) using the Allow CTA Export checkbox.

Note:

  • These features are available on demand and are not enabled by default. To enable them, contact Gainsight Support.
  • After enablement, the checkboxes for all applicable features appear in Permission Bundles, but are not selected by default. End users do not have access to these features unless an admin manually selects them in the applicable permission bundles.

For more information, refer to the Permission Bundles article.

Timeline Sync with Email Metadata
Automatic Update
IMPORTANT: Timeline Sync with Email Metadata will be available on April 26, 2025.

Gainsight has enhanced the GS Assist Email Plug-in to improve how email activity date and time sync with Timeline. Previously, when logging an email thread or an inbound email or an already sent email (excluding emails logged from the Email Compose window), the Activity Date/Time in Timeline reflected when the email was logged rather than when it was received. However, with this update the Activity Date/Time matches the email metadata, ensuring that the logged date/time reflects when the email was originally received.

For example, if a customer sent an email on March 27, 2025 but the email is logged to Timeline on April 27, 2025, the activity date would have incorrectly appeared as April 27, 2025 in the timeline. With this enhancement, the activity date now correctly appears as March 27, 2025 in Gainsight Timeline.

Note: This change is applicable for all the customers using Outlook and Chrome plug-in. This improvement will apply to emails logged after April 26, 2025, provided CSMs are on the latest version of GS Assist Plug-in. Previously logged emails will remain unchanged.

The latest supported versions are:

  • Chrome extension: 8.1.0
  • Outlook add-in: 5.3.0

For more information on loading latest versions, see the respective articles mentioned below:

Key Benefits:

  • Improved Timeline Accuracy: Reflects the actual date of customer communication.
  • Reliable Interaction Tracking: Ensures accurate records for reporting and follow-ups.
  • Consistent Data Sync: Aligns email metadata with Gainsight Timeline for better historical tracking.
     

Gainsight Home

Enhanced Visibility and Personalization Settings in Gainsight Home
Admin Controlled
IMPORTANT: This feature will be available starting from April 26, 2025.

Gainsight announces enhanced visibility controls in Gainsight Home using Company Teams, Relationship Teams, along with new and advanced personalization settings. These enhancements empower admins to dynamically control data visibility, ensuring that Customer Success Managers (CSMs) access only the accounts and relationships they are assigned through Company Teams.

Admins can now configure layouts that automatically apply locked filters based on the Company Team or Relationship Team. Filters apply directly to the data displayed in Gainsight Home. When the Company Teams filter is enabled, CSMs only see Company records associated with the teams they are part of. 

Additionally, new personalization settings allow admins to fully lock Gainsight Home, preventing CSMs from modifying the layout, adding widgets, or altering filters. When enabled, CSMs always see the admin-defined layout, aligned to their portfolio and access.

To configure filters based on Company or Relationship Teams, navigate to Administration > Gainsight Home > Configuration > Modify Filter, then select the object, field, operator, and value. For more information, refer to the Configure Gainsight Home article.

New Admin Permissions to Edit and Delete Timeline Activities
Admin Controlled
IMPORTANT: The New Admin Permissions to Edit and Delete Timeline feature will be available on April 26, 2025.

Gainsight introduces configurable edit and delete permissions for Timeline activities, giving admins greater control over user access.This feature enhances collaboration, strengthens data integrity, and supports operational flexibility, especially where activities are automatically logged through AI Follow-Up, plug-ins, or external APIs.

Previously, only the activity owner could edit or delete a Timeline Activity. This limitation created challenges when the owner was unavailable or inactive. With this enhancement, Gainsight now allows admins to assign edit and delete permissions to other users using the Timeline section in Permission Bundles.

Note: By default, these permissions are unchecked.

Edit Source Filters to Add New Participants to Active Programs
Automatic Update
IMPORTANT: We will begin a phased rollout of the Edit Source Filters to Add New Participants to Active Programs feature following the April Q1 release, starting in mid-May through June. You will be informed about your assigned rollout batch. Stay tuned!

Gainsight is excited to introduce the ability to edit source filters, such as Query Builder, making it easier to add new participants to your active program. Admins can now manage active programs more efficiently, thanks to new capabilities that eliminate the need to deactivate or clone programs when making changes.

This enhancement introduces an Edit option that allows seamless updates, including updating participants and fixing configuration errors within a program step.

Enhanced Accessibility for Email Templates in Digital Journey
Automatic Update

Gainsight has introduced key accessibility enhancements for Email Templates within the Digital Journey experience. These updates aim to enhance usability  for visually impaired users especially those who rely on screen readers, reinforcing Gainsight’s commitment to inclusivity and accessible design.

Old Experience

In the earlier version, email templates lacked the clarity and structure necessary for effective screen reader interaction:

  • Unclear Links: Links were not descriptively labeled, making it difficult for screen readers to convey their purpose.
  • Poor Focus Indicators: Users navigating via keyboard or screen readers encountered limited feedback when interacting with elements.. 

These limitations reduced accessibility, usability, and inclusivity, negatively impacting the overall user experience for individuals with different abilities.

New Experience

With this update, here is the key addition and improvement that enhances email templates accessibility.

Descriptive Link Support:

In Digital Journey > Email Templates, users can now enable a new feature:

Add link description for screen readers to read aloud. This opens an optional description box where you can provide contextual information about the link's purpose. This helps screen readers convey meaningful context, improving accessibility and enhancing the email experience for all users.

This enhancement improves accessibility for email templates in Digital Journey by providing clearer navigation and interaction for all users, including those relying on assistive technologies. Customizable descriptions for links foster inclusivity and boost user engagement.

Updated Color Coding for Email Footer Text
Automatic Update

To enhance accessibility and improve readability across all devices, Gainsight has updated the default footer text color from #999999 to #757777.

This change ensures better contrast for users with visual impairments, aligning with accessibility standards.
The image below highlights an example of Gainsight's updated email footer, with improved text color coding for better accessibility and readability.

Improved Email Accessibility for Assistive Tech Users
Automatic Update

Gainsight has improved accessibility in emails sent to end users, particularly for those who use assistive technologies like screen readers

Old Experience:

Previously, emails created with the Email Template Builder lacked semantic structure and accessible text. As a result, end users relying on screen readers encountered difficulties understanding the content or navigating through the email effectively.

New Experience:

With this enhancement, emails are now more accessible and screen reader-friendly. These improvements ensure that all recipients, regardless of ability, can read, understand, and act on the email content.

A sample email

Key Enhancements 

Here are the key additions and improvements that enhance email accessibility:

  • Semantic Markup: Structural improvements ensure better screen reader interpretation of headings, sections, and links.
  • Accessible Elements: Interactive components like buttons, images, and reports now support  Accessible Rich Internet Applications (ARIA) labels and can be clearly identified by assistive technologies. ARIA labels help screen readers convey the purpose of elements that may not have visible text. For example:
    • A radio button with no  visible label now reads Radio button: Option A, instead of just a button.
    • A numeric input without a visual label now uses ARIA text like Question 3: Age.
  • Keyboard Navigation Support: Emails are better structured to support logical reading flow and keyboard-based navigation enhancing usability for all users.

Surveys

[Know More]
Accessibility Enhancements to the Survey Response Page
Automatic Update

Gainsight has made enhancements to the Survey Response Page to improve accessibility for end users, particularly those who rely on screen readers or keyboard navigation.

Old Experience:

Previously, screen reader labels and interactive elements in the survey response page were not fully optimized for accessibility. As a result, users who depend on assistive technologies faced difficulties in understanding survey questions, navigating between options, and submitting responses independently.

New Experience:

With the latest accessibility enhancements, the Survey Response Page offers a more inclusive and user-friendly experience for all respondents. The updates ensure compatibility with screen readers, better support for keyboard-only users, and clearer guidance through improved semantic structure.

Key Enhancements

Here are the key updates that elevate the accessibility of the end user survey experience:

  • Screen Reader Labels for All Elements: All interactive components, such as the radio buttons used to represent the allowed answers under an NPS question, are properly labeled and announced by screen readers. 
  • Keyboard Navigability: Respondents can complete the entire survey using only their keyboard, from answering questions to submitting responses, ensuring a fully accessible, barrier-free experience.
  • Descriptive ARIA Labels and Headings: Added clear, descriptive Accessible Rich Internet Applications (ARIA) labels and headings across key survey elements. ARIA labels help screen readers convey the purpose of elements that may not have visible text. For example:
    • A radio button with no  visible label now reads Radio button: Option A, instead of just a button.
    • A numeric input without a visual label now uses ARIA text like Question 3: Age.
  • Visual Focus Indicators: Enhanced focus styling ensures users can easily track where they are on the page during navigation.

Translations Support for Assistive Technologies
Admin Controlled

Gainsight has introduced key improvements in Surveys to enhance accessibility, particularly for visually impaired users who rely on screen readers.

Old Experience:

Accessibility Issues: Admins could not translate a few labels that were read by screen readers. As a result, users relying on screen readers faced challenges in navigating the survey effectively.
The image below displays the old Surveys Settings page.
