Article summary

Tech admins can give Gong access to Google Workspace by connecting and granting permissions for calendar meetings and emails. Super Admins can install the app directly, while non-Super Admins need to send a link to a Super Admin for installation. Permissions should be carefully managed to avoid instability. Import settings for calendar meetings and emails can be customized, with the option to import all meetings or only those set to be recorded. Data capture must be turned on for team members to complete the integration. Team managers can monitor and enable email imports for their teams.

Who's it for: Tech admins

Where to go: Company settings > Data capture > Google Workspace

Give Gong access to Google Workspace

Connect to Google Workspace and give Gong access to calendar meetings and emails.

  1. To install the app:

    1. If you are a Google workspace Super Admin, log into Google Workspace as the Super Admin user. In  the Google workspace page in Gong, click Connect.

    2. If you are not a Super Admin, in Gong, in the Google Workspace integration page, click Send link to a Google Workspace Admin. Follow up with your Google Workspace Super Admin to make sure they install the Gong app in Google Workspace.

  2. In the Google Workspace marketplace, click Domain Install to install the Gong.io app.

    Note:

    Changes to permissions when updating other Google Workspace configurations may cause the Google Workspace integration with Gong to become unstable.

  3. Click Allow to grant Gong.io the right to access your domain data. This permission is static, and ensures that Gong can import emails and calendar events for your company. For more details on the elements Gong can access, click i in the grant screen.

  4. Optional: In the Turn ON for area, select the organizational unit (OU) you want to turn the Gong app on for. Gong will only be able to access data for people in that unit. Note that if you need to set up recording for a group of people, we recommend that you use OUs and not groups.

  5. Click Accept. When the set up is complete and Gong has access permissions, the set up screen closes, and a success message is displayed in the Google Workspace integration page. This can take up to 24 hours to fully complete.

  1. In Gong, in the Google Workspace integration settings page, turn on import of calendar meetings, and select what type of meetings to import:

    Note:

    By default, we turn on import for calendar meetings and emails, which is highly recommended so that your salespeople benefit from seeing a comprehensive view of deal activity, all in one place.

    • Import meetings set to be recorded: only meetings that match recording settings are imported.

    • Import all meetings, including meetings not set to be recorded: all meetings, including meetings with CRM contacts that are face to face, scheduled by the contact, or with a missing URL—but with the exception of private calls—are imported.

      When this option is turned on, we import meetings from the last 12 months where we can match the participants with a CRM account.

    • Note that there are additional setup requirements for importing meetings not set to be recorded.

  2. Turn on import of emails.

  3. Turn on the ability for team members to send emails via Gong.

Turn on data capture

You must turn on data capture for relevant team members in order to complete the integration. For details, see Change settings for a team

Note:

Team managers can check the status of their team’s connections in My Settings. If they have permission, they can turn on email import from this screen.
