Thank you for your feedback
When you connect your Gong account to Salesforce, Gong can access any Salesforce data that the user has access to. To restrict this, set up an integration user. Assign the relevant access levels to the integration user so that you import and export data between Gong and Salesforce.
Permissions required for the integration user
The integration user should have the following permissions in Salesforce:
View all access:
Lead, Contact, Account, and Opportunity objects (separate check boxes located under Standard Object Permissions)
For Deals and Forecast: Opportunity team, Opportunity Splits, and Opportunity Product objects
For Engage: Campaign object
Write access (create, update, and delete):
Tasks: required if you want to export tasks to Salesforce
API enabled
View All users
Permissions required for fields in each object
Refer to the following tables to understand what fields are required for the integration, and what's recommended to get the most out of Gong.
Required fields cannot be deselected and must be included in the integration. Your Salesforce integration won't work if we can't access these fields.
Recommended fields can be deselected and don't have to be included in the integration. However these fields enhance functionality or customization options for your deal boards, call filters, and so on and we recommend importing them to Gong.
Other fields can be added as necessary - see the list in the final section to understand what field types are supported.
