If a to-do is not showing in your list, work through these checks in order to find the cause.

Step 1: Check your filters

Active filters narrow your list to a specific subset of to-dos, so a to-do that does not match them is hidden even though it exists.

To check for active filters:

  1. From the left sidebar, click To-dos.

  2. Look for any filters shown at the top of the list.

  3. To remove a filter, click it and select Remove.

Step 2: Check the active tab

The tabs at the top of the page show different subsets of your list, so a tab that shows only one type of to-do hides the others.

To check the active tab:

  1. From the left sidebar, click To-dos.

  2. Switch to the All tab to see every open to-do regardless of type.

Step 3: Check your permissions

To-dos linked to deals, emails, or calls you do not have permission to see are not shown in your list.

If Gong shows a notice that some to-dos are hidden, contact your admin to review your permission settings.

Step 4: Check whether the to-do has been generated yet

Gong-recommended to-dos appear only after a specific event, such as a completed call or an unanswered email. If the trigger has not occurred, or your CRM integration or email and calendar integration is not fully set up, the to-do is not created. Replies from people at your company do not trigger Gong-recommended to-dos. Some Gong-recommended to-dos, such as email follow-ups, go to the deal owner, which is the team member mapped to the owner field in your CRM.

To check whether this applies:

  • Confirm the triggering event happened. For example, check that the call was recorded or that the email was sent and delivered.

  • Confirm with your admin that your CRM integration and your email and calendar integration are active.

Note:

Calls shorter than 10 minutes, or calls with only internal participants, do not trigger a meeting follow-up to-do.

Step 5: Check whether the to-do expired or was dismissed

Gong removes or dismisses to-dos automatically in some cases.

  • Gong-recommended to-dos are removed after seven days.

  • Flow to-dos that stay open are dismissed automatically, and the person is removed from the flow, after 120 days by default.

  • A Gong-recommended or one-off to-do you dismissed can be reopened for seven days. After that it is permanently deleted.

  • If the contact or lead was deleted in your CRM, their flow stops and their flow to-dos are deleted. One-off to-dos are kept.

If the to-do has expired or been dismissed and you still need to complete the action, create a one-off to-do instead.
