If you solved the error in Salesforce, either manually export the call to Salesforce or do a bulk push for all calls that failed to export to Salesforce.
Individual calls: Go to the call in Gong and click
> Push to Gong for Salesforce. You will be notified if the push was successful or not.Multiple calls: Go to Company settings > CRM > Salesforce. In the Export to Salesforce section, select Repush all failed calls. If there are failures after repushing, we'll email you with the number of calls that still failed to export, and an example of some of them. The email may take some time to arrive.

If this doesn't work, contact your Salesforce admin or Gong support.
