Objects and fields Gong needs access to

When you connect your Gong account to Salesforce, Gong can access any Salesforce data that the connecting user has access to. To control this access, connect using a dedicated integration user. Assign the relevant access levels to the integration user required to import and export data between Gong and Salesforce.

Permissions and visibility required for Salesforce objects

The integration user should have the following permissions in Salesforce:

Read and View All:
- Lead, Contact, Account, and Opportunity objects: Separate check boxes located under Standard Object Permissions
- Task and Event objects: If you export Gong activities to tasks or events
- For Deals and Forecast: Opportunity team, Opportunity Splits, and Opportunity Product objects
Write access (create, update, and delete):
- Task and Event objects: required if you want to export activities as tasks or events in Salesforce
API enabled
View All users

If you have an Engage license

Make sure the integration user has the following permissions:

Contact: Edit and modify all
Lead: Edit and modify all
Account: Edit and modify all
Opportunity: Edit and modify all
Campaign: View all
Campaign members: View all

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. Scroll down to Supported field types for a list of the supported field types.

*These fields are set to export to Salesforce but are not syncing due to a limitation. Granting Gong access to these fields allows them to export once the issue is resolved. Data from before the fix will not be exported.
