Connect Salesforce to Gong
Who can do this?
-
API access enabled on your Salesforce Org
If API access isn't enabled, you get an error when you try to connect.
-
We recommend setting up an integration user with the following attributes:
-
Is a Salesforce admin
-
If using multiple currencies, the integration user must have their personal currency set to the same currency as the corporate currency
-
If using opportunity teams, splits, or products, the integration user must have access to any relevant objects
-
-
In Gong, click Company settings > Integrations > Salesforce.
-
Click Connect and log into your Salesforce account.
-
When prompted, click Allow to authorize Gong to access Salesforce.
Gong asks for access to your basic information and to perform requests on your behalf.
Gong requires this access to read data (Lead, Contact, Account, Opportunity, Opportunity History, Field History tables, Task, Organization table and so on) using REST API. If you want to push calls or tasks into Salesforce, the app requires write permissions for these objects.
Next time you open this page in Gong, you'll see the version installed and if there's a newer version available.
-
Click Manage Salesforce fields to manage which fields to import to Gong.
Refer to the following articles for info:

Note
When you switch to multiple currencies, we convert all deal values into your default corporate currency, including for past closed deals. Therefore, this action cannot be reversed.
