Set up the Gong Integration


❗️Important

You must be a Gong Admin to complete the following steps. Learn more by visiting the Gong Help Center here.

You must also have an Admin role in Crossbeam Core to set up the Gong integration.


✍️ Note

Gong Inbound Integration is only available on the Connector Plan and Supernode Plan. To upgrade your account, visit the Plan & Billing page.


From the Integration workspace in Crossbeam, scroll down the page to the Available Integrations section. Locate the Gong tile and click Install.

Next, a pop-up window will guide you through the installation process.

Complete the following steps:

  • Confirm your Crossbeam account

  • Authenticate your Gong Account

  • Choose Partners from the dropdown options

    • Prioritize the most important Partners to look for in recorded calls

In the next window, you will be setting the Similarity Cutoff. The Similarity Cutoff uses AI models to give you the ability to adjust the sensitivity level for detecting Partner Mentions.

The Similarity Cutoff default is set at 90 to reduce the chances of false positives (incorrect matches). If you discover your Partner Mentions are not being captured accurately, revisit the Set your Similarity Cutoff settings and lower the value for better results. Configuration settings can be located in Crossbeam on the Integrations page.

Click Finish to finalize the integration set up.


😎 Pro Tip

If your Partners have unique company names like "Hooli," we recommend setting up Gong Keyword Trackers. With these additional configuration options, you can fine-tune Gong's ability to identify and catch Partner Mentions effectively.


Once the Gong integration set up is finished, Crossbeam will start to sync 30 days of historical Partner Mentions, as well as continuously monitor every call transcript for future Partner Mentions!

On the Supernode plan, you will see this same timeline on the Attribution page.
