This article is the second in a series of Salesforce connector articles. Gainsight recommends you to first refer the initial articles and then proceed with this article.
This article explains how to establish a connection between Gainsight NXT and a Salesforce org. After reading this article, admins can connect Gainsight NXT to a Salesforce Sandbox org, Production org, or a custom domain.
Overview
A connection is a link between a Gainsight NXT tenant and a Salesforce org. You can create a connection either to your Salesforce Production org or Sandbox org. Salesforce Connector also allows you to create a connection to Salesforce org which is configured to a custom domain. After you establish a connection to your Salesforce org, you can authorize the connection and start syncing data from Salesforce to Gainsight NXT.
IMPORTANT: You can create only a single connection in Salesforce Connector. A connection can be associated to only a single Salesforce org. If your data resides in multiple Salesforce orgs, you must first delete an existing connection (after you sync the data) and then create a new connection.
