Salesforce Connection Restoration

The new managed package that powers the data integration between Gainsight CS and Salesforce has successfully completed the AppExchange security review and has been published (may take a bit to show up in search due to indexing).
You can continue using the installation links included in our community post under the December 11th update "How can I get the Gainsight-Salesforce connection working now?" until they show up in search. In addition, you won't see the warning message highlighted in the post anymore.

Salesforce connectivity for Gainsight CS has been approved and restoration is underway. Core Salesforce-dependent workflows are now available after reauthorization, with additional features being brought back online progressively. See the https://communities.gainsight.com/community-news-2/salesforce-security-advisory-relating-to-gainsight-faqs-29809 for details and next steps.

Please see FAQs for updated instructions on how to get the Gainsight-Saleforce connection working.

Great news — Salesforce has approved the Gainsight Managed Package with UI. This means you can once again access the Gainsight UI directly inside Salesforce, just as you could before.
Salesforce has also approved the Gainsight Connected Apps that power data exchange between Gainsight and Salesforce. With this approval in place, customers can begin bringing their Salesforce-connected workflows back online.
To resume data flow, the Gainsight Connected App needs to be reauthorized.

We’re excited to be moving into this restoration phase and will continue to share updates and guidance as more functionality comes back online. A follow-up with more details will be coming later today.

We’ve added resources to help Gainsight admins get ready for reconnecting with Salesforce once restoration begins. Visit our Community post for details and Office Hours registration.

Please see an important status update from our CEO Chuck Ganapathi regarding the completion of security investigations:
https://communities.gainsight.com/community-news-2/salesforce-security-advisory-relating-to-gainsight-faqs-29809

We wanted to share an important update: both Mandiant and CrowdStrike have completed their independent investigations. We’ve already shared this investigation summary with Salesforce and are now reviewing the findings together. Once those conversations are complete, we’ll publish the investigation summary on our Trust site, so you have full visibility as well.

In parallel, we are proactively working with our partners at Zendesk, HubSpot, and Gong.io to keep them fully updated so we can get those integrations re-enabled as quickly and safely as possible.
Thank you for your patience and partnership as we work through this final step.

All customers using Google SSO OAuth, are strongly advised to complete the steps in the FAQ item item “My Google SSO login into Gainsight is failing. What can I do?”— even if access to Gainsight is still functioning—to move to SAML based authentication.

In addition, updated guidance is available for re-authenticating the GS Assist Gmail plugin and Gmail calendar integration, if you are running into issues with these features.

Google SSO logins (Gsuite) are currently failing for small subset of customers who use Google OAuth to sign into Gainsight. To ensure uninterrupted access, we would like to propose an alternative approach using SAML authentication. We support SAML setup with any Identity Provider, including Azure, OneLogin and Google. Our team will be happy to guide you through this configuration. Please see the question “My Google SSO login into Gainsight is failing. What can I do?” in our FAQ for more info - https://communities.gainsight.com/community-news-2/salesforce-security-advisory-relating-to-gainsight-faqs-29809

We continue to work closely with Salesforce on the ongoing investigation into the incident. In parallel, a forensic analysis is continuing as part of a comprehensive and independent review.

We will continue to share updates as the investigation progresses and provide additional information as it becomes available.
Customers are advised to promptly rotate all S3 and connector credentials (including BigQuery, Zuora, Snowflake, etc.) used with Gainsight as part of standard security best practices. We have included a PDF with details in our FAQs Community Post. The attachment can be found at the bottom of the post.

Our current findings indicate that the activity under investigation originated from the applications’ external connection — not from any issue or vulnerability within the Salesforce platform. Salesforce has independently notified known affected customers and continues to investigate.

As noted in the FAQ, (https://communities.gainsight.com/community-news-2/salesforce-gainsight-connected-app-incident-faqs-29809) Gainsight can provide the IP ranges and subnets that Salesforce login events from the Gainsight Connector should originate from. At this time, these details can only be shared through a support ticket. If you need this information, please open a ticket with our Support team.

We are committed to keeping you informed, and we appreciate your patience and partnership
