Gainsight Connector
Connector implementation
Build the Gainsight integration
Customer success platform for reducing churn, driving expansion, and improving advocacy
Implementation Overview
Implement a Gainsight connector that authenticates to the vendor surface, normalizes source records in Tajo, and activates eligible data in Brevo.
Treat this as an implementation guide. Build and validate the auth, mapping, sync, and operations paths before production use.

Authentication
-
Keep support.gainsight.com/gainsight_nxt/API_and_Developer_Docs/About/API_Documentation_Overview linked from the connector runbook so operators can confirm vendor behavior during incidents.
-
Store credentials per Tajo workspace and keep tenant-specific secrets out of connector configuration files.
-
Add a credential smoke test that verifies read access to a harmless resource before running backfills or enabling webhooks.
Data To Sync
Start with these inferred data domains, then confirm exact vendor resources and permissions from the source documentation:
- Contact and identity records
The connector should make source records idempotent by keeping a stable key such as a vendor object ID, email address, event ID, ticket ID, order ID, or campaign ID. If the vendor only exposes list APIs, Tajo should store the cursor strategy and replay policy explicitly.
Sync Shape
No typed contract exists for Gainsight, so the direction of each resource and its conflict handling are not recorded. Direction is declared per resource on a connector contract; see the connector catalog for how contracts are promoted.
Mapping To Tajo/Brevo
No Brevo projection is recorded for Gainsight. A projection is declared on a typed connector contract, and Gainsight does not have one yet, so this page will not state a mapping it cannot source.
The conventions that apply to every connector — stable external IDs, normalization, backfill and sync strategy, error handling, and the builder checklist — are documented once under “Applies to every connector” on the connector catalog.
