Gong

Run a workflow when a Gong call is recorded and processed — to summarize the conversation, sync it to your CRM, or flag calls that match a pattern. The call data becomes the workflow's input.

For behavior shared by every provider (the delivery URL, testing), see the webhook triggers reference.

Setup

Gong has no create-webhook API — you wire it up in Gong once, by hand:

  1. Add a From an app trigger and pick Gong. Cotera generates a delivery URL with an authentication token embedded in it.
  2. In Gong, go to Company Settings → Automation Rules, create a rule with the Fire webhook action, and paste Cotera's full URL (token included).
  3. Set the rule's filters — deal stage, participants, call type, and so on. That filtering happens on the Gong side; the trigger runs for every call the rule fires on.

No Gong account needs to be connected in Cotera, and there's nothing to tear down — remove the automation rule in Gong to stop deliveries.

Event

call.processedA call matching your Gong automation rule is processed and its data is ready

There's a single event; per-call filtering lives in the Gong rule, not the trigger.

Payload

Gong POSTs the { callData, isTest } envelope; it's passed straight through as the workflow input:

FieldDescription
callData.metaDataCall identity and metadata: id, url, title, timing, direction, media, language.
callData.contextLinked CRM records (e.g. the Salesforce opportunity), as configured in Gong.
callData.partiesParticipants with name, email, title, and internal/external affiliation.
isTesttrue when Gong sends a test delivery from the rule editor.

Authentication

Gong doesn't sign deliveries. Instead, the delivery URL carries a Cotera-generated token (?cotera_webhook_token=…), which is why you paste the whole URL into the Gong rule unchanged. Cotera timing-safe compares that token against the trigger's secret on every delivery and rejects anything that doesn't match. Treat the URL like a secret.
