Forecastable gives you two ways to control how Gong call data is brought into the app:
  1. Gong Automation Rules (recommended). In Gong, Automation Rules can send all calls or a filtered subset of calls to Forecastable. The filter criteria are configured in Gong and can include examples such as call participants, words or phrases, trackers, and call titles.
  2. Folders. In Forecastable, you can select Gong folders to sync. Only calls in the selected folders are retrieved.
This guide walks through both options.

Before you start

Make sure you have:
  • access to Forecastable
  • access to the Gong workspace you want to connect
  • a Gong account with enough access to authenticate the integration
  • an admin account in Gong if you plan to create Automation Rules

Step 1: authenticate Gong in Forecastable

Start on the Forecastable integrations page: Open Forecastable integrations On the Gong card, click Connect.

Gong will then show its authorization screen. In the access screen shown below, Gong lists the categories Forecastable is requesting, including basic call data, call transcripts, library folder details, workspaces, media URLs, user data, permission profiles, and call outcomes.

After you approve access, you will be returned to Forecastable. The Gong card should now show as connected, with a settings icon and a Disconnect button.

Step 2: open Gong settings and copy the webhook URL

Once connected, click the settings icon on the Gong integration card. Inside the settings dialog, Forecastable shows a Webhook URL (recommended) and a Sync folders section.

Take note of the webhook URL. You will use it when configuring Gong Automation Rules.

Option 1: Gong Automation Rules

Automation Rules are the recommended option when you want Gong to decide which calls should be sent to Forecastable automatically.

Go to the Automation Rules area in Gong

Log in to Gong with an admin account. In the left sidebar, open Admin Center.

From there, scroll to the Ecosystem section and click Automation rules.
Navigate to Automation rules in Gong

On the Automation Rules page, click Add rule.

Configure the rule

In Gong, leave the action as Fire webhook and configure the trigger the way you want. If you want every new call to be eligible, leave the trigger at All calls. If you only want a subset of calls, configure the trigger filters in Gong using the criteria that make sense for your workflow. Paste the Forecastable webhook URL into the URL field.

Then:
  1. give the rule a name
  2. optionally add a description
  3. make sure Rule status is enabled
  4. click Save
Save the Automation Rule

Save the Automation Rule

At that point, Gong is configured to send matching calls to Forecastable through the webhook URL you copied from the Forecastable settings dialog.

Option 2: folders

Folders are useful when you want a more manual workflow based on Gong’s Company Library. First, in Gong, go to Conversations → Company library. You can create a folder there or use an existing one.

Then go back to Forecastable, reopen the Gong settings dialog, and use Sync folders to select the Gong folders you want Forecastable to track. Forecastable only retrieves calls from the folders selected here.

How to choose between Automation Rules and folders

Use Automation Rules when:
  • you want Gong to route matching calls automatically
  • you want to rely on Gong-side trigger conditions
  • you want the webhook-based setup shown in Forecastable’s Gong settings
Use folders when:
  • you want to manage inclusion through Gong’s Company Library
  • your team already organizes relevant calls into folders
  • you want Forecastable to retrieve only the folders you explicitly select

Verify the setup

After setup, confirm the integration by checking:
  • the Gong card remains connected on Settings → Integrations
  • the webhook URL is available in the Gong settings dialog if you are using Automation Rules
  • the expected folders appear in Sync folders if you are using folder-based tracking
  • matching or selected Gong calls start appearing in Forecastable where call activity is shown

Troubleshooting

Check the control method you are using:
  • if you are using Automation Rules, verify the rule exists in Gong, the trigger is configured the way you expect, and the rule is enabled
  • if you are using folders, verify the right folders are selected in Forecastable
Reconnect the Gong integration and reopen the settings dialog. If the field is still empty, the server may not be configured with the correct public application URL for webhook generation.
Use Disconnect on the Gong integration card, reconnect the integration, and then reconfigure your webhook or folder settings.

Final notes

The cleanest setup is usually:
  • authenticate Gong in Forecastable
  • copy the Forecastable webhook URL
  • configure a Gong Automation Rule if you want automatic call routing
  • select Gong folders in Forecastable if you want Company Library based control
That gives your team a documented, repeatable way to decide which Gong calls should be tracked in Forecastable.
