Gong n8n integrationAutomate Gong with n8n.
Where does a call go once the deal moves on? The Gong n8n integration reads that history back out: 4 operations across 2 resources, calls and users, from a single call record to a filtered list of workspace users. Gong has no trigger node in n8n, so a Schedule Trigger opens the run.

What does the Gong n8n integration actually do?
The Gong node ships with n8n and talks to the Gong API. It covers 2 resources, Call and User, with 4 operations in total: read one call, list calls, read one user, list users. Anything the Gong API offers beyond those 4 goes through the HTTP Request node, which reuses the same credential through its predefined authentication.
So think of the node as the reading end of the pipe. It brings call and user records into a workflow, and the nodes after it decide where those records land.
The weekly export is the plainest use of it. A Schedule Trigger fires every Monday, Get Many on the Call resource uses the After and Before filters to cover the last 7 days, and each call becomes a row in Google Sheets. Leave Return All off and the run stops at Limit, which is usually what you want while you are still testing the sheet layout.
A coaching queue works on the same operation with a different filter. The Organizer filter returns only the calls hosted by one person, so a manager gets a Slack message listing that rep's week before the one-to-one. Tick Participants under Call Data to Include and the participant information travels with each call, which saves a second lookup.
The User resource covers the other half: keeping a local copy of who is in the Gong workspace. Get Many with Created After returns the accounts created since the last run, and an insert into Postgres keeps a table you can join against your CRM without calling Gong every time.
Two practical points before you build. Return All chains the API pages until everything is in, so a full history export needs it on, while a daily digest rarely does. And the media option on a single call returns audio and video URLs that stay available for 8 hours, which means a workflow that stores the link for later needs to fetch the file inside that window, not the link.
For the rest of the Gong API, HTTP Request is the way through: same credential, endpoint of your choice. If you are still weighing the platform itself, the n8n review goes through the hosting and pricing model, and the n8n training covers expressions and pagination in detail.
How do you connect Gong to n8n?
- 01
Choose an authentication method
The Gong node accepts two credential types: Access Token and OAuth2. Pick one before you start building, because the credential you select is the one every Gong node in the workflow points to. A credential in n8n is the stored set of values that proves who is calling the API, created once in the Credentials menu and reused everywhere after that.
- 02
Create the credential in n8n
Open the Credentials menu, search for Gong, and fill in the values from your Gong account for the type you chose. Save it and it becomes available in the credential dropdown of every Gong node, on n8n Cloud or on a self-hosted instance. The same credential also works from an HTTP Request node through its predefined authentication, which is how you reach Gong endpoints outside the 4 operations.
- 03
Run one operation to check the wiring
Drop a Gong node on the canvas, select the Call resource and Get Many, leave Return All off, and execute the node on its own. A short list back means the credential works. Then add the filters you need, since it is much easier to see what a field does on a small result set than on a full export.
What can the Gong node do?
The Gong node exposes 4 operations across 2 resources. For each one: the node as you configure it in n8n, the required fields, and our field notes.
Call
2 operationsGet call
call.getWhat you see in n8n
Notes & use cases
Retrieves the data of one call and returns it as a single item in the workflow.
Key parameters
- Call to Get: required, identifies which call to read. When the identifier comes from an earlier node, point the field at it with an expression like
{{ $json.field }}. - Call Data to Include: an option that decides what travels with the call. Choose among Transcript, Participants, Brief, Keypoints, Highlights, Outline, Structure, Topics, Trackers, Action Items, Outcome, Comments, and Audio and Video URLs, whose links stay available for 8 hours.
Get many calls
call.getAllWhat you see in n8n
Notes & use cases
Returns a list of calls, one item per call, with filters that narrow the list before it reaches the next node.
Key parameters
- Return All: on, n8n walks the API pages until every matching call is in; off, Limit caps how many come back.
- After and Before: the date and time bounds of the window, in the format
2018-02-18T08:00:00Z. After is inclusive, Before excludes its own timestamp. - Workspace ID, Call IDs, Organizer: restrict to one workspace, to a comma separated set of call IDs, or to the calls hosted by one user.
User
2 operationsGet user
user.getWhat you see in n8n
Notes & use cases
Reads the data of one Gong user and hands it to the next node. It is the lookup you place after a call, when the workflow has a user reference in hand and needs the person behind it.
Key parameters
- User to Get: the only required field, and the only one this operation takes. It identifies the user to read, either picked in the node or passed in with an expression such as
{{ $json.field }}.
Get many users
user.getAllWhat you see in n8n
Notes & use cases
Lists the users of the Gong workspace, one item each, with three filters to cut the list down.
Key parameters
- Created After and Created Before: keep only accounts created at or after, and before, the timestamps you give, again as
2018-02-18T02:30:00-07:00or its UTC form. - User IDs: a comma separated set of Gong numeric user identifiers, up to 20 digits each, when you already know who you are after.
- Return All and Limit: full workspace, or a capped batch.
