How do I connect Gong with an access key and secret?

Integrations / Gong·May 31, 2026·1 min·By Callmine Team

Connect Gong to Callmine with basic-auth credentials. Create an access key and secret in Gong admin, paste them into Settings, done.

TL;DR

Generate an access key and secret in Gong's admin console, then paste both into Callmine's Settings → Integrations → Gong card. Optionally override the base URL if your Gong tenant is on a regional cluster.

Steps

  1. 01Sign in to Gong as an admin and open Company Settings → Ecosystem → Manage API access.
  2. 02Click Create new API key. Gong shows the access key and secret once — copy both immediately. Gong will not display the secret again.
  3. 03In Callmine, open /settings and find the Gong card under Integrations.
  4. 04Choose Connect with basic-auth, paste the access key and secret, and — if your tenant uses a regional cluster — paste the base URL Gong gave you (for example https://us-44392.api.gong.io).
  5. 05Click Save. Callmine validates the credential against Gong's API and marks the integration Connected.

When to use this path

Basic-auth is a first-class path, not a fallback. Use it when your Gong tenant doesn't permit third-party OAuth apps, when your security policy prefers credentials under your direct control, or when you want a key that won't silently rotate during an analysis run. For the OAuth path, see How do I connect Gong to Callmine via OAuth?.

Rotating or replacing the key

To rotate, generate a fresh key in Gong's admin console and paste it into the same Callmine card — the new credential overwrites the old one. Revoke the previous key in Gong once the replacement is live. Reports, schedules, and quota persist across rotations.

§ Common questions

Frequently asked.

Where do I find access keys in Gong?

Sign in to Gong as an admin, open Company Settings, then Ecosystem, then Manage API access. The key + secret pair is generated there.

Do I need a custom base URL?

Only if your Gong tenant sits on a regional cluster like `us-44392.api.gong.io`. If you're not sure, leave the base URL field blank — Callmine falls back to Gong's standard endpoints automatically.

How does Callmine store the secret?

The access key and secret are encrypted at rest with a symmetric key held in our secret manager. Only the worker that runs your analysis decrypts the credential at request time.

Can I rotate the secret without losing reports?

Yes. Generate a new key in Gong, paste it into Callmine — the new credential overwrites the old one. Existing reports and quota are unaffected.
