Gong authentication

This page documents the authentication and configuration options for the Gong agent connector.

Hosted mode (most cases)

In hosted mode, create the connector through the Airbyte Agent CLI or API, then execute operations using the CLI, Python SDK, or API. If you need a step-by-step guide, see the developer quickstart.

OAuth

Use the CLI for hosted OAuth connector creation when possible. It opens the hosted setup flow and avoids passing connector secrets through the command line:

airbyte-agent login
airbyte-agent connectors create --json '{
"workspace": "<your_workspace_name>",
"name": "gong"
}'

For API-first use cases, create a connector with OAuth credentials directly.

credentials fields you need:

Field NameTypeRequiredDescription
access_tokenstrYesYour Gong OAuth2 Access Token.
refresh_tokenstrYesYour Gong OAuth2 Refresh Token. Note: Gong uses single-use refresh tokens.
client_idstrNoYour Gong OAuth App Client ID.
client_secretstrNoYour Gong OAuth App Client Secret.

Example request:

curl -X POST "https://api.airbyte.ai/api/v1/integrations/connectors" \
-H "Authorization: Bearer <YOUR_BEARER_TOKEN>" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{
"workspace_name": "<WORKSPACE_NAME>",
"connector_type": "Gong",
"name": "My Gong Connector",
"credentials": {
"access_token": "<Your Gong OAuth2 Access Token.>",
"refresh_token": "<Your Gong OAuth2 Refresh Token. Note: Gong uses single-use refresh tokens.>",
"client_id": "<Your Gong OAuth App Client ID.>",
"client_secret": "<Your Gong OAuth App Client Secret.>"
}
}'

Token

Create a connector with Token credentials.

credentials fields you need:

Field NameTypeRequiredDescription
access_keystrYesYour Gong API Access Key
access_key_secretstrYesYour Gong API Access Key Secret

Example request:

curl -X POST "https://api.airbyte.ai/api/v1/integrations/connectors" \
-H "Authorization: Bearer <YOUR_BEARER_TOKEN>" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{
"workspace_name": "<WORKSPACE_NAME>",
"connector_type": "Gong",
"name": "My Gong Connector",
"credentials": {
"access_key": "<Your Gong API Access Key>",
"access_key_secret": "<Your Gong API Access Key Secret>"
}
}'

Execution

After creating the connector, execute operations using the CLI, Python SDK, or API. If your Airbyte client can access multiple organizations, set the default organization with airbyte-agent organizations use, include organization_id in AirbyteAuthConfig, or include X-Organization-Id in raw API calls.

CLI

Authenticate with Airbyte:

airbyte-agent login

Create the connector. The CLI opens the hosted setup flow:

airbyte-agent connectors create --json '{
"workspace": "<your_workspace_name>",
"name": "gong"
}'

Describe the connector to see its supported entities and actions:

airbyte-agent connectors describe --json '{
"workspace": "<your_workspace_name>",
"name": "gong"
}'

Execute an action:

airbyte-agent connectors execute --json '{
"workspace": "<your_workspace_name>",
"name": "gong",
"entity": "<entity>",
"action": "<action>",
"params": {}
}'

Python SDK

The connect() factory returns a fully typed GongConnector and reads AIRBYTE_CLIENT_ID / AIRBYTE_CLIENT_SECRET from the environment:

The recommended pattern is build_connector_tools, which gives the agent three tools bound to this connector: inspect_connector, read_skill_docs, and execute. The agent can inspect the connector, read only the skill-doc section it needs, and then execute:

inspect_connector() -> read_skill_docs() -> read_skill_docs(section="...") -> execute(entity, action, params)
Pydantic AI
from airbyte_agent_sdk import build_connector_tools
from pydantic_ai import Agent
from airbyte_agent_sdk import connect
from airbyte_agent_sdk.connectors.gong import GongConnector

connector = connect("gong", workspace_name="<your_workspace_name>")

tools = build_connector_tools(connector, framework="pydantic_ai")
agent = Agent("openai:gpt-4o", tools=tools.as_list())

Legacy alternatives

These examples are kept for existing integrations. For new agents, use build_connector_tools above. The legacy GongConnector.tool_utils pattern loads the connector's full generated catalog into one broad execute tool description instead of letting the agent read skill docs on demand.

Pydantic AI
from pydantic_ai import Agent
from airbyte_agent_sdk import connect
from airbyte_agent_sdk.connectors.gong import GongConnector

connector = connect("gong", workspace_name="<your_workspace_name>")

agent = Agent("openai:gpt-4o")

@agent.tool_plain
@GongConnector.tool_utils
async def gong_execute(entity: str, action: str, params: dict | None = None):
return await connector.execute(entity, action, params or {})

Or pass credentials explicitly (equivalent, useful when you're not loading them from the environment):

Pydantic AI
from airbyte_agent_sdk import build_connector_tools
from pydantic_ai import Agent
from airbyte_agent_sdk.connectors.gong import GongConnector
from airbyte_agent_sdk.types import AirbyteAuthConfig

connector = GongConnector(
auth_config=AirbyteAuthConfig(
workspace_name="<your_workspace_name>",
organization_id="<your_organization_id>", # Optional for multi-org clients
airbyte_client_id="<your-client-id>",
airbyte_client_secret="<your-client-secret>"
)
)

tools = build_connector_tools(connector, framework="pydantic_ai")
agent = Agent("openai:gpt-4o", tools=tools.as_list())

API

curl -X POST 'https://api.airbyte.ai/api/v1/integrations/connectors/<connector_id>/execute' \
-H 'Authorization: Bearer <YOUR_BEARER_TOKEN>' \
-H 'X-Organization-Id: <YOUR_ORGANIZATION_ID>' \
-H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
-d '{"entity": "<entity>", "action": "<action>", "params": {}}'

Open source mode

In open source mode, provide API credentials directly to the connector.

OAuth

credentials fields you need:

Field NameTypeRequiredDescription
access_tokenstrYesYour Gong OAuth2 Access Token.
refresh_tokenstrYesYour Gong OAuth2 Refresh Token. Note: Gong uses single-use refresh tokens.
client_idstrNoYour Gong OAuth App Client ID.
client_secretstrNoYour Gong OAuth App Client Secret.

Example request:

from airbyte_agent_sdk.connectors.gong import GongConnector
from airbyte_agent_sdk.connectors.gong.models import GongOauth20AuthenticationAuthConfig

connector = GongConnector(
auth_config=GongOauth20AuthenticationAuthConfig(
access_token="<Your Gong OAuth2 Access Token.>",
refresh_token="<Your Gong OAuth2 Refresh Token. Note: Gong uses single-use refresh tokens.>",
client_id="<Your Gong OAuth App Client ID.>",
client_secret="<Your Gong OAuth App Client Secret.>"
)
)

Token

credentials fields you need:

Field NameTypeRequiredDescription
access_keystrYesYour Gong API Access Key
access_key_secretstrYesYour Gong API Access Key Secret

Example request:

from airbyte_agent_sdk.connectors.gong import GongConnector
from airbyte_agent_sdk.connectors.gong.models import GongAccessKeyAuthenticationAuthConfig

connector = GongConnector(
auth_config=GongAccessKeyAuthenticationAuthConfig(
access_key="<Your Gong API Access Key>",
access_key_secret="<Your Gong API Access Key Secret>"
)
)
