The G2 + 6sense integration enables you to refine segmentation, prioritize outreach, and gain insights from predictive models that incorporate G2 Buyer Intent data.
Basics of the G2 + 6sense integration
How G2 Buyer Intent data auto-maps to 6sense
Buyer Intent signals are automatically mapped (auto-mapped) to accounts in 6sense by matching the website domain on the Buyer Intent signal to an account with the same domain in 6sense. Multiple Buyer Intent signals can be mapped to a single 6sense account, but a single signal cannot be mapped to multiple 6sense accounts.
If G2 cannot match the signal to an existing account in 6sense, a new account is not created, and Intent signals for that account will not appear in 6sense.
About G2 Buyer Intent data
G2 Buyer Intent captures enriched data about buyers researching your product across G2. Buyer Intent signals can be generated by a variety of buyer actions, including interacting with your G2 product profile page, comparing your product to a competitor, and viewing alternatives for a product in a shared category. This data enables your sales, marketing, and customer success teams to identify a buyer's stage in the buyer journey.
Refer to the Buyer Intent documentation for more information on signal types, checking the signals included in your subscription, and more.

To verify the products you can access:
- Go to [my.G2](https://my.g2.com/~/dashboard/home, then select the product dropdown.
- Confirm that your user account can access the necessary G2-listed products.
To access products that are not listed in the dropdown, please ask a user in your organization with access to the missing product to invite you, or contact your G2 representative.
