# Use Customer Satisfaction to Drive Recommendations
Use Einstein Next Best Action to tailor recommendations based on customer satisfaction scores. For example, offer a service contract discount to customers with low satisfaction or a new product preview to those with high satisfaction. Drive retention and upsell with targeted offers.
### Required Editions
Preparation
To record customer satisfaction scores and use them to determine which recommendation to display, this example includes two custom fields. To follow along with the example, set up these two fields before you begin.
Contact object custom field:
- Field Label: CSAT score
- API Label: CSAT\_score
- Field type: Number (length 2, decimal places 0)
Recommendation object custom field:
- Field Label: Category
- API Label: category\_c
- Field type: Text (length 18)
To set up these Next Best Action recommendations:
1. [Create action flows](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=platform.nba_examples_csat.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5 "Create two simple screen flows, one to execute an action for the low CSAT recommendation and one to execute an action for the high CSAT recommendation.") for the high and low CSAT recommendations.
2. [Create recommendation records](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=platform.nba_examples_csat.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5 "Create records for the low CSAT and high CSAT recommendations.") for the high and low CSAT recommendations.
3. [Create a strategy flow](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=platform.nba_examples_csat.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5 "The recommendation strategy flow specifies when and how the recommendations are presented on the Contact record page.") that determines how the recommendations are presented to the customer service or account rep.
4. On the Contact record page, [add the Next Best Strategy component](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=platform.nba_examples_csat.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5 "To make the recommendations available to the customer service or account rep, display the Next Best Action component on the Contact record page.") that displays the recommendations and executes the strategy.
## Create Action Flows
Create two simple screen flows, one to execute an action for the low CSAT recommendation and one to execute an action for the high CSAT recommendation.
This example keeps things simple by displaying a different text message for each recommendation but not incorporating other automation. For a real-world application, you can add additional elements to implement the service contract discount and the new product preview. For an example of using an action flow to send an email request, see [Offer a Gift Basket to Each of Your Accounts](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=platform.nba_examples_gift_basket.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5 "Use a Next Best Action component on the Lightning Account record page to offer a gift basket to each of your accounts. When a customer accepts the offer, a form opens to collect the recipient’s name and shipping address. After the form is submitted, a request email is sent to the shipping department.").

5. To add an image (optional), click **Upload Image** and follow the instructions.
