How can I use the “next best action” for recommending personalized actions based on past Interactions?

159    Asked by debbieJha in Salesforce , Asked on Apr 18, 2024

 I am a data analyst and I am currently working for a retail company that wants to optimize its customer engagement strategies. How can I use the concept of the “Next Best Action” for recommending personalized actions for customers based on their past Interactions and behavior? 

Answered by David

 In the context of Salesforce, here are the explanations given:-

Customer Interaction

You can use the data from various customer touch points such as website visits, purchases, support Interactions, and social media engagement.

Historical behavior

You can analyze past behavior such as browsing history, purchase patterns and history, product preferences, and feedback.

External data

You can incorporate external data sources like demographics, market trends weather conditions, and social media sentiment.

Here is the sample code given which would show you how you can use the Python scikit Learn library for a demonstration of how you can train a decision tree model for the next best prediction:-

Import pandas as pd

From sklearn.model_selection import train_test_split
From sklearn.tree import DecisionTreeClassifier
From sklearn.metrics import accuracy_score
# Load and preprocess your data
Data = pd.read_csv(‘customer_data.csv’)
X = data.drop(‘next_best_action’, axis=1)
Y = data[‘next_best_action’]
# Split data into training and testing sets
X_train, X_test, y_train, y_test = train_test_split(X, y, test_size=0.2, random_state=42)
# Train a decision tree classifier
Clf = DecisionTreeClassifier(random_state=42)
Clf.fit(X_train, y_train)
# Make predictions on test data
Y_pred = clf.predict(X_test)
# Evaluate accuracy
Accuracy = accuracy_score(y_test, y_pred)
Print(“Accuracy:”, accuracy)
Here is the sample code given by using the java programming language:-
Import java.io.BufferedReader;
Import java.io.FileReader;
Import java.io.IOException;
Import weka.core.Instances;
Import weka.core.converters.CSVLoader;
Import weka.core.converters.ConverterUtils.DataSource;
Import weka.core.converters.ArffSaver;
Import weka.filters.Filter;
Import weka.filters.unsupervised.attribute.Remove;
Import weka.classifiers.Classifier;
Import weka.classifiers.meta.FilteredClassifier;
Import weka.classifiers.trees.RandomForest;
Import weka.classifiers.evaluation.Evaluation;
Public class NextBestAction {
    Public static void main(String[] args) {
        Try {
            // Load CSV data
            CSVLoader loader = new CSVLoader();
            Loader.setSource(new FileReader(“customer_data.csv”));
            Instances data = loader.getDataSet();
            // Set class index (assuming last attribute is the target variable)
            Data.setClassIndex(data.numAttributes() – 1);
            // Remove unwanted attributes (e.g., customer_id)
            String[] options = new String[]{“-R”, “1”};
            Remove remove = new Remove();
            Remove.setOptions(options);
            Remove.setInputFormat(data);
            Instances filteredData = Filter.useFilter(data, remove);
            // Define classifier (RandomForest)
            RandomForest rf = new RandomForest();
            FilteredClassifier fc = new FilteredClassifier();
            Fc.setFilter(remove);
            Fc.setClassifier(rf);
            // Train the classifier
            Fc.buildClassifier(filteredData);
            // Evaluate the classifier using cross-validation
            Evaluation eval = new Evaluation(filteredData);
            Eval.crossValidateModel(fc, filteredData, 10, new java.util.Random(1));
            // Print evaluation results
            System.out.println(eval.toSummaryString(“Evaluation Results
”, false));
        } catch (Exception e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
    }
}
