Aka CES, it reflects product usage, feature interaction, and behavioral signals that point to real value. This score helps businesses: - Predict churn early - Prioritize customer success outreach - Identify upsell opportunities - Score leads or accounts more effectively It's based on behavior, not sentiment, making it more reliable than subjective metrics like NPS. ### What Is the Customer Engagement Score Formula? There's [no fixed global formula](https://www.lindy.ai/blog/customer-engagement-score). Each company needs to define what engagement means based on its product. The general formula looks like: **_Customer Engagement Score = (a × Event1) + (b × Event2) + (c × Event3) + ..._** Where: - **Event1, Event2, etc.** are user actions (logins, feature usage, etc.) - **a, b, c** are the weights or importance you assign to each #### Example: CES = (2 × #Logins) + (4 × #Key Feature Uses) + (1 × #Support Tickets) – (3 × #Days Inactive) You can tweak the weights depending on what drives retention. ### What Events Should You Track? The most useful scores are built on **value-driving actions**, not vanity signals. | Event to Track | Should You Use It? | | ---------------------------- | ------------------------ | | Weekly or daily logins | Yes | | Use of core product features | Yes | | Time spent in-app | Yes | | Support ticket submitted | Maybe (context matters) | | Clicking marketing emails | No (too passive) | | NPS or CSAT score | No (not behavioral data) | Start with 3–5 events that make the most sense for your business. For example: - If you run a **project management tool**, track the number of tasks created, comments posted, time spent in projects, and logins per week. - If you offer a [**B2B analytics** platform](https://www.lindy.ai/blog/how-to-use-ai-in-business), focus on dashboard views, reports exported, the number of team invites sent, and custom metric creation. - For a **SaaS communication tool**, important events could be messages sent, channels created, active days per week, and integrations connected. Each event you pick should reflect value delivered or progress toward a customer's success. Skip superficial actions that don't lead to retention or usage expansion. ## How to Use Customer Engagement Score Once you've calculated the Customer Engagement Score, the next step is to **segment your users** based on their score. This makes it easier to personalize your messaging, prioritize your customer success efforts, and automate responses based on engagement level. #### Here's how you can segment: | Score Range | Engagement Level | What It Means | | ------------ | ------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------- | | 80 and above | Highly engaged | Users consistently use key features and get clear value. | | 50–79 | Moderately engaged | Users are active but haven't fully adopted core features. | | Below 50 | At-risk or inactive | Users have dropped off or barely use the product. | ### What to Do with Each Segment #### **1. Highly Engaged (80+)** These are your **power users**. They're the most likely to upgrade, refer others, or expand usage internally. Here are a few things you can do: - Send NPS surveys or review requests. - Introduce premium features or upsell plans. - Encourage referrals or testimonials. - Invite them to customer advisory boards or beta programs. - Use them as case study candidates. #### **2. Moderately Engaged (50–79)** These users are on the fence. They've seen some value, but may not be fully onboarded or using sticky features. For this segment: - [Trigger automated email sequences](https://www.lindy.ai/solutions/email) with feature tips or how-tos. - Offer webinars or product tours focused on deeper use cases. - Assign a success manager or send a personal check-in email. - Use in-app nudges to drive feature discovery. - Share stories of similar users who saw better results after full adoption. #### **3. At-Risk or Inactive (Below 50)** These users are disengaged and likely to churn unless reactivated soon. Here's what I suggest doing: - Send win-back campaigns highlighting new features or benefits. - Offer incentives (discounts, extra support, etc.) to re-engage. - Identify blockers like trigger surveys or exit interviews to learn why they've disengaged. - Use retargeting ads or in-app messages if they return briefly. - Reduce friction by simplifying setup or revisiting onboarding. ### Automate It Inside Your CRM or Product Stack Once these segments are in place, automate workflows based on score changes: 1. **Trigger alerts** for CS reps when scores drop below a threshold. 2. **Sync CES to your CRM** (like [HubSpot](https://www.lindy.ai/integrations/hubspot) or [Salesforce](https://www.lindy.ai/integrations/salesforce)) to update contact or account health. [**Lindy**](https://lindy.ai) works best for it. 3. **Automate playbooks** for each segment using tools like [Intercom](https://www.lindy.ai/integrations/intercom), [Customer.io](https://www.lindy.ai/integrations/intercom), or [Gainsight](https://www.lindy.ai/integrations/gainsight). 4. **Use score trends** (not just raw score) to spot slipping engagement before it becomes churn. Tracking is good. Acting on it is better. Automating it is best. ## How to Improve Customer Engagement Score with AI in 6 Steps If your Customer Engagement Score is low, it means users aren't getting enough value from your product, or not consistently. AI can help you fix that by automating personalized guidance, predicting churn, and reacting to user behavior in real time. Here's how to use AI to systematically improve CES across the user journey. ### Step 1: Kick Off Smarter Onboarding with AI-Driven Personalization Generic onboarding doesn't work for modern users. People have different roles, goals, and expectations. If they don't experience value in the first few days, they disengage. **How AI helps:** - Let [**Lindy**](https://lindy.ai) instantly [tailor onboarding](https://www.lindy.ai/integrations/onboarding) experiences based on user traits like role, company size, or product plan. For example, a Head of Ops might get guided tours focused on analytics, while a marketing user gets workflows tied to campaign tracking. - Lindy can auto-generate welcome messages, video walkthroughs, or quick setup tips tailored to where the user is stuck. - Pair that with **Appcues** or [**Intercom**](https://www.lindy.ai/integrations/intercom), and you can deliver these flows through email, live chat, or in-product modals, automatically triggered by user behavior. Like if a user signs up but doesn't complete integration setup within 24 hours, Lindy can step in with a smart email: _"Looks like you skipped the setup, most teams connect this by Day 2. Want a one-click walkthrough?"_ This gets users to value faster, and boosts early CES before it drops. ### Step 2: Turn Behavioral Data Into Feature Adoption Triggers You don't need every user to try every feature, you need them to adopt the **right features** that correlate with retention. **How AI helps:** - With [**Lindy**](https://lindy.ai), track what features your high-retention users rely on, and compare that with what a current user _hasn't_ used yet. - If the gap is clear, Lindy can send an in-app prompt, email, or video tip nudging the user toward that feature automatically. - Tools like **Pendo** and [**Amplitude Predict**](https://www.lindy.ai/integrations/amplitude) can also help score features based on how likely they are to improve retention, and time your nudges accordingly. For example, if top users regularly use "Team Collaboration Boards" and a current user hasn't even visited it, Lindy can say: _"Teams like yours boost output by 40% using shared boards. Want to set up your first one in 60 seconds?"_ This kind of timely, behavior-aware prompt dramatically increases meaningful engagement. ### Step 3: Reinforce Habits with AI-Timed Engagement Loops Habit formation drives retention. But sending the same weekly email to everyone doesn't build habits, it creates noise. **How AI helps:** - Lindy can learn individual usage patterns (e.g., user prefers weekends, logs in every Tuesday) and schedule reminders, summaries, or nudges _only_ when that user is likely to respond. - Lindy can also personalize the content, sending usage tips based on what features they've explored or missed. - [**Customer.io**](https://www.lindy.ai/integrations/customer-io) and [**HubSpot AI**](https://www.lindy.ai/integrations/hubspot) help adjust timing and message types based on past engagement data. For instance, if someone typically checks reports on Mondays but hasn't logged in, Lindy could send: _"Need help preparing this week's report? Here's a quick summary of last week's numbers, jump back in."_ The message hits at the right time _and_ with personalized relevance, both critical to forming habits. ### Step 4: Spot Declining Engagement Before It's Too Late Churn often comes after _weeks_ of slow drop-off. The problem? Most teams notice only when it's already too late. **How AI helps:** - Let [**Lindy**](https://lindy.ai) analyze usage patterns like decreasing logins, fewer actions, or ignored core features, and instantly flag when a user's engagement is slipping. - Based on the risk level, Lindy can launch a win-back campaign, offer proactive support, or even notify the sales or CS team for follow-up. - [**Gainsight**](https://www.lindy.ai/integrations/gainsight) and [**Totango**](https://www.lindy.ai/integrations/totango) offer AI-powered health scores that work well for account-level insights across enterprise users. Let's say a user drops from 3 logins/week to 1, and hasn't used a key feature in 10 days. Lindy might trigger: _"Noticed a dip in usage, can we help you get back on track? Here's a quick way to restart where you left off."_ This keeps users in the loop before they disengage completely. ### Step 5: Adjust the Product Experience Dynamically Users should never feel like your product isn't made for them. AI can make your UX flexible and context-aware, just like a real assistant would. **How AI helps:** - [**Lindy**](http://lindy.ai) can automatically adapt what content, dashboards, or tooltips a user sees based on their behavior or goals. If they're focused on reporting, don't distract them with onboarding tours for task management. - AI can hide irrelevant modules, highlight advanced features for power users, and adjust messaging across touchpoints. - Tools like **Mutiny** and **Drift** use AI to change messaging and layout dynamically, especially on the web or landing pages. For a user in a finance role who's consistently engaging with forecasting tools, Lindy might adjust their dashboard to feature advanced analytics while hiding beginner guides they no longer need. That level of in-app personalization boosts satisfaction and keeps CES high for experienced users. ### Step 6: Get Ahead of Support Issues, Before the User Complains Waiting for a user to open a support ticket means the frustration has already set in. AI lets you flip support from reactive to proactive. **How AI helps:** - Let [**Lindy**](https://lindy.ai) track repeated failed attempts, error messages, or patterns that suggest confusion, and trigger contextual tooltips, videos, or live chat. - Lindy can offer help _before_ the user gives up or reaches out, increasing the odds of recovery and reducing ticket volume. - **Intercom Fin** and [**Zendesk AI**](https://www.lindy.ai/integrations/zendesk) can supplement this by handling common questions instantly and escalating only when necessary. Like if a user tries to set up a feature three times unsuccessfully, Lindy might say: _"Looks like something isn't working the way it should. Want a step-by-step guide or 2-minute screen share?"_ This keeps frustration low and engagement intact, before it reflects in the score. ## What You Should Do Next If you're ready to make your Customer Engagement Score a core part of your growth strategy, here's exactly how to start: 1. **Identify Your 3–5 Most Critical Engagement Actions:** Look at your product analytics and determine which actions are most tied to retention and success, e.g., completing onboarding, using a core feature, inviting a teammate, or generating a report. 2. **Build a Weighted Scoring Model**: Assign weights to each action based on its importance. For example: - Logins = 2 points - Key feature use = 5 points - Team invite = 4 points - Inactivity = –3 points - You can build this model in a spreadsheet, CRM (like HubSpot or Salesforce), or analytics tool (like Mixpanel or Amplitude). 3. **Turn Scores into Automated Workflows:** Set thresholds (e.g., below 50 = at-risk, 50–80 = active, 80+ = highly engaged) and connect each to specific actions: - Low score? Trigger a re-engagement campaign or CS follow-up. - Moderate score? Nudge toward underused features. - High score? Offer an upsell, request a review, or push a referral. 4. **Measure What's Working, Then Improve:** Track how changes in CES relate to product usage, retention, and expansion. Adjust your weights, thresholds, and automation logic based on what actually drives results. 5. **Scale It with AI:** Want to automate the full process? - [**Lindy**](https://lindy.ai) can calculate scores, monitor changes in real time, and trigger personalized [outreach across email](https://www.lindy.ai/templates/crm-updater), chat, and in-app. - **Gainsight** and [**Totango**](https://www.lindy.ai/integrations/totango) can sync CES with health scores and automate CS playbooks. These platforms eliminate the need for manual tracking, so your engagement system runs 24/7. **Start simple. Automate fast. Scale as you go.** Don't take CES as just a metric. It's your engine for retention, growth, and customer success. ## Automate Your Customer Engagement Strategy with Lindy With [**Lindy**](https://lindy.ai), you can connect your Customer Engagement Score directly to real-time workflows, so engagement doesn't just get measured, it gets managed.

There is no universal formula — every company defines it based on its own product. The general approach is: **Engagement Score = (Weight1 × Action1) + (Weight2 × Action2) + …** Pick 3–5 behavioral events that correlate with retention (logins, core feature use, team invites, etc.), assign each a weight based on importance, and subtract points for negative signals like prolonged inactivity. Start simple and refine the weights over time as you see what actually predicts churn or expansion. ### Which events are most worth tracking in a CES model? Focus on value-driving actions: daily or weekly logins, use of your core "sticky" features, time spent in-app, and collaboration actions like inviting teammates. Avoid passive signals like opening a marketing email or visiting a pricing page — they don't reflect whether the user is actually getting value. Support tickets are context-dependent: one ticket may signal confusion (negative), but resolving it successfully may be a positive signal. ### How is CES different from NPS or Customer Health Score? CES is strictly behavioral — it measures what users _do_ inside your product. NPS measures sentiment (likelihood to recommend), which is subjective and lags behind behavior. Customer Health Score is broader: it can include CES plus NPS, billing status, support interactions, and contract signals. Think of CES as the behavioral engine inside a wider health scoring model, especially useful in product-led or usage-driven SaaS businesses. ### How often should I recalculate CES? For active SaaS products, recalculating daily or weekly works best, since engagement can shift quickly. For lower-frequency tools (monthly analytics, annual planning software), bi-weekly or monthly recalculation is fine. Automating the recalculation ensures your data is always current and your triggered workflows act on real behavior rather than stale snapshots. ### Should CES include negative signals like inactivity? Yes. Subtracting points for inactivity, skipped onboarding steps, or failed attempts gives a more accurate picture than a purely additive score. For example, –3 points for 7+ days of inactivity or –5 for incomplete onboarding catches at-risk users early, not just after they've already churned. ### Can CES be used for sales and upsell targeting? Absolutely. Users or accounts consistently scoring above 80 are your best candidates for upgrades, expansion seats, or enterprise contract conversations. Syncing CES to your CRM means sales and CS reps can prioritize high-engagement accounts without manual research, and automated playbooks can trigger upsell emails or referral prompts the moment a threshold is crossed. ### Can Lindy help automate CES-based workflows? Yes, and it's one of Lindy's stronger use cases. Lindy connects to [HubSpot](https://www.lindy.ai/integrations/hubspot?utm_source=lindy-ai-site&utm_medium=agent), [Salesforce](https://www.lindy.ai/integrations/salesforce?utm_source=lindy-ai-site&utm_medium=agent), [Intercom](https://www.lindy.ai/integrations/intercom?utm_source=lindy-ai-site&utm_medium=agent), [Slack](https://www.lindy.ai/integrations/slack?utm_source=lindy-ai-site&utm_medium=agent), and other tools in your stack. When a user's CES drops below a threshold, Lindy can automatically launch a re-engagement email sequence, notify the CS team in Slack, and update the CRM record — no manual monitoring required. When CES climbs above 80, it can trigger an upsell email or referral prompt. It's the automation layer between your scoring model and your go-to-market tools. ### How does Lindy compare to dedicated customer success platforms like Gainsight or Totango for CES? Gainsight and Totango are purpose-built for enterprise customer success teams and offer deep health scoring, renewal management, and CS playbook automation. If your primary need is a full CS platform with executive dashboards and dedicated CSM workflows, those tools are strong choices. Lindy is a better fit if you want cross-functional automation — connecting CES signals to email, Slack, calendar, and CRM without needing a dedicated CS platform. Many teams use Lindy alongside Gainsight or Totango rather than instead of them. You can [try Lindy free for 7 days](https://chat.lindy.ai/signup?utm_source=lindy-ai-site&utm_medium=agent) to see how it fits your stack. ### Is Lindy useful for smaller SaaS teams that don't have a dedicated CS function? Yes — this is actually where Lindy tends to shine. If you don't have a full CS team to manually monitor engagement dashboards, Lindy can act as the AI layer that watches for score drops, sends timely outreach, updates your CRM, and nudges users toward key features automatically. It replaces a lot of the manual work that would otherwise fall on a CS rep or growth manager. Plans start at $49.99/month after a [7-day free trial](https://chat.lindy.ai/signup?utm_source=lindy-ai-site&utm_medium=agent). ### What's a good CES benchmark to aim for? There is no universal benchmark — it depends entirely on your formula, product type, and user base. Once you define your scoring model, establish internal benchmarks by correlating CES ranges with actual outcomes: what score range do users who renew typically sit in? What score do churned users tend to have 30 days before canceling? Over time, those observed correlations become your benchmarks, which is more meaningful than any industry average. ## Lindy Next-Step Guide For Humans Reading This Article Use this guide after the article has answered the customer engagement score question.
