Satisfaction & NPS Surveys

Conduct periodic customer satisfaction surveys to benchmark NPS, identify service pain points, and drive continuous improvement.

Why this matters

Keep customers informed and engaged with automated outage updates, smart meter enrollment, conservation alerts, and satisfaction surveys. This example shows you how to automate satisfaction & nps surveys calls end-to-end with Guava's SDK — no telephony plumbing, no prompt engineering, just Python.

Running the agent
Step 01

Installation

Install from Guava's private PyPI index. A public package is coming soon — the install command will simplify to pip install guava.

terminal
# Step 1: Install Guava
pip install gridspace-guava --extra-index-url https://guava-pypi.gridspace.com

# Public PyPI package coming soon — the install command will simplify to:
# pip install guava

# Step 2: Set your credentials
export GUAVA_API_KEY="..."
export GUAVA_AGENT_NUMBER="..."
Step 02

How it's built

Every Guava agent is a Python class. Walk through the key sections below, then grab the complete file at the end.

01

Imports

Import the Guava SDK and any helpers you need. guava.CallController is the base class for every voice agent.

example.py
# Install: pip install gridspace-guava --extra-index-url https://guava-pypi.gridspace.com
import guava
import os

Agent setup

set_persona() defines how the agent presents itself. set_task() gives it its mission in plain English. The checklist drives the conversation — Guava works through it top-to-bottom, collecting Field values and speaking Say items as it goes.

example.py
class UtilityNPSSurveyBot(guava.CallController):
    def __init__(self, account_name: str, utility_name: str, recent_interaction: str):
        super().__init__()
        self.set_persona(
            organization_name=f"{utility_name} Customer Experience",
            agent_name="Avery",
        )
        self.set_task(
            objective=f"Conduct satisfaction survey with {account_name} following {recent_interaction}",
            checklist=[
                f"Thank {account_name} for being a {utility_name} customer and ask for 60 seconds.",
                guava.Field(
                    key="nps_score",
                    field_type="rating",
                    description=f"Likelihood to recommend {utility_name} (0-10)",
                ),
                guava.Field(
                    key="recent_interaction_rating",

                ),

                ),
                guava.Field(
                    key="ok_to_follow_up",
                    field_type="bool",
                    description="May a customer experience team member follow up on this feedback?",
                ),
                "Thank the customer and provide customer care number for any immediate needs.",
            ],
            on_complete=lambda fields: print(f"NPS survey: {account_name} score={fields.get('nps_score')}"),
