Customer satisfaction score (CSAT)

Updated November 10, 2026

Definition

CSAT: The share of rated support conversations in which the customer chose a positive rating, usually collected with a one-question survey after a request is resolved.

Also called customer satisfaction score, support satisfaction.

CSAT is typically calculated as positive ratings divided by all ratings received. With B2B accounts the number of responses is small, so look at individual low ratings and the account behind them rather than small swings in the percentage.

In shared Slack channels, keep the ask lightweight: one question after a request is resolved, in the same thread, and never more than once per request. Response rate matters as much as the score; if only unhappy customers answer, the number will mislead you.
