# External CSAT
> This API enables Organizations to import external customer satisfaction surveys (CSAT) into the CommBox platform, attaching them to existing conversations and tagging the conversation appropriately.
You'll need to open a designated channel in the Customer Satisfaction Survey Module. The channel ID will be the value for the `surveyStreamId` parameter in the API request. Click [here](https://help.commbox.io/docs/external-csat-api) to learn more.
**Note:**
- The example below is for a single-question survey. Multiple-question arrays are also supported.
- The first answer always represents the highest satisfaction score (**100%**), while the last answer represents the lowest satisfaction score (**0%**). Scores for intermediate answers are distributed evenly between these values.

Objects are conversations between the AI Agent or the human agent and the customers, where each segment of the conversation is referred to as a Child. Every conversation must have a designated Stream – a communication channel such as Chat, Email, Text/SMS, etc., through which the conversation takes place.
The Object APIs category concentrates on a specific conversation, where the Stream is part of the identifying parameters. In contrast, the Streams APIs category, the Channel is the focal point of the request, and the objects and users are the filtering aspects."

CommBox facilitates activities in **WABA** for the clients. Our platform helps clients create new templates and manage existing ones.
**Opt-in for WhatsApp**
Before sending WhatsApp messages to someone, you must first receive opt-in permission confirming that they wish to receive future messages from you on WhatsApp. This can be done using any channel your business uses to communicate with people — your website, app, email, retail location, etc.- The opt-in must be an active opt-in, which means it must be triggered by a user action, such as entering a phone number or checking a box to indicate consent.
- The opt-in must clearly state your business’ name.
- Clear opt-in messaging so that the customers know what type(s) of messaging they are signing up for.
