Object types used in Einstein Recommendation builder
Einstein recommendations rely on three distinct types of Salesforce objects:
- Recommended Items Object: This repository houses the records slated for recommendation. For instance, the ‘Product’ object can be used to store various loan products offered by a mortgage firm like VA, Conventional, FHA etc. These can be recommended to the Recipient object ‘Contact’.

- Recipient Object: This object encompasses the records designated to receive the recommendations. For instance, if loan products recommended to a Contact would be stored in the Contact object.
