Loved by support teams
CRM teams, scaling support without scaling admins.
How CRM platforms use Chatref to answer setup, import, and permission questions before they reach the team.
Chatref took over the import and field-mapping questions that used to fill our queue. Our admins finally spend their time on the migrations that actually need a person.
New customers used to wait a day for setup help. Now they configure pipelines on their own and reach their first deal the same day.
It answers permission and role questions from our own docs, in our own voice. Most admins cannot tell it apart from the team.
of setup and import questions answered before they reach an admin
One agent covers our EU and US accounts in their own language, so we retired the after-hours import desk for good.
Will Chatref give wrong answers about payroll?
Chatref only answers from your own approved content. If it can't resolve a query, it hands off to a human with full context.
Is automating payroll support risky for compliance?
Chatref works alongside your team – it only handles what you train it to, and escalates sensitive cases.
We use Zendesk – why add Chatref?
Chatref embeds in your site and works with Zendesk, keeping all your workflows intact.
Can it handle payroll questions in different languages?
Chatref answers in the user’s language using your translated content. One widget covers every region.
Will it invent answers about our payroll?
No. It only uses your own help docs and guides – never guesses or makes things up.
Is it just a search box in a chat window?
No. It gives instant answers and can take action – like resetting passwords or updating permissions – right inside the chat.
Can it handle our payroll’s unique rules?
Yes. Upload your setup docs and permission guides. It answers only from that content and escalates complex cases to a human.
Does it replace our support team?
No. It deflects repeat questions so your team can focus on the cases that need a person.
How long does setup take?
Most teams go live in under an hour. Add your content, drop in one snippet, and you’re done – no training or coding required.
What if our payroll docs are outdated?
It only uses what you give it. When you update your docs, it uses the new content immediately – you stay in control.
How do we know what users are asking?
It sends a weekly insights email. It shows the top questions, where your docs are weak, and what to fix next.
Does it charge per agent seat?
No. You pay based on usage – not per seat. Scale support without your bill growing with every new hire.
