How do I integrate Chatref with my realtor CRM?

Manually copying chat leads into your CRM eats time and risks data loss. By integrating Chatref with your CRM, every new contact, property inquiry, or showing request flows into your pipeline automatically. Your agents then see a complete conversation history in the shared-inbox before following up, so they never start a call cold. This CRM integration for realtors turns your website chat from a basic widget into a lead-qualification engine that works around the clock.

Chatref’s custom-actions let the AI agent collect exactly the data your CRM needs and send it to your system right inside the chat.

1. In the Chatref agent builder, create a new custom-action.
2. Name it something like “Capture Lead” and define the fields you want: name, email, phone, property type, message.
3. Choose the trigger: when a visitor asks about a listing, appraisal, or sends a generic inquiry.
4. Add a webhook step – paste your CRM’s incoming webhook URL or use a Zapier webhook to connect to platforms like Follow Up Boss, kvCORE, LionDesk, or Chime.
5. Test the action and publish the agent. Now every lead captured in chat flows into your CRM automatically.

The custom-action fires mid-conversation, so the AI agent can qualify the lead before the handoff, ensuring your CRM only gets warm, ready-to-nurture contacts.

Not every lead will convert in one chat session. The shared-inbox allows your agents to review every AI-handled conversation, jump in at any point, and take over the thread with full context. When a lead asks a detailed financing question or requests a private showing, a human can respond directly from the inbox, and all subsequent notes can be logged to the CRM manually or via another custom-action. This keeps the entire team aligned without switching between tabs.

1. Sign up for Chatref (no credit card, $50 free credit) and create your real estate agent.
2. Upload your property docs, FAQs, and agent profiles so the AI can answer accurately.
3. Set up a custom-action that captures lead details and sends them to your CRM’s webhook endpoint (or through Zapier).
4. Add the Chatref widget snippet to your listings site.
5. Invite your team to the shared-inbox so everyone sees incoming conversations and can take over when needed.
6. Monitor the insights dashboard to see which questions come up most often and refine your agent’s training content.

No per-seat fees, no monthly plans – you only pay for the responses your agent handles.
