Integration
How does Chatref integrate with law firm CRM systems?
Chatref connects to law firm CRM systems through lead-capture and custom-actions, automatically sending new client data and conversation details to your platform via webhook or API. The shared inbox and conversation-tags keep your team in the loop, eliminating the need for manual copy-pasting and ensuring every interaction is logged.
Seamless Data Flow from Chat to CRM
Chatref’s lead-capture collects visitor names, contact details, and matter types right inside the chat. When a potential client reaches out, you can fire a custom-action that pushes that data straight into your law firm CRM software – no manual typing required. This means new inquiries instantly become CRM records, ready for your intake process.
Automating Client Intake with Lead-Capture and Custom-Actions
Stop spending hours transferring chat conversations into your best legal CRM tools. With custom-actions, you define exactly what happens when a lead completes a chat – for example, creating a contact and associating it with a practice area tag. Because each custom-action can call an external API, you can integrate Chatref with CRM workflows that already run your firm, regardless of which platform you use.
Human Oversight via Shared Inbox and Conversation Tags
Even as you automate law firm client data, the shared inbox ensures that attorneys or paralegals can step in live whenever a chat needs a human touch. Conversation-tags automatically categorise requests by matter type, urgency, or client status, so your team sees the full context before taking over. Manual data entry shrinks because every chat is already linked to the CRM through the custom-action pipeline.
Step-by-Step: Connecting Chatref to Your Law Firm’s CRM
- Configure lead-capture fields in your Chatref agent to collect the details your CRM expects.
- Create a custom-action that triggers when those fields are filled – this defines the webhook endpoint or API call to your CRM.
- Set conversation-tags to label each chat (e.g. “new-consultation”, “real-estate”) so records land in the right CRM pipeline.
- Monitor the shared inbox to review and pick up conversations that need human attention.
No per-seat fees or monthly plans lock you in; you only pay for the chatbot responses you use, making it easy to start small and scale.
