Feature Use Case
How can I get help with the loyalty program at a pet supply store?
You can get help with your pet supply store's loyalty program by using Chatref's custom actions and conversation tags. Custom actions allow your AI agent to answer questions about point balances, redemption rules, and rewards directly within the chat, while conversation tags automatically organize loyalty-related conversations so your team can track common issues and measure support demand.
Automate loyalty program support with custom actions
Custom actions let your Chatref agent handle loyalty tasks without human intervention. When a customer asks about points or rewards, the agent can verify their identity, check their balance, or guide them through a redemption right in the chat widget. This works because the agent is grounded in your own loyalty program docs – not generic guesses – so every answer matches your actual rules.
To deliver that level of loyalty program support, upload your points policy, reward catalog, and any membership terms to Chatref. Then create custom actions that connect to your store's backend or simply display predefined information. For example, an action can collect a customer’s email, look up their current point balance, and return it instantly. Another action can walk them through how to use pet supply store rewards during checkout. This reduces repetitive inquiries and lets your team focus on more complex customer needs.
Organize loyalty conversations with tags
Conversation tags help you see and sort every loyalty-related chat automatically. With tags, you don’t need to manually scan the shared inbox for reward questions – Chatref can apply labels like "loyalty-balance," "points-redemption," or "rewards-eligibility" based on the topic or keyword. Over time, you can filter by tag to spot trends, identify confusing parts of your program, and improve your support materials.
Tagging also helps you measure how often customers ask about earning rules versus redemption limits. For example, if the "points-expiry" tag spikes, you might add a clearer FAQ on your site. All of this happens inside Chatref, with no extra setup for your team. The outcome is a cleaner support queue and better insight into how your pet supply store rewards program is being used.
Set up loyalty program support in Chatref
Getting started takes just a few steps:
- Upload your loyalty program documents – point earning rules, redemption instructions, membership tiers, and any PDFs that define how the program works.
- Build custom actions – define an action that asks for the customer’s member ID or email, then returns their current points from your system. Add actions for reward selection and redemption confirmations.
- Configure conversation tags – set up automatic tagging rules for keywords like “points,” “balance,” “redeem,” or “rewards.” You can also manually tag chats from the inbox.
- Test in the Chatref playground – simulate common loyalty questions to confirm the agent answers correctly and the tags fire as expected. Then embed the widget on your store site.
Everything runs on Chatref’s pay-as-you-go model: you get $50 in free credit when you sign up, all features are included (no per-bot fees, no paywall on branding), and credit never expires.
