Setup
How do I set up Chatref for my real estate franchise CRM?
To set up Chatref for your real estate franchise CRM, start a free account at app.chatref.ai, upload your CRM documentation, configure an AI agent, embed the website widget, and set up custom actions. With $50 in free credit (no credit card needed), you can test the full system before paying a cent, paying only for the responses you use.
Upload Your CRM Training Documents
Head to app.chatref.ai, then add your real estate franchise CRM documentation as PDFs, help center URLs, sitemaps, or plain text. Chatref uses this material to ground every agent response in your actual policies, property details, and lease forms – no internet search guessing. The knowledge base stays yours forever; credit never expires and you can update it anytime.
Configure and Customize Your AI Agent
Create an unlimited number of AI agents directly from your dashboard – one for each branch or brand, all on the same pay-as-you-go credit balance. Set the agent name, greeting, and primary color to match your franchise identity. In the agent settings, enable custom actions so your bot can pull account info or schedule showings right from the CRM. Test the agent instantly in the playground before going live.
Embed the Chatref Widget in Your CRM Platform
Grab the one-line snippet from the agent’s embed settings. Paste it into your CRM’s site-wide template, a custom HTML block, or any page where you want the widget to appear. The snippet is origin-allowlisted to keep your CRM secure. Once live, visitors see the chat bubble and get answers grounded in your own documents, deflecting repeat questions while you handle complex transactions.
Set Up Custom Actions for Automated Workflows
Use custom actions to let the AI agent collect lead details, trigger appointment bookings, or fetch property availability directly inside the chat. Configure each action in the agent builder – no code required. Every captured lead lands in your inbox with full session context, so your team can follow up without leaving the conversation.
