Integrating a support tool with your trading platform can be straightforward. Chatref’s embeddable widget, grounded AI agents, and custom actions let you connect helpdesk functionality directly into your trading interface, providing unified trader assistance without complex development.

Integrate Support Inside Your Trading Software

Traders need answers fast without leaving the platform. Chatref’s widget drops into your application with a single snippet, so your team can offer help right where users work. The assistant draws from your own trading documentation, trade desk policies, and platform FAQs, ensuring every response is accurate and relevant.

You avoid disrupting the trading workflow because the AI agent resolves common questions about order types, margin rules, or settlement times directly in the chat. When a question goes beyond the docs, custom actions collect the necessary details and trigger your internal tools for human follow-up.

Set Up Custom Actions for Trader Workflows

Many trading platforms already use internal systems for account lookups, ticket creation, and trade reviews. Chatref’s custom actions let you wire these directly into the chat. For example, you can build an action that fetches an account balance, retrieves open positions, or creates a support ticket, all triggered by the agent during a conversation.

This moves beyond passive FAQ responses and provides real-time unified trader assistance. You configure actions in a no-code interface so support teams can add new wizards without developer hours. Because Chatref works on a pay-as-you-go model, you only incur cost when an action runs, keeping expenses aligned with actual support volume.

Onboard Fast and Scale as You Grow

The onboarding experience is built to get your team live quickly. Chatref guides you through importing your existing help center content, configuring the widget’s look to match your brand, and testing the agent in a live playground. The onboarding flow also helps you set up that first custom action, so you see value within hours.

Since you pay only for usage, there is no pressure to predict seat counts or monthly minimums. Trading support often spikes during market volatility; you simply top up your prepaid balance as needed. Every new account comes with $50 free credit, so you can try the full integration without any commitment.

How Unified Assistance Benefits Your Trading Desk

Unifying support tools inside your trading platform gives operators a complete view of trader interactions. Chatref’s shared inbox lets your team see every conversation along with its full context, so handoffs between the AI agent and human staff are seamless. You also gain insight dashboards that highlight trending questions, allowing you to continuously refine your knowledge base.

Because all features are included on every account, you can launch multiple agents for different trading products, teams, or regions without extra fees. The widget stays active even when you step away, providing 24/7 assistance from the same set of content.
