How companies use Chatref to deflect routine wellness questions before they reach HR.
Open enrollment used to mean 200+ emails a week for our HR team. Chatref deflects the routine eligibility and enrollment questions before they're ever sent. Our inbox volume during enrollment dropped by more than half.
HR now uses the shared inbox only for genuine escalations. Everything routine is handled by Chatref before it ever becomes an email.
We can see exactly which questions were deflected and which needed human follow-up. The data makes every enrollment cycle sharper.

The shared inbox integration means our team sees every escalation with full context. Complex cases get handled faster because the routine ones never arrive.
How much of our wellness email volume can Chatref deflect?
Routine questions — eligibility, enrollment steps, incentive rules, deadlines — typically account for 70–80% of wellness HR emails and are all self-serviceable.
What happens to questions that Chatref can't answer?
They appear in the shared inbox with full conversation context so HR handles them with everything they need already visible.
How does Chatref know when to escalate vs. self-serve?
It self-serves anything covered in your program content. Anything outside that scope — accommodation requests, disputes — gets escalated automatically.
Can I measure how much email volume Chatref deflects?
Yes. The insights dashboard shows resolved conversations vs. escalations so you can track deflection rate over every enrollment cycle.
How long until we see a reduction in inbox volume?
Most teams see a meaningful drop the first week after the widget goes live on the wellness portal.
