Chatref’s website widget delivers 24/7 email marketing support by connecting your knowledge base to a chat widget that answers questions at any hour. Add one code snippet to your site, and your customers in any time zone get instant, accurate help grounded in your own docs – no extra hiring required.
What connects to what
Your email marketing support content connects to a chat widget that runs around the clock. Upload your help guides, campaign FAQs, and template walkthroughs to Chatref’s knowledge base. That content powers an AI agent you embed on your site via a single snippet. When customers in different time zones ask about list imports, automation rules, or delivery issues, the widget responds instantly from your material – no human touch needed. For non-English users, enable multilingual support to serve answers in up to 11 languages, all from the same set of docs. This setup ensures your email marketing support scales across time zones without adding staff. For a deeper look at setting up industry-specific support, see Email Marketing Support.
How to set it up
- Prepare your knowledge base: Gather your email marketing support materials – setup guides, campaign how-tos, and deliverability FAQs. Upload PDFs, point to your help site URLs, or paste plain text. Chatref processes these to answer future questions from your content, not generic guesses.
- Configure the widget agent: In Chatref, create an agent for email marketing support. Set its brand voice and primary color to match your site. Choose the languages your users need (up to 11). This step ensures the widget speaks in your tone and covers your global audience – one set of docs powers answers across all regions.
- Embed the widget: Copy the snippet from your Chatref dashboard. Paste it into the
<head>of your website or application. The widget appears on all pages where the snippet is present, giving users a consistent help channel at any hour. - Test across time zones: Use the live playground to simulate questions at different hours and in different languages. Verify that the correct information surfaces and that language auto-detection works if you enabled it. Check that answers are fast (most respond within seconds) and accurate against your source content.
No subscriptions or per-agent fees – you pay only for the responses used, so idle hours cost nothing. Your account includes all features, so you can adjust language settings or add more agents as needed.
What users see
Customers on any device, at any hour, see a chat bubble in your site’s corner. Typing a question like “How do I set up an A/B test?” fetches a reply within seconds, sourced from your knowledge base. The widget is custom-branded, so it feels like a native part of your support. If a query needs human handoff (e.g., a billing issue), the conversation passes to your team with full context, so no one repeats themselves. For multilingual email marketing support, users see answers in their preferred language automatically – they ask a question in Spanish, and the widget replies in Spanish from your uploaded docs.
Troubleshooting
- Widget not appearing: Check the snippet placement – it must be in the
<head>and not blocked by ad blockers or content security policies. Confirm your domain is allowlisted in Chatref settings, as the widget only loads on approved domains. - Missing time zone coverage: Confirm multilingual is enabled and that your targeted languages are added. For 24/7 coverage, verify your knowledge base has answers for common after-hours queries like campaign delays or bounce handling. If users in certain regions still don’t get help, add docs that cover their local email compliance rules.
- Incorrect answers: Review your uploaded content for gaps. Add missing topics (e.g., DMARC setup, list segmentation) and reprocess the knowledge base. Answers are only as good as the source – include troubleshooting guides for frequent issues like authentication failures or sending limits.
- Slow response times: This can happen during high-volume periods. Chatref scales automatically, but check your credit balance to ensure you have enough for peak usage. Consider uploading lighter content sets if processing large files.
