The Chatref website widget connects to a knowledge base that holds your clinic’s CPAP resupply content. You build that knowledge base by uploading PDFs, text, or URLs describing your resupply policies, insurance coverage, order instructions, and any required forms. When a patient asks a question in the widget, Chatref retrieves and answers only from that content — no guessing and no searching the open internet. For more on how this fits into a sleep clinic’s daily operations, see Sleep Clinics.

1. Gather your resupply resources
   Collect everything patients need to know: your eligibility requirements, a list of accepted insurance plans, the step-by-step ordering process, links to forms (PDFs), and answers to frequent refill questions. Save them as clean PDF files or copy the text into plain notes.

2. Create a Chatref account and build the agent
   Sign up at app.chatref.ai — every new account comes with $50 in free credit, no credit card required. Create a new agent (name it “CPAP Resupply Help” or similar) and open its knowledge base.

3. Upload your content
   Add your resupply documents by uploading the PDFs or pasting URLs to your practice’s resupply pages. Chatref will process them and learn the information. The more direct and specific the content, the better the answers.

4. Configure the widget
   In the agent’s widget settings, set your clinic’s primary color and upload your logo so the widget feels like a trusted part of your site. Copy the embed snippet (a small JavaScript tag).

5. Paste the snippet on your site
   Place the snippet right before the closing </body> tag on every page where you want the chat to appear — typically your main website and any patient portal. If you use a CMS like WordPress, you can add it in the theme footer or a custom HTML block. In Chatref, add your website domain to the agent’s allowed origins so the widget works only on your site.

6. Test and refine
   Open your site, click the chat bubble, and ask “How do I reorder my CPAP supplies?” or “Will my insurance cover a new mask?”. The widget should answer from your uploaded content. If it doesn’t, double-check the knowledge base and try again.

A small, branded chat bubble appears in the corner of your practice website. A patient clicks it and a conversation window opens. They type “I’m almost out of tubing — what’s my next step?” and the widget replies with an answer built entirely from your clinic’s content. For example, the reply might say: “To reorder, complete the request form at [link]. We verify your insurance eligibility, and if your plan covers the supplies, they typically ship within 2-3 business days.” The answer can include links to your forms or a phone number for edge cases.

The widget is available around the clock — even at 11 p.m. on a Saturday, a patient gets a clear answer instead of leaving a voicemail. The branding (your color and logo) makes it instantly recognizable as part of your clinic, not a third-party tool.

• Widget doesn’t appear
  Confirm the snippet is placed correctly and that your site’s domain is listed in the agent’s allowed origins. Some ad-blockers or strict browser privacy settings can hide the widget — test on a clean browser first.

• Answers are vague or off-topic
  The widget relies entirely on the content you upload. If you uploaded a single PDF that briefly mentions resupply, the answers will be thin. Create a dedicated document that spells out every step, eligibility rule, and common scenario. Retrain the knowledge base by removing and re-uploading the refined content.

• Answers mix in unrelated clinic info
  If your knowledge base contains general practice details (hours, locations) alongside resupply content, the agent might pull from the wrong source. Isolate the resupply documents in a separate knowledge base source or agent to keep answers focused.

• Patients ask a question you didn’t cover
  Monitor the conversation inbox inside Chatref to spot the missing queries, then add answers to your uploaded documents. As patients interact, the agent will naturally cover more ground.

• Widget loads slowly
  The snippet loads asynchronously and shouldn’t slow your page, but a very slow site can delay its appearance. Address any underlying hosting or caching issues on your website.

What causes cpap resupply request intake problems for Sleep Clinics?

High call volume for routine refill questions overwhelms front desk staff, leading to long hold times, dropped calls, and voicemails that don’t get returned until the next business day. Patients who can’t reach the clinic after hours often delay or miss refills, while staff repeat the same instructions over and over — creating bottlenecks and patient frustration.
