How do I set up lead capture for family law?

Add a single snippet of code to your family law pages. The widget sits in the corner, ready to greet visitors. No developer setup beyond pasting that snippet - Chatref handles the rest.

Give the agent your client intake forms, PDFs, practice area pages, and any other documents that explain your services. The agent answers from your own content, no guessing. When a potential client asks about custody, divorce or spousal support, the reply is grounded in your actual materials. This builds trust and keeps conversations on track.

Inside the agent settings, turn on lead capture. The widget will ask for name, email, phone, and a brief description of the issue - all within the chat flow. You can customize which fields are required. Every captured lead appears in your Chatref inbox with the full conversation history, so you know exactly what the visitor was looking for.

Use custom actions to send lead data to your practice management software, email list, or a Google Sheet. When the lead capture form completes, Chatref can fire a webhook or API call that creates a new contact in your system. That way, new inquiries move straight into your intake pipeline without manual data entry.

What are the best practices for setting up lead capture in family law?
Start by embedding the widget on high-intent pages like your divorce, custody, and consultation scheduling pages. Train the agent with plain-language answers that match the emotional tone of family law clients. Make the lead capture form short - name, email, phone, and a brief description - and place it after the agent provides a helpful answer, not before. Test the flow to ensure the agent stays empathetic and never gives legal advice.

How can I automate client intake forms?
With Chatref, you feed the agent your current intake forms as training documents. The agent can ask the same questions conversationally, step by step, capturing answers as lead fields. Then, custom actions push those details to your CRM, practice management tool, or a simple spreadsheet. No code needed, just a webhook URL.

What information should I collect from potential clients?
Collect name, email, phone, and the nature of the legal matter (e.g., divorce, child custody). Optionally, ask for preferred contact method and urgency. Keep it minimal - every extra field reduces conversion. The chat itself already gives context, so you don't need to recreate full intake details in the lead form.

How do I track website visitors interested in family law services?
Chatref's lead capture and session analytics let you see which pages visitors viewed before starting a chat, what they asked, and whether they became a captured lead. The conversation inbox shows each visitor's path, so you can identify the content that triggers the most inquiries and adjust your agent's training accordingly.

Can I integrate lead capture with my existing legal software?
Yes. Custom actions let you connect Chatref to any tool that accepts webhooks. When a lead is captured, the agent can POST the data to Clio, MyCase, PracticePanther, or a custom intake endpoint. If your software has a public API, the integration takes minutes to set up.
