How does Chatref capture leads from communication tool chats?
Chatref captures leads from communication tool chats by using custom actions to ask for contact details and qualifying info right when interest peaks. The lead appears instantly in the shared inbox for your sales team to continue, while insights track the source and conversation topics that generate the warmest leads.
Capture Lead Details with Custom Actions
Set up custom actions inside Chatref to prompt for an email, company name, or use case at the right moment. Instead of a dead contact form, the chatbot collects what you need without breaking the conversation flow. The result: every lead comes with context your team can act on.
Hand Off Warm Leads to Sales via Shared Inbox
As soon as a lead is captured, the conversation appears in Chatref’s shared inbox. Your human agents see the full chat history, the details collected, and any qualifying information. They can take over the thread directly, making communication tool conversions feel seamless.
Track Lead Sources and Quality with Insights
Chatref’s insights give you a clear view of which channels and chat topics drive the most warm leads. Conversation tags automatically label inbound chats by source, product interest, or intent signal. You can then double down on what works and refine your capture prompts.
Convert More Chats with Continuous Optimization
Review the questions that frequently precede a lead capture. Adjust your bot’s custom actions to ask for information earlier or follow a high-value answer with a lead prompt. Over time, you turn more support conversations into warm pipeline without increasing headcount.
