How to set up knowledge base for egg freezing inquiry chat

You need a Chatref account (sign up at app.chatref.ai; every new account gets $50 in free credit, no card required). Gather your egg‑freezing information before you open the app:

• A list of questions your front desk answers daily: cost, insurance coverage, candidate age/health restrictions, medication protocols, success rates, appointment steps
• The specific pages on your website that describe egg freezing, pricing, financing, and FAQs
• Any PDF handouts or patient education sheets your practice already uses
• The contact fields you want to capture—typically name, phone, email, and reason for inquiry

If you’re new to using Chatref for fertility clinics, start with the Fertility Clinics overview to see how the platform fits your practice.

1. Add your egg‑freezing source material

Open your Chatref agent and go to the Knowledge Base tab. Upload or link your content:

• PDFs – patient guides, consent forms, medication sheets
• Web pages – point Chatref at your egg‑freezing service page, pricing page, and FAQ section. Use a sitemap or direct URL entry.
• Plain text – paste quick facts if you keep them in a notes file

Chatref reads everything you add and builds answers from it. No need to train or tag documents; the engine pulls answers directly from your content.

Aim for thorough, conversational material. For example, an FAQ about cost should explain the range, what’s included (monitoring, retrieval, storage), whether financing is available, and how a consultation provides an exact quote.

2. Turn on lead capture

Your egg‑freezing chat does more than answer questions—it can identify high‑intent visitors. In the Widget settings, enable Lead Capture. Customize the form that appears after a few messages (or immediately for certain questions). Typical fields:

• Full name
• Phone number
• Email address
• A short text box: “What would you like to know about egg freezing?”

All captured details appear in your Chatref Conversation Inbox. You can then pass them to your patient coordinator or CRM just as you would a web form reply.

3. Match the widget to your clinic’s branding

Stay on the Widget tab. Set your primary color to match your practice’s brand. Upload your clinic logo. This small step reassures patients they’re still talking to you, not to an anonymous bot.

Before the chat goes live, use the Playground to test typical egg‑freezing questions:

• “How much does egg freezing cost?”
  The answer should pull from your pricing page and mention that exact costs require a consultation. It must not invent a number.

• “Am I a good candidate at 37?”
  The agent should reference your patient criteria—age guidelines, ovarian reserve testing, medical history—and offer next steps.

• “Do you accept my insurance?”
  It should state which plans you accept (if any) and note that coverage varies; most clinics ask the patient to call their insurer.

• “What does the lead form capture?”
  Type a question that ends with a natural pause, then check whether the widget prompts for name and contact info. The conversation should flow smoothly without feeling pushy.

Also review the Conversation Inbox. Simulate a full chat from a patient, then check that the lead details appear in the inbox alongside the chat transcript.

Answers are too generic
The agent is only as specific as the documents you gave it. If a patient asks about egg freezing costs and the answer is vague, add a dedicated “Egg Freezing Pricing” page or PDF that breaks down the components. Avoid hiding details behind links; paste the content directly into a plain‑text source if needed.

Lead capture never appears
Check two things: (1) the Lead Capture toggle is on in the Widget settings, and (2) the trigger is set to a reasonable message count or keyword. If the form fires too early, patients feel rushed; too late, and they may leave before sharing details. Start with a 3‑message delay and adjust based on real chats.

The agent retrieves information about other services
If you added general fertility clinic content alongside egg‑freezing details, the agent might pull answers about IVF or donor eggs when a question is ambiguous. Separate content by topic—create a dedicated egg‑freezing source and keep broader clinic pages in a different source group if you manage multiple services.

Patients ask for guarantees the practice can’t give
Your knowledge base should never promise specific results. Frame success rates with context (“based on studies for women under 35”) and redirect to a physician consultation for personalized odds.

What causes egg freezing inquiry chat problems for Fertility Clinics?

Most problems come from incomplete or outdated content. If the chat answers with vague statements about “egg freezing in general” rather than your clinic’s actual process, you likely fed it a generic patient handout instead of your own intake forms, pricing sheet, and service details. Another common trigger: lead capture is disabled, so interested visitors never become follow‑up tasks. Finally, mismatched branding (a generic widget) can make patients doubt they’re speaking with your practice.

How do I improve egg freezing inquiry chat for Fertility Clinics?

Start by auditing the content you uploaded. Add missing pages: step‑by‑step treatment timelines, insurance verification steps, pre‑visit instructions, and a direct answer to “Why choose our clinic?”. Turn on lead capture so every conversation produces a record your staff can act on. After a week, check the Insights tab to see which questions patients ask most often, then bulk up those topics. Schedule a monthly review—services, pricing, or staff information change, and your knowledge base should follow.
