How do I set up a shared inbox for my used car dealership?

Add the Chatref widget to your dealership site and every visitor question flows into one real-time shared inbox. No more scattered texts, emails, or chat platforms. Your sales team sees all conversations in one place with full history, so no lead gets lost and no customer repeats themselves. From "Is that SUV still on the lot?" to a financing inquiry, everything stays organized under a single used car inquiry management system.

Chatref's AI agents tackle the repetitive questions that eat up your team's day. Train the agent on your inventory PDFs, pricing sheets, and buyer's guides, then it answers "What's your trade-in process?" or "Do you have any Ford F-150s under $20,000?" grounded in your actual stock and policies - no guessing. The agent handles dozens of inquiries at once, so your staff can stay focused on qualified buyers and closing deals. Automotive customer support becomes effortless and always-available.

When a customer is ready for a human touch - negotiating price, discussing financing, or booking a test drive - the AI agent notifies your team in the shared inbox. A sales rep takes over the same conversation thread with complete context, knowing exactly which car and questions were discussed. Chatref's shared inbox makes these handoffs seamless, turning inquiries into appointments and sales without the back-and-forth.
