Can I see if a client has opened my proposal using the agent?

Yes! Use the `get_proposal` tool with the Proposal ID. Your agent will fetch the latest status, which includes whether the proposal has been viewed, signed, or paid.

How do I list all my saved proposal templates?

Simply ask the agent to `list_templates`. It will retrieve all the proposal templates available in your account for you to review and use.

Does the integration allow me to create a new contact?

Yes! Use the `create_contact` action with the name and email. Your agent will register the new contact in your Better Proposals CRM instantly.
