Perplexity

Update CRM records inside Claude Desktop

The `create_contact` tool lets your agent add new leads to your CRM directly from your chat window. You feed Claude Desktop the raw chat transcript or an email draft, and it extracts the details to populate the fields immediately. For existing records, the agent calls `get_contact` or `list_contacts` to pull up history before you write a reply. This setup keeps your database clean without making you copy-paste names manually.

Track deals using this GoHighLevel MCP Server

The `list_pipelines` tool exposes your entire sales board directly to your agent. When a deal moves forward, the agent calls `list_opportunities` to pinpoint exactly where the bottleneck lies in your active sales cycles. You get a clear picture of your pipeline value without clicking through the web dashboard. This integration turns raw CRM data into clean text lists right inside your workspace.

Dispatch messaging and check active campaigns

The `send_message` tool lets you dispatch SMS or email follow-ups straight from your active chat. Your agent pulls context from `list_conversations` to draft a highly specific reply, then fires it off on command. To keep leads warm, the agent queries `list_campaigns` and `list_forms` to see which drip sequence or signup page fits the lead. You run your outreach campaigns entirely through this MCP configuration.
