Perplexity

Manage contact records programmatically.

Start by listing all contacts with `list_contacts` to verify the scope of your user base. You can fetch individual details using `get_contact`, or modify attributes directly via `update_contact`. This makes writing client-facing code much cleaner. Cline executes these calls, allowing you to write tests that confirm data integrity before deployment.

Scripting message sends and broadcasts.

You can build functions that trigger messages. For bulk outreach, the `list_broadcasts` tool helps gather necessary IDs. To execute a message send, you'll use specialized calls like `send_template_message` or `send_media_message`. Cline handles the asynchronous nature of these API interactions. This means writing code that sends messages at scale is straightforward.

Handling message templates and history.

Need to interact with existing copy? Call `list_templates` or grab specifics using `get_template`. For historical context, you'll use `list_messages` and `send_session_message`. Cline makes sure your code correctly formats these calls. It’s powerful because you can write a function that fetches the template details first, then sends it, all in one file.
