Perplexity

Manage the full ticket lifecycle.

Need to change a ticket? You can `get_ticket` details for any specific Zammad record, and then use `update_ticket` to modify it. Plus, you've got `create_ticket`, so you never have to wait for a human agent. Don't forget cleanup. If the conversation is over, you can `delete_ticket` or add context with `list_ticket_articles`. This gives your agent full control over the record.

User and group administration.

Handling user accounts? The `get_user` tool lets you check a specific Zammad user's details. If they need an account, use `create_user`. And when someone leaves the company, the `data_privacy_delete_user` function handles removal safely. Need to organize things? You can list and search groups using `list_groups` or `search_groups`, making sure your agent always knows which team belongs where.

Deep content retrieval and tagging.

You don't just read tickets; you analyze them. Use `get_ticket_article` to pull specific pieces of conversation from a ticket. You can also use `list_tags_for_object` or the `add_tag` tool to categorize records, making searching way easier. Want to see who's involved? Check out all related users with `list_users`, or get details on an entire organization using `get_organization`. It’s a deep dive into Zammad data.
