Perplexity

Write code to manage customer records.

You can write a script that pulls client data, checks for existing accounts using `get_customer_by_reference`, and then creates new ones with `create_customer` if they don't exist. It handles the entire record creation flow. Need to change something specific? You could use your agent to update details via `update_customer` or manage their billing contacts by calling `update_contact_person`. The execution is fully contained in your workspace.

Build scripts for quoting and invoicing.

When a sale comes through, you can write a job that first generates the initial pricing structure using `create_estimate`. You'll then pull that data into a final bill by calling `create_invoice`. The script doesn't stop there. It lets you define addons or coupons and associate them before running the final payment step, all in one terminal run.

Develop automated billing cleanup jobs.

For nightly maintenance, your code can list old records using `list_invoices`. Then, it executes a write-off procedure by calling `writeoff_invoice` or clearing out payment details with `delete_payment`. If an addon is deprecated, you can automate the deactivation process using `mark_addon_inactive`, ensuring your system state matches your current business logic.
