Perplexity

Monitor recent activity across all Zoho CRM records.

The `zoho_list_records` tool shows you what's happening in the backend, right now. You can pull recent data from any module—Leads, Contacts, Deals, Accounts, etc.—and stream that list directly into your UI component. This is perfect for showing a user activity feed without hitting a loading spinner. When the AI client calls this tool, you get a sorted list of records by modification date, which you can display live as it streams in.

Create new qualified contacts and link them to companies.

Need to add a customer or partner? Use `zoho_create_contact` to build a record with name, email, phone, and required last name. Crucially, you must also provide the `Account_Name`, which links that contact to an existing company in your CRM. This prevents orphaned data records. Your AI client can run this tool, and you immediately stream back the confirmation of the new individual record appearing in the system.

Search for specific customer or prospect details.

Finding a person's current info is simple with `zoho_search_contacts`. This tool checks by name or email and returns vital data like phone number, linked account ID, and owner. It’s designed to surface converted prospects—people who aren't just leads. When your user asks about an existing customer, this function pulls the necessary details and streams them back for instant display in your app.
