Perplexity

Build pipeline management scripts

When writing a script to process sales data, you need to check existing opportunities. The `zoho_search_deals` tool lets you pull deal name, stage, amount, and closing date for specific accounts. You can then use that structured output to calculate expected revenue or flag deals needing attention.

Enrich company data programmatically

If your app needs a definitive list of companies, the `zoho_search_accounts` tool gets you the account name, industry, website, phone, annual revenue, and owner. You can write code that iterates over these results to validate external data sources against internal records.

Log interaction history into a database

Instead of relying on manual input, your agent should log all activity. The `zoho_create_note` tool lets you write meeting summaries or call notes. You just need the parent ID and module name (like 'Leads' or 'Contacts') to attach the context correctly.
