Perplexity

Run multi-agent research on company profiles.

You can assign an Agent to use `zoho_search_accounts` to find a specific business entity. A second agent then analyzes that result, pulling out details like industry and annual revenue for a report. This simulates human teamwork: one specialized role gathers raw data, and another specialized role acts as the analyst, ensuring complex tasks are broken down and completed.

Process leads through qualification to contact conversion.

A 'Prospecting Agent' uses `zoho_search_leads` first. If a high-value lead is found, it passes the data to an 'Execution Agent.' The second agent then calls `zoho_create_contact` to formally convert and establish the record. This structured handover models a real sales team process: research, assessment, action.

Maintain a continuous historical record of client interactions.

The 'Support Agent' uses `zoho_create_note` whenever an interaction happens. It logs the summary and attaches it to the correct parent record ID—be it a Deal, Contact, or Account. This ensures that no matter which agent is working on the client file, the history remains complete and traceable.
