Perplexity

Manage the entire client journey.

To onboard a new potential customer, start by executing `zoho_create_lead`. This captures their basic details and assigns them a source (like 'Trade Show'). Later, when they are ready to talk business, you can call `zoho_create_contact` and link the person to an established company record using `Account_Name`.

Update deal progress automatically.

When a big opportunity pops up, use `zoho_create_deal`. You define the name, stage, amount, and expected close date. It keeps your sales process organized. If you're checking on existing deals or need to report status, running `zoho_search_deals` gives you an instant readout of the deal's progress, stage, and linked account.

Maintain a complete activity log.

Never lose context. Use `zoho_create_note` to attach meeting summaries or quick call notes directly to any record—a Deal, Contact, or Account. Want an overview of recent company activity? You can run `zoho_list_records`. It pulls the latest data from almost every CRM module so you always know what's going on.
