Perplexity

Batch check billing status using MCP Server

Need an overnight report on outstanding money? Pipe a list of accounts to `zoho_list_invoices`. You'll get the subject, current status, total amount due, and whether payment was received. This is perfect for CI/CD jobs that run nightly reconciliation. It handles listing all invoices in bulk so you don't have to query them one by one.

Report on sales pipeline using Zoho CRM Sales and Claude Code

Want a quick snapshot of the entire sales funnel? Use `zoho_search_deals`. Pipe the output to your script; it provides deal name, stage (like 'Qualification' or 'Proposal'), amount, closing date, and linked account for every opportunity. This is ideal for generating status reports or feeding data into a metrics dashboard.

Create structured quotes from the command line

A script needs to generate proposals. Run `zoho_create_quote` by passing the subject, linking it to both a deal name and an account name, and setting the validity date. The tool returns the newly created quote ID, which you can pipe into subsequent actions. This lets you programmatically manage your proposal documents.
