Perplexity

Manage deal status updates via the MCP Server.

The team needs to know if a deal moved from 'Negotiation' to 'Proposal,' right? Use `zoho_update_deal` for controlled changes. This function lets you advance the stage, update the amount after negotiation, or set the closing date. This keeps every developer working off the same source of truth regarding pipeline progress.

Automate quote generation and product lookups.

When generating a proposal, use `zoho_create_quote`. You pass in the required subject line and link it to an account and deal. The tool also requires setting the validity date. For any necessary pricing checks, the `zoho_search_products` tool pulls current product details—name, unit price, and code—so your team never uses outdated numbers.

Audit sales fulfillment using the MCP Server.

Developers can verify the entire revenue path. First, check confirmed commitments with `zoho_list_sales_orders`. This shows status, total amount, and expected ship date for orders that passed quote approval. Later in the cycle, use `zoho_list_invoices` to confirm billing details: subject, account, total, due date, and payment status.
