Scripting New Support Tickets

Need to log a critical bug report for CI/CD testing? You can execute `zoho_create_case` directly. Just pass the subject, priority (High/Medium/Low), origin channel, and reason code. This handles creating a new support record in Zoho CRM without any GUI fuss.

Generating Knowledge Base Content via Code

You can use `zoho_create_solution` to programmatically draft documentation. Provide the title, question, and answer content—all as strings in your script. The MCP Server then handles writing that new article into Zoho CRM with a specific publish status.

Batch Updating Case Status for Deployment

If a set of test cases are resolved simultaneously, you can run `zoho_update_case`. You only need to specify the case ID and the change—like setting the status to 'Closed' or bumping the priority. It keeps your support records clean.
