Can I preview how much a customer will be charged before updating their subscription?

Yes. The `preview_subscription` tool simulates a run of the billing engine for a specific subscription ID. Your AI agent will return the projected charges and billing dates without committing any actual changes to the account.

How do I see the invoice history for a specific billing account?

You can use the `get_invoices` tool. Provide the unique Zuora account ID or number, and your agent will retrieve a list of all invoices generated for that customer, helping you audit their billing history.

Is it possible to update a customer's billing contact info via chat?

Absolutely. Using the `update_account` tool, you can provide a JSON payload with updated fields (e.g., billing email or address) for a specific account ID, and your agent will apply the changes in Zuora instantly.
