Instead of pulling reports from three different dashboards, they ask their agent to `list_payments`, review the results, and then use `get_customer` to verify which payment belongs to a specific client. ### Handling an urgent client refund A support rep needs to issue a full refund immediately. They ask their agent to find the correct transaction ID using `list_payments`, and then trigger the full reversal with `refund_payment` in one step. ### Closing a sales deal remotely A salesperson is wrapping up a call and needs payment. They tell their agent to use `create_paylink` for the agreed-upon amount, providing the client with an immediate URL they can click on. ### Updating contact records after a sale A finance analyst receives information about a new client. They first run `list_customers` to check for duplicates and then use `create_customer` to build the necessary profile data cleanly. ## Benefits - Stop switching tabs.
