How to setup Google Drive and Perplexity AI in 5 easy steps
Add your app module in Make
Sign into your Make account and open the scenario where you want to create an automation. Search for the app you want to connect, such as Google Drive or Perplexity AI, and add its module to your workspace. You'll see a button to create a new connection, which is your starting point for linking Make with the application you want to use.
Start the connection process
After adding the app module to your scenario, click the "Create a connection" button that appears. This tells Make you're ready to link your external app account. A connection window will open where you can optionally give your connection a descriptive name like "My Work Google Drive" to help you identify it later if you manage multiple connections.
Get your API key from Perplexity AI
For Perplexity AI connections, you'll need an API key. Log into your Perplexity AI account and click the settings icon next to your username. Navigate to the API section in the sidebar and generate a new API key. Copy this key immediately and store it safely, as you'll need to paste it into Make to complete the connection.
Sign in with Google for Google Drive
When connecting Google Drive, click the "Sign in with Google" button that appears in the connection window. You'll be redirected to Google's login page where you enter your email and password. After signing in, review the permissions screen that shows what Make needs to access, then click to approve these permissions so your automation can work properly.
Save and start using your connection
Once you've entered your API key for Perplexity AI or completed the Google sign-in process, click the "Save" button at the bottom of the connection window. Make will test the connection to ensure everything works correctly. After successful confirmation, your connected app is ready to use in your scenarios, and Make will save this connection for future use across all your automations.

FAQ
By connecting Google Drive with Perplexity AI on Make, you can automatically analyze documents stored in your Drive using Perplexity's knowledge discovery capabilities. For example, you can create workflows that extract key insights from PDFs, summarize lengthy reports, or answer specific questions about document content without manually reading through everything. This integration saves hours of research time and helps you make better decisions based on the information in your files.
Make enables you to build powerful automated workflows such as: automatically generating summaries when new documents are added to specific Drive folders, creating research reports by querying Perplexity AI about document topics and saving results back to Drive, extracting and organizing information from multiple files into structured formats, or setting up intelligent document processing pipelines that answer questions about your files on demand. These no-code automations run 24/7 without manual intervention.
No programming skills are required. Make provides a visual, drag-and-drop interface that makes it easier to connect Google Drive and Perplexity AI. You select triggers (like 'new file in Drive'), add actions (like 'query Perplexity AI'), and configure the data flow between them using Make's intuitive modules. The platform handles all the technical complexity, authentication, and API connections, allowing anyone to build sophisticated integrations in minutes.
Make uses enterprise-grade security measures including OAuth 2.0 authentication for secure connections to both Google Drive and Perplexity AI. Your credentials are encrypted, and Make only accesses the specific data you authorize for each workflow. You maintain full control over which folders and files are processed, and can revoke access at any time. Make is SOC 2 compliant and processes millions of operations daily for businesses worldwide, ensuring your documents and AI queries remain private and secure.
A scenario represents a workflow or a project of your own creation, and it is made up of a series of modules that automate apps and services. Creating a scenario allows you to transfer and transform data between apps and services via these modules to automate anything and improve the way you work.
Modules are the main building blocks of automation in Make. Modules represent actions that Make performs with an app, like creating, updating, or deleting data.
How it works
Traditional no-code iPaaS platforms are linear and non-intuitive. Make allows you to visually create, build, and automate without limits.
