Connect Google Sheets and Perplexity AI integrations

Add your app module to start the connection

Begin by logging into Make and opening your automation scenario. Click to add a module and choose the app you want to connect, like Google Sheets or Perplexity AI. After adding the module, you'll see an option to create a connection, which allows Make to securely access your app data. This connection is essential because it links Make to your external application account. Without it, Make wouldn't be able to read or modify your data, so this is the foundation of your automation.

Click create a connection and name it

Look for the 'Create a connection' button in your module and click it to open the setup window. You'll see an optional field where you can enter a connection name, like 'My Google Sheets Connection,' which helps you identify it later. Giving your connection a clear, descriptive name is especially helpful when you're managing multiple automations or using several accounts for the same app. This step saves time and prevents confusion down the road.

Sign in with your app account

For apps like Google Sheets that use standard login methods, you'll see a 'Sign in' button. Click it and you'll be taken to the app's login page where you enter your username and password, just like logging in normally. This method is straightforward and secure because you don't need to copy any special codes. The app handles the connection automatically once you've successfully logged in with your credentials.

Grant Make permission to access your app

After signing in, the app will display a list of permissions that Make needs, such as reading files or creating documents. Review these carefully to understand what Make will be able to do with your data. Click the button to approve these permissions. This authorization step is crucial because it allows Make to perform actions in your app on your behalf whenever your automation runs.

Save and confirm your connection

After completing the sign-in and permission steps, click the 'Save' button to finalize your connection setup. Make will test the connection to ensure everything is configured correctly and working properly. Once saved, your connection will appear in the module's dropdown menu and can be reused across multiple automations. You won't need to set it up again unless you want to connect a different account for the same app.
