Connect Perplexity AI and Jira Cloud Platform integrations

Get your API credentials from both applications

Before you can connect Jira and Perplexity AI to Make, you need to obtain special access keys from each platform. For Jira, log into your Atlassian account and create an API token—this is like a password that allows Make to access your Jira data. For Perplexity AI, go to your account settings and generate an API key from the API section. Make sure to copy and save both of these keys immediately in a safe place, as you won't be able to see them again once you close the window.

Add your first application module to Make

Log into your Make account and open the scenario where you want to create your automation. Click to add a new module and search for either Jira or Perplexity AI—whichever one you want to start with. Select the module from the list to add it to your scenario. This module acts as a bridge that will allow Make to communicate with your chosen application and perform actions on your behalf.

Create the connection in Make

Once you've added your module, you'll see a 'Connection' field. Click the 'Add' or 'Create a connection' button next to this field to start linking your application to Make. You can give your connection a custom name to help you remember what it's for, especially if you plan to connect multiple accounts later. This step prepares Make to receive the credentials you gathered earlier.

Enter your connection credentials

Now it's time to use those API keys you saved earlier. For Jira, you'll need to enter your Jira website address, your username, and paste in your API token. For Perplexity AI, you'll simply paste your API key into the designated field. Double-check that all the information is correct, then click 'Save' to establish the connection. Your application and Make are now linked and ready to work together.

Repeat the process for your second application

Follow the same steps to connect your second application to Make. Add the module for your other app, click to create a new connection, and enter the appropriate credentials. Once both connections are saved, test them by running your scenario to make sure everything is working properly. You can now build automated workflows that allow Jira and Perplexity AI to communicate through Make, saving you time and eliminating repetitive manual tasks.
