How to setup Perplexity AI and WhatsApp Business Cloud in 5 easy steps
Get your Perplexity AI API key
Log into your Perplexity AI account and click on the Settings icon next to your username. Navigate to the API section in the left sidebar, where you'll create a new API group by entering the required information and saving it. You may need to add payment details, but this won't charge you immediately—it's just for usage tracking. Next, go to the API Keys tab and click the '+ Create Key' button to generate your unique API key. Copy this key immediately and store it safely, as you'll need it to connect Perplexity AI with Make. Think of this key as a secure password that allows the two apps to communicate.
Connect Perplexity AI to your Make scenario
Log into your Make account and open the scenario where you want to use Perplexity AI. Add a Perplexity AI module to your workflow—modules are the building blocks of automation in Make, and each one represents an action from a specific app. When prompted, click 'Create a connection' and give it a name if you'd like. Paste the API key you copied earlier from Perplexity AI into the API Key field, then click Save. This establishes the secure connection between Perplexity AI and Make, allowing them to work together.
Add WhatsApp Business Cloud to your Make scenario
In your Make scenario, add a WhatsApp Business Cloud module where you want WhatsApp functionality. Click 'Create a connection' when the option appears to begin the setup process. In the connection setup screen, select 'WhatsApp Business Cloud' as the Connection type and optionally give your connection a memorable name. Click Save to move forward to the authentication step, which will link your Facebook and WhatsApp business accounts with Make.
Connect your Facebook and WhatsApp accounts
You'll be redirected to log in with your Facebook account. Follow the on-screen instructions to select your business assets, including the Facebook Business Account you want to connect with Make. If you already have a phone number registered in the WhatsApp Business App that you'd like to use, select the option 'Connect a WhatsApp SMB account' in the WhatsApp Business field during this process.
Complete your WhatsApp Business setup
Continue through the Facebook authentication process by filling in your business information, creating or selecting your WhatsApp Business account, setting up your WhatsApp Business profile, and adding your phone number. Confirm access when prompted to finalize the connection. If you see a 'Resource not found error' after completing the setup, simply retry the connection. Any accounts you created during your first attempt are already saved, so just select them from the list instead of creating new ones.

FAQ
By integrating Perplexity AI with WhatsApp Business Cloud through Make, you can automatically provide your customers with intelligent, knowledge-powered responses directly through WhatsApp. When customers send inquiries via WhatsApp Business, Make can trigger Perplexity AI to search for accurate, up-to-date information and send comprehensive answers back through WhatsApp instantly. This creates a powerful automated customer support system that delivers reliable information 24/7, reducing response times and improving customer satisfaction without requiring manual intervention.
Make enables you to create versatile automation workflows between these applications. For example, you can set up scenarios where incoming WhatsApp messages trigger Perplexity AI searches, with results automatically sent back to customers. You can create FAQ automation where common questions are instantly answered with researched information, product inquiry workflows that fetch detailed specifications and comparisons, or knowledge-sharing systems that distribute curated information to WhatsApp contact lists. Make's visual workflow builder lets you customize these scenarios without coding, adding conditions, filters, and multi-step processes tailored to your business needs.
Make simplifies the integration process with its intuitive drag-and-drop interface, making it accessible even for users without technical expertise. You can connect both Perplexity AI and WhatsApp Business Cloud to Make in minutes using pre-built modules. The platform provides ready-to-use templates and clear documentation to guide you through authentication and workflow creation. You can start with a free Make account to test the integration, build your first automation scenario, and see results immediately. Make handles all the technical complexity of API connections, so you can focus on designing workflows that deliver value to your business.
Make eliminates the need for expensive development resources and ongoing maintenance that custom integrations require. Instead of spending weeks or months coding and debugging API connections, you can launch working integrations in hours using Make's pre-built connectors. Make automatically handles API updates, authentication management, error handling, and scaling, which would otherwise require dedicated technical staff. Additionally, Make offers 1000+ other app integrations, allowing you to expand your automation ecosystem beyond just these two applications. You get enterprise-grade reliability, detailed execution logs, and the flexibility to modify workflows instantly as your business needs evolve, all at a fraction of the cost of custom development.
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.
