Triggers and actions

Connect Perplexity AI as a trigger and Google Docs as an action through Make's automation platform to create intelligent workflows. When changes occur in Perplexity AI, the trigger activates and sends queries to Google Docs, which then generates AI-powered responses as an action. This integration allows you to automatically harness Google Docs's research capabilities based on activity in your Perplexity AI, with responses flowing directly back into your documents. Configure Perplexity AI triggers to monitor specific documents or folders, and set up Google Docs actions to process queries and return accurate, AI-generated content that populates your documentation automatically.

Step 1

Add your app to your workflow

Log into your Make account and add the app you want to use (like Google Docs or Perplexity AI) to your workflow. When you add the app module, you'll see a button to create a new connection—this is where you'll link the app to Make so they can work together.

Step 2

Give your connection a name

Step 3

Choose your connection method

Depending on the app, you'll connect in one of two ways: either by signing in with your account credentials (like with Google Docs) or by using a special API key (like with Perplexity AI). The API key is a secure code that allows Make to access your app safely—you can find or generate this key in your app's settings.

Step 4

Complete the connection process

If using an API key, copy it from your app's settings and paste it carefully into Make's connection window. If signing in directly, click the sign-in button and log in through the secure window that appears. Either way, you may need to approve permissions that allow Make to work with your data, such as accessing your documents or generating content.
