Create a custom workflow

Transform your Microsoft SQL Server database into an intelligent powerhouse by automatically triggering Perplexity AI to generate research insights, enrich records, and process queries whenever data changes. Eliminate manual work as Make connects your structured data with AI capabilities, delivering results the moment your database updates.

Triggers and actions

Connect Perplexity AI as a trigger and Microsoft SQL Server as an action through Make's automation platform. When new data enters your SQL database or existing records are updated, Perplexity AI triggers the workflow automatically. This trigger then activates Microsoft SQL Server to perform actions such as generating AI-powered research responses, enriching database records with intelligent insights, or processing queries based on the SQL data. The integration creates an automated workflow where Perplexity AI monitors your database for specified events and Microsoft SQL Server executes corresponding actions, transforming your structured database information into AI-powered outputs without manual intervention.

Step 1

Get your Perplexity AI API key

Sign in to your Perplexity AI account and click the Settings icon next to your username. Select the API option from the sidebar, then navigate to the API Keys section where you can generate a new key by clicking the Create Key button. Copy this key immediately and store it somewhere safe, as you won't be able to view it again later.

Step 2

Set up your API group and payment

Before generating your API key, you'll need to create an API group by filling in the required information and saving it. You'll also be prompted to add your payment details, which will be stored for future API usage but won't charge your card right away. This ensures your API access is ready to use when needed.
